1. Absolutely!

Patriarchy specializes in revictimizing survivors!

[Rhiannon12866]

2. And the SCOTUS did not address these important issues - young girls, rape and/or incest - at all!

[SheltieLover]

3. Of course not!

Joe needs to expand the court.

4. Has anyone ever been removed?

I have a few nominees for that, especially based on this issue. The damage that TFG has done to our institutions in only 4 years is going to last for a very long time. I'm listening to Mary Trump's second book (read by the author!) in my car and she says the greatest damage was done to DOJ and State, they depend on continuity and way too many career employees bailed because if TFG. And, as we know, many other positions (like ambassadors) remained empty.

5. No idea but Boof Boy & the Handmaiden as well as Thomas should be

But we both know that will never happen.

[Rhiannon12866]

6. Well, Thomas should have been removed decades ago

The other two should have gone the way of Harriet Miers, remember her??

[SheltieLover]

7. No, I don't recall her

8. She was nominated by George W Bush, completely unqualified, and didn't get very far

So we ended up with Alito instead
