They're "overreacting" because it's Traitor Thomas lame54 Oct 2022 #14

Sure. It shows Thomas is not recusing, though. So far anyway. nt Hortensis Oct 2022 #15

And he won't because he is corrupt. Nevilledog Oct 2022 #16

Yes. The acting unilaterally bit is a fake panic button, the Justice has to act unilaterally! Alexander Of Assyria Oct 2022 #26

I figure it is his way of signaling to Graham his support. Solly Mack Oct 2022 #38

It's also a signal to Trump in the (likely) event one of his cases is appealed to the Supreme Court. sop Oct 2022 #41

Would make sense. Solly Mack Oct 2022 #43

Afraid Lindsey Would Dish Dirt On Ginny? nt smb Oct 2022 #13

Yep. It's a third branch attempted nullification of first branch. ancianita Oct 2022 #17

A higher power? Scottie Mom Oct 2022 #21

Wishful thinking doesn't help. Perhaps the Jan 6 committee can initiate a criminal referral to the ancianita Oct 2022 #44

Well, now that Clarence Thomas put Fani Willis' suite on hold... Scottie Mom Oct 2022 #57

What makes you think her investigation just depends on Graham or this one subpoena. It's going ancianita Oct 2022 #58

Maybe not entirely on Graham, but she is pushing to get him as hard as he is pushing to get away Scottie Mom Oct 2022 #59

He's doing this to keep from being charged himself. That's it. He might slither out of Willis' ancianita Oct 2022 #60

Why does Graham get to appeal directly to the SCOTUS? maxsolomon Oct 2022 #61

What do you mean by "directly"? sl8 Oct 2022 #70

He made an emergency appeal directly to the SCOTUS. maxsolomon Oct 2022 #72

Are you of the view that appellate court decisions shouldn't be subject to SCOTUS review? onenote Oct 2022 #75

Of course I'm not. I'm just fucking sick of the delays. Aren't you? maxsolomon Oct 2022 #77

SCOTUS receives 10,000 petitions for certiorari per year onenote Oct 2022 #78

Am I "sick" of delays? I guess, but they're to be expected. onenote Oct 2022 #79
