defund the supreme court [View all]

with the court showing an extreme parstisan bent and basically ignoring ethics rules its time to refuse to fund them until they refrom themselves.
cut off all funding. if they complain about it or issue an order to the contrary ignore it.

and for those that say it could destroy america that ship has sailed. the rethugs have already declared war on democracy and have already pretty much destroyed the american ideal. they have already done so much damage to the country that the destruction has already occurred. its time to fight back with any tool available
