Showing Original Post only (View all)Speaker Johnson Says What? [View all]
He later added that the justices on the nations highest court, many of whom he knows personally, are deeply concerned about that, as we are. So, I think they will set this straight, but its gonna take a while.
Wow 😳. That is a pretty interesting statement from the Speaker. One is it exposes a significant bias from the Justices in question, calling into question their ability to be impartial in cases involving TSF.
Two, in what situation is the Speaker of the House associating with SCOTUS Justices and discussing the legal challenges facing the former president? Why is that conversation even happening? What was the reason that the Speaker engaged with multiple Justices in the last 12 hours and specifically discussed Trump's legal issues?

I thought Roberts told us yesterday he couldn't meet with congress members. But today we're told he met Speaker Johnson

Far beyond "calling into question"; NO doubt that the SC is captive to rightwing elite

Johnson is immoral, no wonder he needs to have his son keep a close eye on his activities.
