41. This is a good victory for now

but we must not lose sight of how deep in the crapper we are at this point in our nation. The demonstrable facts are that a number of the justices committed perjury during their confirmation hearings. Let that sink in. They openly committed felony perjury knowingly and purposely. USC Title 18 Sections 1001 and 1621 are on point. In fact 1001 doesn't even require being under oath. We also have one justice who is demonstrably corrupt in his conduct with respect to his financial matters.

So the court majority is swinging on cases with justices who openly and knowingly committed felonies to get the seat. They did so because they knew that even if found out later that any real repercussion to them would be harsh words at most. That needs to change. There needs to be serious investigation of this matter. If we don't it is not inconceivable that a future GQP controlled Senate could nominate and ram through someone even more of a crackpot than Alito or someone with even deeper corruption. This clown of a judge in Texas should be on the hot seat of a full blown investigation for perjury right now. Not after he does more and more damage to the country for years on end. You can bet the GQP would love to have 9 of him on the SC.
