In my humble opinion, this is the time for Democrats to strike. Biden and his Senate allies need to declare that the Court will be expanded when there are 52 Democratic votes in the Senate and the filibuster can be killed. They also need to declare that the well documented doctrine of checks and balances requires that they impose a code of ethics on the Supreme Court that is at least as strict as the code of ethics for other federal employees (if not more so). And they need to declare that there will be term limits on justices of 18 years, retroactively including all current members of the Court. (Which would allow us to bid farewell to Thomas, Alito and Roberts) Oh sure, Moscow Mitch and Leonard Leo will have total meltdowns, but f'k them. They overreached and built the most corrupt, out of touch group of 6 right wing religious nutcakes since Torquemada staffed the Spanish Inquisition (that no one expected).

We created this RELATIONSHIP MAP that makes it easier to track the money, relationships and groups involved in the Supreme Court corruption. The map is online which makes it easier to update as new scandals are exposed. Sad. Clicking on a person or relationship reveals more details.
