Gorsuch recently pushed back against Biden's recent proposals to restructure the Supreme Court, reportedly saying, "I just say: Be careful."

Gorsuch is cool with lining up at the trough of corruption. He dipped his toes into the swamp with him home sale.

He sees the bribes that Alito and Lumpy are raking in and is salivating for his turn at the trough.

He has voted to allow bribery to flourish in government.

"In a concurring opinion, Gorsuch wrote that, "Lenity may sometimes, as it does today, go unnamed. It may be deployed under other guises, too. 'Fair notice' or
'fair warning' are especially familiar masks."

Lenity is a legal principal used in criminal cases that tells the court that when a defendant is charged under ambiguous or unclear statutes, the law should be applied in a way that favors the defendant.

"But make no mistake: Whatever the label, lenity is what's at work behind today's decision, just as it is in so many others," the justice said. "Rightly so. I am pleased to join.""

He is putting his for sale sign on extra bright.

For the most part, SCOTUS (and for two hundred years the US Senate) have been the bastions of white privilege protecting the status quo and the 1% super-wealthy in our country. If not for previous Democratic POTUS nominating progressive jurists like Thurgood Marshall or Joan Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the American people would be in worse shape today.

Imagine how life will improve for hard-working Americans when SCOTUS is reformed or progressives are the majority on the bench? A woman's reproductive rights would be secure and the right to sue US firearms manufacturers would be enshrined.

The same applies to the US Senate. One day the Democrats will have a clear majority and beneficial legislation for all Americans will pass smoothly. Sen Ted Cruz (R-TX) filibustered Obamacare all night and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 spent 72 days in filibuster before LBJ was finally able to sign in into law on 2 July 1964.

Neil Gorsuch is a hopelessly, haplessly pompous patoot, the personification of a paean to entitlement.

I do not like that man Ted Cruz
I do not like his far right views
I do not like his stupid chin
I do not like his smarmy grin
I do not like him with a beard
I do not like him freshly sheared
I do not like Ted Cruz at all
That man Ted Cruz can suck my *****

I do not like that man Ted Cruz
I do not like him in the news
I do not like what he just said
I do not like his boxy head
I do not like him wearing glasses
I do not like him kissing asses
I wish he'd never get one vote
That man Ted Cruz can lick my scrot

People on the Take don't give up their Perks and privileges without a fight.

Expect pushback. They will declare any reform "Unconstitutional".

They will have a majority. The Justices are only human and humans like free stuff and unearned privileges.

It's a huge Power Trip too.

To be totally Unaccountable and have impunity to be corrupt without fear or consequences.

Reform has a huge hill to climb.

Good Luck.

gorsuch said that if Biden claims that he did something in his official capacity, he is above the law and it is not reviewable. I think that gorsuch is the one who should be careful.

Do these gift accepting conservative SCOTUS judges care that a huge majority of US citizens have record low opinions of the SCOTUS these days?

"Do these gift accepting conservative SCOTUS judges care that a huge majority of US citizens have record low opinions of the SCOTUS these days?"

They're starting to care now. Biden has opened their Pandora's Box and Trump appointees are getting antsy about it.

When the legal system is corrupt, all is lost.

I'm surprised that these corrupt justices didn't know that everything Trump touches die.

Of course, everything, including the DOJ's appointment of a Special Counsel, depends on who wins on November 5, 2024. Assuming it's Kamala Harris, we may see some ~ (ahem) ~ 'conditional early retirements' among the Lords on High.

Gorsuch makes Biden look like a simpleton bordering on Down's Syndrome.
