The supreme scheme: How Alito and Thomas are fueling the ongoing Trump coup -Thom Hartmann
Senator Dick Durbin, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, needs to act.
Supreme Court Associate Justice Sam Alito was just caught red-handed promoting Trumps fascist stop the steal campaign to overthrow the 2020 election and end democracy in America by flying the upside-down flag at his home. He then went on Fox News and lied that it was his wifes fault and that she did it because schoolchildren at a nearby bus stop saw a neighbors F*ck Trump yard sign.
In fact, as the Lincoln Projects Steve Schmidt pointed out this past weekend:
Mrs. Alito was so alarmed by the degradations and profane, yet protected speech that she went immediately home, and inverted the American flag signaling distress. Heres the problem: there were no school buses and no school children on them in January 2021 in Alexandria, Virginia. Schools in the city were closed for a full year as a result of the pandemic and didnt re-open until March 2021.
But Alitos fingers were apparently far deeper in the January 6th coup attempt than most Americans realize. Trump lawyer Sydney Powell pointed out on Stew Peters rightwing YouTube channel that she, Louie Gohmert, and Kari Lake (among others) had filed a lawsuit against Vice President Mike Pence to prevent him from certifying the Electoral College vote on January 6th.

Dick Durbin announced yesterday there will be no investigation into Alito. Durbin stated that Alito should recuse himself for TSF issues. When asked what happens when Alito fails to recuse himself Durbin stated there is nothing we can do.
This is what George Stefanopoulos meant when we said we cannot normalize what is happening in America.
