“The No One Is Above the Law Amendment”
“I have great respect for our institutions and separation of powers. What is happening now is not normal, and it undermines the public’s confidence in the court’s decisions, including those impacting personal freedoms. We now stand in a breach,” ~President Joe Biden
The Supreme Court has shown its cards. Their agenda is in line with Project 2025. They are not bound by their oath of office or restricted by the unenforced code of ethics they wrote for themselves, to pacify the escalating outrage as news of their pernicious behavior was leaked to the public.
They have been working for the highest bidder and, despite the floodlight on their behavior, no one can control them. Their word is absolute.
“When the Supreme Court rules on a constitutional issue, that judgment is virtually final; its decisions can be altered only by the rarely used procedure of constitutional amendment or by a new ruling of the Court. However, when the Court interprets a statute, new legislative action can be taken.” ~supremecourt.gov
That said, what can we do? There are three options:
- Impeach then vote to remove individual justices, but this process requires a 2/3 majority in both branches of Congress.
- Congress can expand the court, from nine to at least 12 to match the number of judicial circuits, and to coincide with the increased U.S. population since the last time the Court’s size was altered, in 1869. We need a supermajority to affect this change, 60 rather than 51 Senate votes.
- An amendment to the constitution can override SCOTUS rulings. Congress is required to pass this as well.
Where we stand today, democrats are the minority in the House and hold the majority by one in the Senate. It is not a supermajority, not to mention the two democratic senators who vote with republicans more often than not.
It is easy to imagine this group of villains interjecting their will into the 2024 presidential election. Does anyone believe they wouldn’t interfere? This is my fear. The conservative Supreme Court, which included Clarence Thomas, disenfranchised over half the voters in 2000. They ruled in Trump’s favor that presidents have immunity as long as they committed their crimes while they’re in office.
They’ve already done what they claimed they would not during their confirmation hearings. They all said they believed Roe v Wade was a settled matter. In 2022, we realized they had lied.
When forced, they will admit to accepting “gifts from friends,” who have cases come before the court. The grounds for impeachment for Thomas and Alito are their refusal to recuse themselves from those proceedings. They rule in favor of those who paid them. Their wives have so far eluded justice. One was involved in the 1/6 attempt to overthrow our democracy, another accepts bribes on behalf of her spouse. Alito has given his wife credit for hanging flags upside down in front of their home.
Enter, Dark Brandon.
President Biden has issued a three point constitutional revision to reform the Supreme Court:
- No Immunity for Crimes committed by a Former President—That amendment would repeal the Supreme Court’s judgment made in favor of Trump v. United States, and granting presidents broad, and “absolute” amnesty for “official acts” while in office. Reversing their decision restores our principle that no man is above the law.
- Term Limits for Supreme Court Justices: The limit for each, up to 18 years, and each president appoints a new justice every two years. 💥 The first three members of our SCOTUS who might be affected by term limits are on the right. Clarence Thomas has been on the court for nearly 33 years. Chief Justice John Roberts has served for 19 years, and Samuel Alito for 18… hehehe
- A Binding Code of Conduct for the Supreme Court. President Biden plans to issue an enforceable regulation of ethics for the SCOTUS that requires them to: disclose gifts, refrain from public political activity, and recuse themselves from cases in which they or their spouses have financial or other conflicts of interest.
But:
Unless Dark Brandon steps up after the election results are known, and uses his new power to restrain the rogue SCOTUS.
The 2024 election is in 98-days. It is time to stop electing corrupt politicians. We can only repair our broken system of elections with a government aligned with the population. The minority currently has more than their fair share of power. Gerrymandered districts affect the balance of influence in the U.S. House of Representatives, as well as every faction of local government. Don’t get me started on the electoral college.
The following must be addressed:
- Ginny Thomas has not been indicted for her role in 1/6.
- Mike Flynn not been recalled to face court-martial.
- Trump hasn’t been sentenced for his felonies.
- Louis DeJoy still in DePostOffice.
- Members of Congress who took part in the planning of 1/6 are still in office.
- SCOTUS members who committed perjury during their confirmation hearings have not been recalled.
Donald Trump has said, “I don’t need your votes.” Why is that? What does he plan to do?

Thank you! Lindsey Graham called it on 05/03/ 2016, when he said, “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed…….and we will deserve it.” ← that’s copied and pasted from his Twitter account. He hasn’t deleted it.

Howdy Lydia!
First, I heard that Rachel Maddow show in which she suggested that Trump was planning on county-level vote certification officials not certifying their county votes kinda like what happened in New Mexico in 2022 when the STATE Supreme Court ordered them to certify. I’m not sure of the legs this plan has if it is up to state supreme courts. She is right, though. If it makes it to SCOTUS, all bets are off.
That said, Biden again shows the advantage of having been in politics for over sixty years and the acuity of his mind. He has put the Supreme Court front and center as an election issue. The message is simple: if you want Supreme Court reform, then we have to have a Congress that will enact the reform measures. It becomes an argument for electing Democrats up and down the ticket.
If Trump wins the election, it will be by 2016 and 2020 margins. That means Congress will largely look the same meaning small majorities for which ever party. Unfortunately, in the Senate the filibuster is gone if the Republicans take the majority, so there goes the 60 vote threshold. Why Dems never realized this and got rid of it themselves, I’ll never know.
But Harris either wins with similar slim margins or she wins in a landslide. It could go either way. The landslide would likely have long coattails giving her workable Dem majorities in Congress. The SCOTUS issue that Biden just clarified and focused the country on could be a major contributing factor there.
Huzzah!
