The second flag is the “Appeal to Heaven” flag, a Revolutionary War-era banner. The “Appeal to Heaven” language references philosopher John Locke, who argued that, when earthly political appeals are exhausted, men have the right to take up arms and let God sort out the justness of the cause. While the The Appeal to Heaven flag was not always controversial, it has been revived by militant Christian nationalists and was also a potent symbol on Jan. 6. This flag was flown at the Alitos’ vacation home in New Jersey in 2023.

I didn’t know the flag was literally “kill everyone and let God sort them out”…

I will do my part by not voting in protest! That will surely work! (/s)

Politicians famously consider the opinions of people who don’t vote. /s

That’s why you vote uncommitted. There’s no way to ignore that message or use any of their usual excuses.

But the Democrats understand what they need to do in order to win election, they’re just so latched to the corporate tit that they won’t do it. Think they can get a few more gulps of that sweet lobby money before things get “serious”. The pigs are too busy feeding to give a fuck about our democracy collapsing.

Protest voting would be aimed at reforming a democratic party that’s unfit to confront fascism. It’s a legitimate strategy whether you agree with it or not.

Another Biden term will not do anything to mitigate Democratic complicity with fascism. Establishment dems are quite literally worse than useless.

Wow, that’s pretty fucking blatant.

But so were the last dozen things we’ve discovered about the Tribunal of Six.

Unfortunately, I expect nobody will do anything about this in an official capacity, due to obstructionism by the right, and because politicians on the left would probably think iT’s toO diViSiVE

We as civilians should gather outside the Supreme Court and demand he be removed.

Not if you’re peacefully protesting and practicing your right to bear arms at the same time. Rubepublicans hate that shit.

It would be one thing if there was no mechanism for accountability within the Supreme Court. Its a fundamental flaw in our constitution.

However: https://www.fastcompany.com/90243523/can-a-supreme-court-justice-be-removed-yes-and-heres-how

The way the Biden campaign is running to the right this election, Democrats will almost assuredly be losing the house and the senate, so removing any of these justices is a bit of a fantasy. If anything, we’ll probably lose a liberal justice for a conservative one.

The guy can say anything he wants. It’s not like if he does something illegal that the supreme court is going to convict him. He doesn’t need to ever win an election, he’s there for life.

This will just upset the people who already know the guy is a problem and are already upset with him.

I wish justices had term limits.

It’s not like someone is going to get mad enough to off him…

The folks mad enough to off a SC justice are more likely to point their guns at Jackson or Sotomayer.

Liberals will just frown and send polite letters to their Senators to maybe consider having a hearing or something.
