yacht, and a million to his wife, but Ginnie Thomas later participated in the January 6th insurrection. The conflict of interest is clear, yet he refuses to recuse himself from cases involving Trump. The cravenness and corruption within the Supreme Court are a stark reminder that justice is not blind, but rather tainted by political bias and personal interests.
The deliberate delay in hearing Trump’s case, the manipulation of the legal system to protect him, and the complicity of conservative justices in aiding his authoritarian aspirations are all symptoms of a broader decay in our democratic institutions. The erosion of the rule of law in favor of partisan agendas is a dangerous precedent that threatens the very foundation of our society.… Continue reading
As I delve into the latest news surrounding Trump’s missed Supreme Court deadline to fight civil immunity from Jan. 6 lawsuits, I can’t help but feel a mix of frustration and disbelief at the circus that seems to constantly surround the former president. It’s apparent that Trump and his legal team are floundering, missing crucial deadlines and making critical mistakes that have serious legal consequences.
The fact that he failed to file a writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court by the agreed-upon deadline speaks volumes about his current predicament. It seems like Trump’s legal strategy is falling apart at the seams, and he may be running out of tricks up his sleeve.… Continue reading
Trump Says Jan. 6 Was an Insurrection
As I sit here, trying to comprehend the absurdity of the statement made by former President Donald Trump, I can’t help but shake my head in disbelief. How is it possible that anyone can still support this man? What has happened in their lives that led them to believe that he is the right choice? These questions swirl in my mind as I dive deeper into the recent news. Trump’s lawyers, in a filing this week, had asserted that the events of January 6th did not constitute an insurrection. However, just days later, Trump himself stated, “I think it was an insurrection.”… Continue reading
Democrats rip Clarence Thomas for not recusing himself from the Supreme Court Trump argument, and rightfully so. It is undoubtedly concerning that a Supreme Court justice would not take necessary steps to avoid conflicts of interest. The fact that Thomas’s wife was allegedly involved in the January 6th riots raises significant questions about his impartiality. How can he fairly evaluate Trump’s case when his own wife may have been complicit in the events leading up to the insurrection?
It is essential to maintain the integrity and credibility of the Supreme Court, and that requires judges who are not beholden to any personal biases or connections.… Continue reading

It’s a decision that many of us have been waiting for, and one that brings us hope for accountability and justice.

As I reflect on this matter, I am filled with a sense of frustration, disbelief, and concern for the state of our democracy.
Firstly, it is important to address the severity of the events that took place on January 6th. It was not simply a riot, as some choose to label it. No, it was an insurrection, a coordinated effort by the Trump administration to overturn the election results through fraudulent means.… Continue reading
‘Oath-breaking insurrectionist’ Trump is ineligible for office, Colorado voters tell the Supreme Court
It’s a headline that many of us thought we would never see, but it seems that there may finally be some justice on the horizon. Colorado voters have taken a stand and told the Supreme Court that former President Donald Trump is ineligible for office due to his involvement in the insurrection that took place on January 6, 2021.
When I first heard the news, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. Finally, someone is holding Trump accountable for his actions. The events of January 6 were a dark day in American history, and it is clear that Trump played a significant role in inciting the violence that unfolded at the Capitol.… Continue reading
Colorado voters seeking to disqualify Trump from the ballot are making a bold and necessary move. As responsible and patriotic citizens, they are doing their civic duty to clean up the mess created by the former president. The stain on US history is not simply Trump’s presidency itself, but his actions that led to the events of January 6.
Many argue that the 14th Amendment should be invoked to bar Trump from running for office again. If the Supreme Court rules against him, it will send a strong message that the Constitution is not to be undermined for political gain. On the other hand, if they rule in his favor, it would confirm the perception that the court has become another political arm.… Continue reading
Proud Boys member gets six years in prison for Capitol riot after insulting judge
I can’t help but shake my head at the audacity and lack of remorse displayed by Marc Bru, a member of the Proud Boys, during his sentencing for his participation in the Capitol riot. Bru, who was handcuffed and shackled, boldly proclaimed, “You can give me 100 years and I’d do it all over again.” These words not only reflect his defiance towards the legal system but also his belief that he will be pardoned within a year.
It is truly disheartening to witness someone who actively participated in an armed insurrection against democracy show no remorse for their actions.… Continue reading
