I listened to the USSC for 2 of 3 or so hours debate the definition of presidential immunity........

...and it surprised me how clearly corrupt in their wrongheadedness and chilled me to realize just how psychologically compromised, the conservatives of that body were. But more startling was how arrogantly undaunted and unafraid they are that the world would hear that corruption and craziness evidenced from their own voices, by their own words. The least truth which can be said is that this body, this reliable third leg of our government responsible for justice under the constitution, is useless for closing the box of carnage and chaos the neo-con "Dr Frankenstein's" irresponsibly opened. Their monster, their manic MAGA campaigning machine, has evolved from their control and now they're trapped, locked in the same cage as their creation gone amok. No one really knows who possesses, or even if there really is, a key..........or a door.

Well, welcome to the crowd, you dumb-assed "conservatives", we're all Leon Trotsky* now, enjoy your study.

For them as well as a large majority of Republicans generally. And, oh snap, the Dr. Frankenstein analogy — why didn’t I think of that?! Perfection squared!

It is becoming clear that we have to expand the SCOTUS to deal with these nutcases and partisan hacks

You, in a single fell swoop, have hit upon it perfectly. The crap flowing from these inbred villain's orifices could only be considered worthy rhetoric in intellectual deserts such as that found in our "storied" evangelical institutions of higher education. You know, all through European history, universities have descended from the monastic model as librarians and conservators of traditional wisdom. That worked okay until science crashed the party. That crash was, in many ways, the impetus for some of our founder's colonization of America. It's just too bad that the worst thing they brought, an undying "faith" in King Jame's Olde English Script, is the root for all the evangelical aspect of foolishness we're struggling against today. Just a thought.
