Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor and conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch formed an unlikely allegiance Wednesday when they united for a public discussion calling on Americans to learn to communicate and talk civilly to each other as an urgent matter of national security. The SCOTUS justices have warned that the nation's democracy is under threat as a result of out-of-control 'heated' debates and said it's made worse by the spread of disinformation online.'How can a democracy function if we can't talk to one another and if we can't disagree kindly, with respect for one another's differences and different points of view?' Gorsuch asked
How about shutting your cowardly pie-holes... How about saying something REALLY brave and stand up for honest elections... you quivering quaking bunch of cowardly Quislings!

Apparently they are so insulated and isolated that they only watch tv news and social media. Do they have NO clue that the 75 million of us who voted for Trump are NOT out here getting in rumbles, but we are being as tolerant as humanly possible to our friends, family and co-workers who lean left? We have no time to scream and shout because we are working every day, paying our bills, taking care of our families, improving ourselves, and being grateful to be citizens of this great country? And even if they only watch tv - compare Fox and CNN and tell me who's lying and inciting? GOSH, this is discouraging. Slip sliding away.

They should be telling this to the administration and congressional critters who seem to be instigating every incident.

Was that the way Abortion was decided? How about California Referendum against same sex marriage? And guys on girls soccer teams. And 3rd world invading the State borders? I hope the Dems put 15 more judges on your bench. And Trump can add another 20.

Those that followed the Supine Court are not listening anymore. They've fouled their lofty nest.
Those that never did listen riot and destroy before a mute, biased and emasculated media.

The supremes could end this tomorrow by removing the protection their predecessors gave the news media against libel lawsuits. It is not really a problem of social media - these businesses have seen to that with their monopolistic evil. No, it is much more due to the unfettered freedom of the MSM to lie about conservative Republicans without fear of consequences.

I suspect the justices' discussion was devoid of partisan perspective and focused on the need for civil discourse. I also suspect the Daily Mail supplied the examples, all anti-Trump. Nothing about the Russian hoax, a rogue FBI, one-sided social media, the death of journalism with the deliberate stifling of the conservative perspective.

Screw them, we have a cheating, lying, America-hating POTUS and a congress who thinks that we are one huge ATM machine and should behave ourselves and shut up. Is this middle finger civil enough for you?

The ones losing the “discussion”, the Left, continue with untruths before finally becoming exasperated pull the racism card. There can’t be civility with them.

The Supreme Court could have stood for the law, and been brave enough to stop this sham of a stolen election. They punted.
Now they want to lecture us on "playing nice"?!?!?!?!?
For some strange reason the initials "F" and "Y" have seemed to have come up in my vocabulary more in the last 6 months than in the 62 years I lived before that!!!

Talk to each other and disagree kindly? We're not even allowed to talk to each other, we get banned from all the platforms for speaking the truth.

You mean like the conversation between Dan Bongino and Geraldo Rivera last night on the Hannity show? I enjoyed the heated exchange, particularly given the fact that Rivera had said that Bongino was a "name caller." Then Rivera, during the last fifteen seconds or so called Bongino an SOB and a "punk." Classical projection. I love it!!

That is not true. Democracy is under threat because a clique of communists have taken over the government, and are using force to impose their views on how people should live, despite not living that way themselves.

Excuse me?! You two shallow morons! Where have you been? The Left shouts down conservatives at college campuses regularly. We try our level best to be civil. The Left strong arms people they don't agree with out of jobs. The Left is torching buildings, killing people, maiming people, looting. And these two Injustices are basically saying, "Why can't we all just get along?"
Gheez. They get paid a lot of money to be stupid.

Hey, you're the Supreme Court of the United States. We don't want your civility lectures. We want you to decide the tough cases. Instead, you lecture, then punt on the tough cases that could affect our nation forever.
We won't listen to you if we can't respect you.

Democracy is not under threat. Democracy does not exist. We are a Republic.
I'm surprised Gorsuch is so ignorant. The Wise Sluttina, no surprise there.
Get rid of the federal judiciary. Un-elected, un-accountable, un-American.
