Senate Democrats threw out the rules of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday in order to launch an unprecedented attack on the United States Supreme Court. More specifically, on conservative justices and their friends.
For months Chairman Dick Durbin and Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse have been trying to issue subpoenas to longtime conservative activists Leonard Leo and billionaire Harlon Crow. Leo and Crow, both private individuals, are also friends to Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
Earlier this month, Durbin briefly backed off his conquest to subpoena Leo and Crow. Today, he blatantly disregarded Senate process and voted to do just that.

Our ever stern Pubbies said they had upto 150 subpoenas ready to launch against Dem donors if this happened. We'll see if that comes to fruition...

It's like 1984! The Congress is more coequal than the Supreme Court.

Not a smart move when Donald Trump’s lawsuits will be making their way to SCOTUS, sooner rather than later.

Zero Supreme Court justices will resign over a Durbin witch hunt. Nor will they be impeached. Durbin is embarrassing himself.

He (She) who is without sin (or any slight appearance of impropriety) can cast the first stone.
Keep the subpoenas nearby. And don't reveal the contents.
Who knew that the Republican Congress critters could also hold a trump card.

Durbin and Whitehouse have Both been in Congress long enough to have TONS of Dirt to use against them! Maybe Republicans can get off their Lazy Rear Ends and start digging! My guess Durbin has taken more Money under the Table. Money than any Justice could ever dream about taking! Use this against them. Do they have a Mistress, go to Strip Joints or been to Epstein's Island? There has to be a Treasure of Dirt on Both of these guys! Use it!

It's all coming to a head. Communists like Little Dickie Durbin are all out of the closet now. This is an outright full frontal assault on our democracy, our republic, our country. The battle lines are now drawn. This is all in preparation of the 2024 election.There is not one democrat in the whole of congress who is a true American. Pathetic.

Dustbin and Outhouse are both Marxists on a mission, a fool's errand to test the limits of our Constitutional framework, ensconced within our society over 250 years ago. Spineless Senate Republicans, like Turtle, will allow them to trash our Judicial Branch just because they don't like the center-right aspect of the current Supreme Court. Just how do they think Republicans felt for over 60 years under the then, leftwing Court? They don't care about anything but themselves. They know that Liberalism is a losing proposition in this country, but continue to "import" the ignorant masses from south of our border in hopes of changing the demographics of the nation to be more to their liking. Disgusting cretins these Demonrats.

You know democrats are deadly serious about the total transformation of this country when they go after the Supreme Court. Although the Court has been feckless in the fight against the creeping Marxism that is threatening our Republic, a direct assault is something new. Democrats have take the mark off now and boldly move toward their total transformation. It’s out there. We all see it and if they succeed in 2024, we will fall into a very dark place where government will be your master. When they talk like Marxists and act like Marxists, they are Marxists. Follow that to its logical conclusion and you will find forced tyranny because it is their goal. They have crossed the Rubicon and they know there is no going back. They have abandoned the Republic and seek to impose their will on every American which is forced submission. We have one chance to derail them on Election Day 2024.

Little Dick Durtbin and Shelly the Smelly Outhouse seem to forget that the Supreme Court of the United States of America is a CO-EQUAL branch of our federal government. As such their overreach will backfire when push comes to shove. We the People must not let this stand. The time is NOW to get involved to make sure that democrats like the two jack wagons listed here and others thrown out of office. That definitely includes the withering dimwitted clod occupying the People's House.

They are laying the foundation so whenfurther more importantissues come before the SCOTUS they can ignore their verdicts. Does the conviction of DJT come to mind?

Maybe if Chief Wimp Roberts had a spine - - and cracked down on the lawless FISA court - - and cracked down on lawless election fraud - - and countless other commie lawlessness which is swirling all around him - - maybe then Deanna Durbin and his toadie fellow traveler would back off.
Gutlessness never pays - - especially when dealing with vicious commies.

But you have to give the Dems in Congress credit - they are ruthless and will use every and tool to attack their political opposition while Republicans even when they are in control are too busy fussing over George Santos or listening to Mitt Romney issue his inane comments about character.

I hear the attorneys for the Amalgamated Bubohood of Boils, Melanomas, Carbuncles, and Zits are suing Durbin and Whitehouse for defaming their members by the comparison.

Who came up with this bright idea? SCOTUS judges are appointed for life. Some have more life than others. Wish I could remember the Ldotter's child who inquired about the man wearing earrings. A happy thought among all the really unhappy ones over the past few years.
