We Need Supreme Court Reform with Rakim Brooks 

I keep getting unsubscribed 😠

@DemocracyDocket Ditto

Term limits is only part of the answer. The other is Professor Tribe's suggestion to appoint more Justices to the Supreme Court! Think if you limit the Supreme Court to 18 years, as suggested here, it doesn't unravel the present corruption on the Court. The only way to solve that problem is to out man them, so to speak, with the addition of other Justices to the Court. Accompanied by a written Code of Ethics that will require the Supreme Court Justices to follow the same ethical standards that every other Judge in this country is required to follow. After all, no man, or Justice for that matter, is above the law!

Absolutely. Thanks God everybody open their eyes with Thomas clearance. It takes one corrupt should take action and everybody else!!!!$@

Mostly went we see so many crooked people there ( Supreme Court ) starting with Clarence Thomas and three more.

An unfettered and unbiased SCOTUS is needed!

@@user-zd2uv3ss9z An unfettered Supreme Court is stripping American citizens of rights established by precedent, in some cases, for 50 years. Not to mention stripping away established laws that functioned as necessary guard rails that protected Americans from harmful pollution caused by large corporations. Nope, an unfettered Supreme Court is NOT what is called for during these dangerous time! They are adding to the Trumpian chaos. The worse part is that the majority of the people in this country don't want the America they are trying to birth. Arguably the corruption of Justices, such as Thomas and Alito, is in plain sight for all to see. These two men know how to butter their bread on both sides in order to live large. Thomas has a conflict of interest because his wife was front and center in trying to overturn the Biden victory and both he and Alito failed to report the monetary manna from their wealthy benefactors as did several other conservative Supreme Jurists. Now you are advocating to turn these wise-guy Justices loose? I say no way in hell!

TOTALLY AGREE. Start with term limits then enact the same guardrails & accountability of all other Judges in the country.

And, I would add, up for vote just like other judges.

right now there is not enough support in congress to do this, when dems were in control they did not take this up and you know repubs aren't goint to

20 to 25 years is enough time for any Supreme Court Justice.

@@elaineburnett5230I don’t think it should be that long, 10 is more than enough!

First, the judges go by the LAWS, NOT over rules the FACTS, the juries go by the FACTS. When a criminal such as Donald J. Trump also known as MOB Trump should be rules by the juries, not the JUDGES. When enough evidence indicates to public, court cases MUST present in court, juries will go by the facts present in court, NOT the Judge. Therefore, the SUPREME Court judges SHOULD NEVER ALLOW to get involved until the FIRST court case is COMPLETED. In recent days, most of the Supreme Court judges are SUPER BIAS, if the judges are bias, they SHOULD NOT SERVE as a judge, the judge should be in IRON FACE, it does NOT matter whom the defendant is INCLUDING he/she is part of your family members. The judge can pardon ONLY pardon when AFTER THE CASE and depends on the criminal is a complete VIOLENT, TERRORIST ACTS, or a psychopath. Do the SUPREME Court Judge(s) can identify himself or herself as HONEST as said, please ask yourself are you being BIAS, CORRUPTED or GREED, you all should know in your mind, ask ourselves to have I been STANDING in a MIDDLE PATH? The country / society is run BY THE PEOPLE, TO THE PEOPLE, NOT BY ABUSING THE POWER, and NOT as a DICTATORSHIP. I am strongly recommending all the SUPREME Judges should highly consider YOURSELF and your children, DO NOT live in IGNORANCE.

We need to go to : uscourts.gov and flood complaints about the supreme court judges and judge Cannon for protecting Trump and not giving us a NO IMMUNITY FOR TRUMP and not giving us a speedy trial for justice for us all. It's a page and half form to fill out.

As if

Congress is run by y’all’s ex 45. What makes anyone think that congress will do the right thing. & hold the SCOTUS to task? Y’all are dreaming.

YES!

I have to put the faith in the American people to vote for DEMOCRACY over dictatorship. I won't live in a dictatorship so my life depends on all the true Americans to vote for DEMOCRACY. FORMER potus is no longer an American, he needs to leave the country and take his unAmerican cult with him. Go where they want to lose their freedoms and be told what to do. They are free to leave this country if they no longer like it, good riddance. 34:58

As long as the progressive democrats are defeated, democracy will prevail. Anything short of that, no.

Agree! 100%

I have to agree with this statement! After 8 years they’re out.

​@@ricke215but with rules and regulation if they are corrupt

8 days is too long for some let alone 8 years

@@mariabarajas1047damn near everything up there is corrupt

Yes, the Supremes work the least and get paid the highest compared to other Judges!

ABSOLUTELY, even now the Ones who lied - Should be Removed for sure.

Some of them may be bias or living in ignorance.

In my opinion it should be disqualification!

I believe they’re digging into the mechanics of Leonard Leo within The Federalist Society. Keeping a watch.

Note that Federalist Society stalwart and ultraconservative Judge Luttig, thinks Trump should be disqualified. There is still hope.

TERM LIMITS, 4 years , no confidence votes

*threat not treat

Thank you, gentlemen. What an informative episode! I'll be a return listener.

Agree @donellaraya6830 that the Code of Ethics needs some enforcement mechanism at the SCOTUS level. Perhaps even just adopting what the lower courts already have in place?

They claim to have ethics guidelines now. I agree with you. There should be ethics rules with clear and severe penalties for breaking them. It should not be up to the SCOTUS to.police itself; it won't.

Abolish Citizens United

AGREED

​@@sassysaint3096 Number 1 on any list. Citizens United has poisoned this country.

You could probably buy him for anything!

Excellent point

Absolutely! Average life was 40/50 years. Now it is 100 and 110 years for average life for the Rich.

Especially remove the lose cannon in Florida!

Yes, he should have recused himself as he and Ginny are true Trumpers. And they did nothing to her! Crazy

Excellent post...very positive. Democrats must be more aggressive with our messages of the Biden administration's accomplishments and more about North Carolina's, too.

But , with term limits that just means that they have to get more corrupt in a faster time than they can leave wealthy and cause all of the chaos that they could get away with

But your SCOTUS terrifies us all!

Totally agree! They are corrupted and made to sway a certain way by money! Also people live longer - so no more that 6 to 8 years!

Rakim Brooks' point on the Senators withholding their blue slips from confirmation was eye-opening and seems like a change that might solve part of the issue. I am not sure I agree that switching out the court as rapidly as you suggest, @jeffschroeder4805, would be better; I tend to agree with Mr. Brooks that an eighteen-year term might have the salutary effect.

Totally agree with you. I tried researching the judges on my ballot and found nothing that was helpful.

For republicans it certainly is.

They just rubbing their hands together and ready to see how much money they can get. They never intended to oblige by the oath, all they saw was $$$$ signs and open market to get richer, abuse their power.
