Justice Thomas’ refusal to recuse himself at this morning’s Trump immunity hearing marks another historic low in the high court’s ethics. His moral decay infects the entire Court. It demonstrates the need for a code of ethics mandated by Congress w/a real enforcement mechanism.

No longer primarily a jurist, but a far-right ideologue who is using his positon to help an autocracy come into being. This is how he will be seen later.

God bless you, KBJ! Now asking why the President alone gets to break the law when everyone else with difficult consequential jobs has to make their decisions against the backdrop of possible criminal prosecution.

@MikeSacksEsq All my law school knowledge about constitutional law went out the window a while ago.

KBJ going even harder into the delay tactics, says this case isn't even the right vehicle to hammer out what acts are immune and what aren't because nothing Trump's been charged with doing even falls within his immunity claim.

KBJ, against further delay: "I didn't understand us having to drill down on which official acts do [get immunity] so why isn't it enough...to just answer the question of whether all official acts get immunity?"

These args didn't have to be this long, and somehow they also have talked about everything except the best way to decide this specific case

Brett Kavanaugh, who was part of the independent counsel team who investigated Bill Clinton, is concerned about the regime of special counsels that may investigate future presidents. nytimes.com/2018/08/20/us/…

The game here is DELAY, to send the case back to the lower court to decide which acts are official and which are not. That way, the immunity questions will take up all the time before the election. SCOTUS would demean itself to further this ploy. #StopTheStall.

It is encouraging though to see how much Justice Alito is concerned with the potential for prosecutors to overcharge a criminal defendant. I am sure this will become a hallmark of his jurisprudence going forward.

Clarence Thomas hearing Trump's immunity case, when his wife Ginni was directly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, tells you everything you need to know about the Supreme Court's new code of "ethics." It's a sham.

Something that drives me a little insane, I'll admit, is that Trump's OWN LAWYERS at his impeachment told the Senators to vote not to convict him BECAUSE he could be prosucuted if it came to that. Now they're arguing that the only way he could be prosecuted is if they convicted.

Alito is indicting a criminal justice system when it comes to Trump that he defends when it comes to every other criminal defendant. He’s such a bad faith actor.

This is America--the founders were clear--we have NO KING!! There is NO absolute power vested in Article II for the presidency. To argue that any President should be granted full immunity for personal or official acts is just anathema to the Founder's clear intent. #SCOTUS

I'm struck, again, that SCOTUS could have easily dismissed this Trump argument in December because it was as stupid then as it is now, but they've let it get this far to help Trump get to the election.

I see the internet is unimpressed with Dreeben but that's being a little unfair. The Republican justices want to do this, there's nothing that Dreeben could say to stop them. What he *could* be doing was making their hypocrisy more clear for the non-legal media following along.

Kavanaugh... who WORKED FOR KEN STARR... is basically saying that Jack Smith is politically motivated and his appoint in unconstitutional. It's... maddening. And most of the media reports will not even point out this hypocrisy.

I'm going to keep listening because it is my literal job, but this is pretty much in the bag for Trump at this point. Remand to DC Circuit for decision on "official acts" and whether organizing a coup is one. After November, if Trump loses, SCOTUS will return to the issue.
