2035: Ginni Thomas declares herself to be new federal judiciary after all justices go missing in her basement. Opposition calls for Bob Mueller to have unfettered access to said basement "so as to ensure that his inconclusive investigation is conclusive." — PolitiTweet.org

@anjali_deodhar Because the Republicans have chosen this and believe in it. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
2029: SuperJustice Thomas writes for a 12-3 majority that all cases will now be heard in his living room, with Ginni instructing justices how to vote. If you don't go along, you will be locked in the basement until the next case. Opposition calls for strong turnout in midterms. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
2026: Justice Thomas writes for a 6-3 majority that he will have seven votes from now on and would like to be called SuperJustice. Opposition puts out statement urging "SuperJustice Thomas only to use seven votes in 'appropriate' situations." — PolitiTweet.org

OK but what if he said "I'm sorry" and agreed to donate 1 percent of all stolen votes to Democrats? — PolitiTweet.org

I'm curious, Democrats. If you don't think failing to recuse yourself from a case implicating your wife in a seditious conspiracy warrants resigning, what is your threshold for resignation? Genuinely curious how you draw the line. — PolitiTweet.org

Please respond to this thread tagging members of Congress who have called for Justice Thomas' resignation. And source. Please don't reply otherwise. Trying to see something. — PolitiTweet.org

Recusal is voluntary. Voluntary virtue cannot be the solution to corruption in defense of sedition and insurrection. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
I still disagree profoundly that this is anything like a solution. But you deserve to hear their thinking and be the judge of how much of a response is enough of a response. — PolitiTweet.org

"Ketanji Brown Jackson said she would recuse from the Harvard case," the Wyden spokesperson said. "Stephen Breyer recuses from any case involving his brother who is a district judge. Recusal is a tangible thing Supreme Court justices do fairly regularly." — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
And @AshleySchapitl went on: "Of course I understand people's frustration, but tactically we think this is the best way to have some success. Like I said, recusal made a real difference during the Russia investigation. Jeff Sessions was never going to resign until he was fired." — PolitiTweet.org

This has been quite a ride. — PolitiTweet.org

Oh man. Update on the update. I'm now told that the "We do" referred to me and them thinking differently about the issue. Not to my question about a resignation statement. So there is no resignation statement coming. Gotcha. — PolitiTweet.org

She continued: "If you have a plan to get him to resign or be successfully impeached, I’m all ears. Our thinking is that getting him out of the 2024 election is where we could have success." — PolitiTweet.org

@K_Kreul What prevents stating the maximum? — PolitiTweet.org

This is bringing a knife to a gunfight and giving the guy with the gun your knife. — PolitiTweet.org

@RonWyden At some point, you accept that the Republicans are a proto-fascist authoritarian party. You're not going to shame them out of it. All that's left is for pro-democracy forces to have some sense of spine, some sense of strategy, some sense of message, and to fight. Or: over. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
Please, @RonWyden. Think about it. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
Imagine instead having the courage to call for a resignation or impeachment. Imagine announcing in a statement that you're leading a march on the court to make that position clear. Imagine calling for a Senate investigation. Recusal? My god. My god. My god. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
I mean, I'm sorry. If this is the Democratic position after this scandal, then, you know what, you're freeing the Republicans to do whatever to your democracy. Recusal. Really? Recusal? — PolitiTweet.org

We are teaching our children that if you work to render the planet uninhabitable or try to end free elections, you will walk -- but that if you sleep on the street or steal a loaf of bread or cross a border to escape violence against your family, the law will come for you. — PolitiTweet.org

The treacherous, we know who they are. The only hope is to defeat them. But the timid — this will be a defining struggle. If the timid in many spheres of American public life don’t find their bravery soon, the treacherous will have it. The keys to the car will be theirs. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
The current American crisis is a collaboration of the treacherous and the timid: people who would do anything to gain power at the country’s expense, and, facing them, people who would do nothing to stop them if they feared it would break decorum or make others think them unfair. — PolitiTweet.org
