Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*

They don't give their opinion to the media

They don't criticize how SCOTUS works

This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks

I hope this means end of the killing and hardship in Gaza.

But, you have Netanyahu who vowed to eliminate Hamas. I haven’t heard anything from the extremist in his cabinet who are always vocal. And Kushner is involved. 🤔

If Republicans can casually ignore precedent, so can Democrats.

Speaker Johnson has no right to stop duly elected representatives from taking office.

Call a press conference on the capitol steps, and swear in Democratic Representative-Elect Adelita Grijalva - NOW.
