Justice Alito is confusing a desire to reform the court with an effort to intimidate it. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
democracydocket.com
Supreme Court expansion is ‘a concerted effort to intimidate the court,' Justice Alito says
Despite Americans' eroding trust in the Supreme Court, Alito says he's not discussed growing calls for expanding the court and setting term limits.

Funny. I cannot recall any "diplomat" seeing their net worth rise by roughly 📈 $100 million to $200 million since taking the position. Yet Jared Kushner has. So, spare me any BS about his job description. It has nothing to do with diplomacy.

In important decision for separation of powers, court rules Trump cannot fire court-appointed US Attorney, which would circumvent Senate’s role of advice and consent. If Trump wants to replace him, Trump must nominate a confirmable candidate. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Judge rules Trump can’t fire court-appointed prosecutors
The ruling is a major loss for Trump’s effort to install loyalists in key positions.
