As Sarah Longwell pointed out in a podcast yesterday, Alito has MAGA brain rot. That's pretty harsh from her, but also accurate. Amazing that we have a man with such low caliber reasoning skills on our highest court; his analogy would flunk him out of the SATs.

I wonder if Alito hasn’t been spending too much time with the Thomases. The Republicans on the bench really seem to be allergic to all things J6. I wonder if they aren’t protecting Ginni as well as Trump. Alito’s tortured logic would be an embarrassment to him if he weren’t so desperate to provide cover.
Sisters-in-Law podcast floated the theory that Thomas and Alito are doing everything they can to assure they can retire soon under a Republican president.
That's probably a good possibility, and it doesn't necessarily negate my speculation. But in any event, Alito and Thomas are displaying ample evidence as to why they should retire.
I just don't think he/they are "reasoning" for us. They're reasoning for their intended audience - setting up a "plausible" excuse for doing what they want to instead of what's right. I'm still in hopes it doesn't go all the way south but it's the obvious disregard for how they appear to us (democrats, voters) that gives me forebodings. Playing to the MAGAt base, small in proportion to the population as they are, implies some power over the court.
They are throwing the worst out and seeing how much people will fight back. They expect us to cave. After all, they have done their worst, time and again.
It really pisses me off that the MSM is just la de da about the plan to let chump off the hook. I think they are brain dead, or blinded by the green. I'm sure it's the latter
... and yet explained by Trump's stated intent to poke holes in it when he's back in office. They view the Constitution as a multi-tool: Strict adherence to the letter when it suits them, ignore it when it doesn't.

They deserve to be removed from the Court. A congressman could go to jail for the moves Thomas and Alito have made.
Why would they retire, they rule, Dems and Repubs, and everything in between
They don't want to be a MAGA RBG and leave an open chair for a Dem to fill.
God, that would be the unforgivable sin.
or not be investigated
Retire? Why? They believe they are gods protected by the 50 perpetual read state senators!
He is not capable of embarrassment.
He knew exactly what he was doing. They are laughing their arses off at those of us who have given them the benefit of the doubt.

I agree. They look at their desired outcome and twist the law and the Constitution into knots to justify it.

lawyers do this and catch a fair number of fish
Trash fish, yes, my fisherman husband said there is such a thing. Just like there are trash humans, apparently.
Official acts “…about that million dollars” for the hypothetical ambassadorship

buying their oversight committees seems to be the wave of the very rich, and those scrambling to become part of the 1%
Seems like a lot of fools think they will be the 1% , 50% idiots is more like it.
The radical justices' lack of adherence to the Constitution is mind boggling.
... and yet explained by Trump's stated intent to poke holes in it when he's back in office. They view the Constitution as a multi-tool: Strict adherence to the letter when it suits them, ignore it when it doesn't.
Maga brain rot resides in Clarence and Neil G, too! The handmaiden has her own demons buzzing in her ‘tete’!
