      Not enough people are pressuring their Senators.

      Click your state in this map. Dial the DC office number for each of your two Senators.

      Say:

      My name is ____, I live in ____, and I want the Senator to remove Justice Alito because his discriminatory flags make it clear that it isn’t possible for many Americans to get a fair hearing from him.

          Like every Senator, he’s tuned in to what his constituents are telling him. Having a bunch of people be pissed about this won’t get him to vote the right way, but it might get him to tune down his hate a little bit.

      He’s ’Christian’. The people in power want more of this kind of thing, not less. The fact that they can pay him to rule in their favor whenever is just icing on the cake.

        Some of them do want it, but the bulk of Democratic Senators do not. Public pressure can get them to do what they’re thinking about, but hesitant to do.

        I don’t realistically expect them to remove him from office (that would take a 2/3 majority), but do expect things like censure votes, and more openness to expanding the court.

    “Christian minded government” is just PC talk for Christofascism. I thought these assholes were against PC
