“We’re The Supreme Court, Bitches!”

Religious liberty is under attack in many places because it is dangerous to those who want to hold complete power," Alito said. "It also probably grows out of something dark and deep in the human DNA -- a tendency to distrust and dislike people who are not like ourselves," he added.
One wonders if Alito recognizes those words include him. In Christian doctrine we call that recognition “humility.” In Christianity, it is a key basis for religious liberty.
If over time, the court loses all connection with the public and with public sentiment, that is a dangerous thing for a democracy," liberal Justice Elena Kagan told an audience in Montana last week, when asked generally about what a court can do to increase public confidence. 
"I think people are rightly suspicious if one justice leaves the court or dies and another justice takes his or her place and all of a sudden the law changes," Kagan added. "It's like: what's going on here? That doesn't seem like law."
No, it doesn’t seem like the law at all. Besides, how many Justices does Congress have? P.S. There is no leak investigation. If there was, what could be done? Sacrifice a clerk? Fire a staff member? Even if the Senate gains three Democrats, would this be an impeachable offense for which Manchin and Sinema would remove a Justice? Signs point to “No.”
