This is how the Left will try and take out SCOTUS
Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett all committed perjury during their confirmation hearings. Here’s a thought: charge them with perjury and see where it goes. Why the fuck not at this point?

The justice is lied under oath when they said Roe was settled precedent. Impeach them.

Dear Supreme Court justices who, when during your confirmation hearings, said Roe was settled law and now are going to overturn it…wasn't that lying under oath…also know as purjury?
Impeach these lawbreaking liars.#DemVoice1

The “Ginsburg Rule” was a rule of the Senate that prohibited Senators from asking a judicial nominee how they would rule on a specific case.
Like all norms that intent fairness in our system, the Left destroyed it.
They found away around the Ginsburg Rule when it came to Roe, asking if nominees thought it was “settled law,” i.e., implying that the nominee would not decide to overturn it.
Senate Democrats wanted to protect Roe at all costs.
Now this is the tool they will try and use to destroy the Court.
This is more than a bunch of randos saying this, major media talking heads and even politicians have said this on TV.
The Left wants to know exactly how a Justice will rule, even if they can’t block a nominee, they want a fail safe to impeach a Justice of they rule against the Left.
Remember, norms and rules are the tools they use to hold us back from advancing while they break them to gain power.
