He was just getting some friendly advice from his friends on the court. Nothing to see here.

The head of the exec branch calling an exec employee is your whataboutism? Lol. Couldn't you think of a better comparison? You got a 'Biden called the judge in Hunter's case'? That would be more comparable to this situation.

This is a politics board, and there will always be whataboutisms to deflect and ad hominems for anyone that post something that rubs people the wrong way. And yes, nobody cares about principles when it's 'their guy'. Congrats…were all hypocrites, and America is in decline because we're all in on team politics.

..."in decline" because politicians/bureaucrats are "on the take" more so than ever before AND there are no evident consequences for their corruption. It's "go to Washington"..."come home incredibly wealthy" and it has nothing to do with their legitimate compensation.

America is in decline due to liberalism, from both parties. It naturally leads to failure.

As to Alito/Trump...."Ok. And?".

I realize that TDS had libs foaming at the mouth so much they tried impeaching Trump over a phone call, so you REEEEEEEEEi'ing over this call is expected.

But, the rest of the world sees nothing wrong with this.

Have a nice day.

I don't think leftists understand that what they do has consequences. In the last 4 years, Joe Biden has literally made pedophilia, hookers, and blow in the White House a non-sequitur in politics. You jumped the shark, now there IS no such thing as "reason for concern" anymore.

He probably would have called one of the DEI hires on the court, but they're too stupid to understand the situation.

So, um let me guess....You believe Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch spoke about grandchildren and the weather on the tarmac? as another poster pointed out, why is it that all you do is come here with all these "we got 'em" thread starters focused on only one end of the political spectrum? Why have you never come to break the news to the rest of us on examples A through ZZ of impropriety from the other side of the things the last few years? You are seriously calling out team politics in your post? That's rich, because you are clearly one team's biggest cheerleader.

.....calling an exec employee....
Which exec employee was called by Trump?

Surely you aren't referring to Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito as an exec employee. Isn't Justice Alito in another branch of our government?

The current president picked a supreme court justice explicitly because she is a black woman who willingly violates her oath to uphold the Constitution. Think about that for a minute. That's not a nothingburger appearance of impropriety as suggested by the OP between Trump and Alito.

Not a fan of this. Didn't like the tango on the tarmac between Bill and Loretta and don't like this one either.

There are back channel communications available.

Prosecutors can talk to the president. He is their boss.

Trump should not be talking to a Justice when he has matters pending. He also should not have asked about his qualifications to serve. Both conversations are unethical.

Special Counsels are different than just a run of the mill US Attorney. Granted, POTUS does have authority to fire even Special Counsels, as we saw when Nixon fired Archibald Cox. After that, the Independent Counsel statute forbid that but that statute was sunsetted. However the tradition of independent/special counsels since then is that POTUS does not exercise control over them out of an appearance of impropriety.

What is off of the rails under Biden was the use of state and local prosecutors to attack political enemies, i.e. Trump. Sending senior members of the DOJ to not only assist, but to be in the courtrooms with an active role. POTUS is not within those state officers' chain of command.

I wonder if they also discussed the possibility of Alito retiring so Trump can put a younger justice on the bench? Wouldn't surprise me if similar conversations are happening with Thomas.

Sounds like there is indeed nothing to see here. Two adults speaking to each other and then disclosing it to the public. Oh the horror.

Convos with Thomas can take place in a lower profile setting. Thomas and Ginny go to Florida often to see their son who lives near Daytona. (Not sure where but Steve Gosney is good friends with the son.)

More about Trump having a pending petition before SCOTUS at the moment regarding staying Merchan's planned sentencing tomorrow. Granted, that petition is directed to Sotomayor as the AJ having supervisory authotrity over the Second Circuit but court watchers expect her to bring in the rest of the Court.

Same as an ex parte communication. That is the issue here, at least for me.
