Dear Senator Durbin I am a British Army Veteran and I am deeply concerned by the actions of the US Supreme Court following their recent ruling, providing aid and comfort and additional powers to a criminal Ex - President. The actions of the US Supreme Court stretch far beyond the borders of the US. I fear for the future of NATO and World Peace. Thank your Sir for raising this issue in your parliament. The world is watching and praying for this matter to be resolved quickly.
As opposed to the bot that replied to you earlier, I can assure you that REAL Americans do NOT want trump because REAL Americans DO NOT WANT A DICTATOR.
Our CONSTITUTION for 250 years STATED that NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW, EVEN A PRESIDENT OR FORMER PRESIDENT; especially for those that HAD COMMITTED CRIMES OR FRAUD!
And the constitution has stated that official acts enjoy immunity!! you're just mad because a conservative court won't rubber stamp your traitorous, Marxist agenda! go copulate with yourself.
@nonaboccalupo7733 we the people wanted roe v wade to stay by 70%+ and you think the people's vote will get them rights? You sound like a fool who hasn't taken the time to understand no politician will help you unless they benefit and both parties benefit from your fear.
Please tell me or all of us who the judge or judges are they have no business in Russia and or should completely disclose if only a vacation....radical disrespectful, greedy, political preference beyond our constitution n laws....term limits, ethnic rules and more judges the method of appointment must be beyond political party.. McConnell n the federalist n billionaires are the rulers if the judges not the legislative bodies...
Well said, Senator! It’s beyond time to take a stand against this unethical tyranny. It’s been extremely disheartening as an American woman to watch our leaders feign powerlessness & impotence in the face of extreme corruption, so it’s good to finally see some members of congress take a stand. America is watching, and we certainly won’t forget who took action and who didn’t come election time.
High Crimes and misdemeanors, that means everything. There, scholars, fixed it for ya! The founders made it obvious. Washington just doesn't want to know it!
Excellent speech Senator Durbin I hope Americans are listening. The Supreme court will change all Americans lives for many decades if they are not stopped
Only in our neighborhoods. Can we drop the pretension that MAGA is “conservative”? Any reasonable person can see that MAGA is behaving like a radical extremist domestic terrorist faction, not unlike the Taliban, only in our neighborhoods.

SCROTUS (Supreme Court Republicans of the United States) have handed a gift to President Biden as long as POTUS has the balls to use it. We the People urge President Biden to use these powers to the fullest extent possible to ensure that the threats to Democracy and the threats to national security are completely mitigated. MAGA is a threat to the viability of the United States as a nation of laws and the idea that no one is above the law including the POTUS.
And here it is Folks, the only response we will see from Senate Judicatory leader. Sen Durbin will cry and whine on and on and do nothing. WE can all take great comfort that he found the fortitude in himself to send a letter 11 years ago. Outrageous "do your job senator!!!!"
OK Ladies and Gentlemen, Roll Up, Roll up! The Supreme Court is for sale! Who'll give me one million? - Two million ? Four million Mr. Crow?! Thank you very much sir, you have just bought Clarence Thomas
If Thomas and Alito are not investigated by Ethics and Tax...we ,the little folks will always be lower,second class ..the judges are not above the law...are they?
It has taken much too long to bring these issues into the light of day. The result of this delay hasn’t been a tendency to make what appears to be politically affiliated decisions, but a blatant rush to overrun Constitutional tenets that have been followed in this country for more than two centuries. No one is above the law, not in the United States. Congress bears much responsibility for failing to honor another Constitutional mandate: each of the three branches of government will exert checks and balances as to the other branches.
Mr. Durban, as a retired worker here in Massachusetts. I’ve been very concerned about what’s going on with the justices and the highest court of the land that’s called the Supreme Court. I believe the Congress, who put them there in the first place should ask for them to step down, you discuss for million dollars worth of travel that they took as bribery, yes, we are concerned with that and some of the other things you are not disclose yet. I believe these justices are corrupted and they need to be removed out of the Supreme Court and we need to close the court down. We have plenty of courts that can facilitate what we need to be referring to them. Extremely concerning of disappointing, but not surprising for these justices to misuse and abuse their power.. that’s not what they were sent there to do‼️‼️
The question is when are you going to do something you keep sitting on your hands. Take a page from Mitch, grow some balls and take action instead talking us to into a coma 😡
In my job, I have to sign yearly a disclosure and oath not to accept gifts from clients. If I do, I lose my job and my professional license. The people who think they are untouchable by law in our government can only come to one end ....at the hands of the people.

@@AlphaDogToo Both he and Duckworth are useless! They are my Senators and won't even return my emails concerning this matter. They'll talk a good game, but in the end they'll both pull a disappearing act.
@@user-bc6ok1yh4s They don’t really want to hold them accountable. They’re hoping we give up and go away so they can get back to the business of pleasing their donors.
@@AlphaDogToo Yep.
Bravo!!!!??? 🇺🇲⚖️
Great speech here Sir! Glad to see this.👍👍👍 No more 🤡's!
Nobody, No one, No man, no woman, is above the law regardless of their position!
And after 11 years of sitting on his hands, Durbin now speaks out? Come on Dick, GROW A SET!
The timing is indeed rather suspect. It is the popular issue right now.
There needs to be impeachments!
Please keep investigating this. I am proud of you! Thank you! Tina Emmett from PDX.
Idi*tic rules by Supreme Idi*ts!!!
Wonderful. Very to the point. VOTE BLUE 💙💙💙💙💙💙
@@mindygoddard8355 Using colors as a way to characterize people is rooted in RACISM. It’s foolish to speak on terms of party lines. We need better thinkers than vote white. Both sides are corrupt since the implementation of Citizens United. That’s when politicians saw the court make it legal to accept bribes from the rich 1% to get elected and pass some horrible laws and even caused deaths as a result of lobbying powers. All this since 2010. A decade of corruption got us this government. Trump belongs in jail and Joe in an institution. We need our First Woman President Kamala Harris to start doing something or she is next on the voting chopping block with Joe. I rather vote Bernie or AOC over the mess we have now.
Immediately, the very first day of the next congress, there needs to be legislation introduced to add 4 more justices to the SC. Ones that have ZERO connections to the Federalist Society or Heritage Foundation.
Thank you for standing up and saying something finally!
I'm a new citizen to your state, and this makes me proud to be one of your constituents.
What a mess you have allowed to happen to America.
Excellent speech. Methodical and well presented. And right.
We are not being too critical of the SCOTUS! Everyone else has to be honest. They should too!
Good speech. Now what are you going to do about it? I’d say it’s time to investigate these justices and their multiple conflicts of interest
Well, vote to get them out of their now Stand up Democrats
SHAME ON SCOTUS.
Expand the Supreme Court 🙏 Add Supremes to restore balance BEFORE November!
Thank you for speaking out Senator Durbin.
"Upended our Constitutional landscape" isn't the primal scream of outrage the Majority's treason should evoke.
It gives a GREEN LIGHT FOR THE SC TO CONTINUE TO COMMIT CRIMES ‼️‼️‼️
no it doesnt el stoop ed
As one of your constitutes, I support you 💯 Sen. Durbin!
💪🇺🇸🌊💙
Please continue with vigor
Vote blue it’s what we must do to be true💙🇱🇷🙏💙🇱🇷🙏💙❤️🙏💕

DO SOMETHING!
STOP WITH THE MISTER NICE GUY ACT!
Expand the court now!!!!!!
Please do so about this. It’s ridiculous that they get away it
Ha, ha, ha, they need to be held responsible.
Thank you Senator!
None of this is breaking news Dick. The question is what are you doing about it? Bluster be gone, let's see some action already. By the way, I voted for you. I can tell you that the time for talking is over. What I can't say is why you aren't doing something about it.
SCROTUS (Supreme Court Republicans of the United States) have handed a gift to President Biden as long as POTUS has the balls to use it. We the People urge President Biden to use these powers to the fullest extent possible to ensure that the threats to Democracy and the threats to national security are completely mitigated. MAGA is a threat to the viability of the United States as a nation of laws and the idea that no one is above the law including the POTUS.
Has nmo one in these comments been keeping up with the news? AOC has brought articles of impeachment against Thomas and Alito.
Too late. The McConnell Court has just ruled that bribery ( as long as the $$$ is paid AFTERr the grift has been done) is constitutional.
And here it is Folks, the only response we will see from Senate Judicatory leader. Sen Durbin will cry and whine on and on and do nothing. WE can all take great comfort that he found the fortitude in himself to send a letter 11 years ago. Outrageous "do your job senator!!!!"
OK Ladies and Gentlemen,
Roll Up, Roll up! The Supreme Court is for sale!
Who'll give me one million? - Two million ?
Four million Mr. Crow?! Thank you very much sir, you have just bought Clarence Thomas
If Thomas and Alito are not investigated by Ethics and Tax...we ,the little folks will always be lower,second class ..the judges are not above the law...are they?
It has taken much too long to bring these issues into the light of day. The result of this delay hasn’t been a tendency to make what appears to be politically affiliated decisions, but a blatant rush to overrun Constitutional tenets that have been followed in this country for more than two centuries. No one is above the law, not in the United States. Congress bears much responsibility for failing to honor another Constitutional mandate: each of the three branches of government will exert checks and balances as to the other branches.
On Point! Thank you Mr Durbin.
Mr. Durban, as a retired worker here in Massachusetts. I’ve been very concerned about what’s going on with the justices and the highest court of the land that’s called the Supreme Court. I believe the Congress, who put them there in the first place should ask for them to step down, you discuss for million dollars worth of travel that they took as bribery, yes, we are concerned with that and some of the other things you are not disclose yet. I believe these justices are corrupted and they need to be removed out of the Supreme Court and we need to close the court down. We have plenty of courts that can facilitate what we need to be referring to them. Extremely concerning of disappointing, but not surprising for these justices to misuse and abuse their power.. that’s not what they were sent there to do‼️‼️
The question is when are you going to do something you keep sitting on your hands. Take a page from Mitch, grow some balls and take action instead talking us to into a coma 😡
In my job, I have to sign yearly a disclosure and oath not to accept gifts from clients. If I do, I lose my job and my professional license. The people who think they are untouchable by law in our government can only come to one end ....at the hands of the people.
