Thomas and Alito are over ready to retire… such a scheme!!

The fact that migrant toddlers are "representing themselves" in immigration court literally gives me nightmares. Who the fuck are we?

@booker.senate.gov and I just tried to force a vote to allow the prosecutor who blew the whistle on Emil Bove to appear before the Judiciary Committee.
