Lying Under Oath To Congress is a Crime
And at least three of the five conservative SCOTUS judges did it, on tape
The leaked Alito opinion on overturning Roe v. Wade is real. Let’s get that out of the way. And let’s not get into the pro/cons of abortion. I think my readers know my opinion and you are entitled to yours. I think there is a far worse underlying problem here that destroys the credibility of the nation’s highest court.
If, as is generally thought, the five justice conservative majority of the court all vote to overturn Roe, all five will have committed perjury, on video and the record, most while under legally binding oaths to Congress during confirmation hearings.
This is a crime and these are the highest judges in the land.
We know the court is political. Pretending otherwise is ridiculous. But, until now, it has attempted to at least appear to respect the law above and beyond their own political beliefs. Yet, this memo implies they are going to renege on their earlier testimony that Roe is highly established settled law with strong follow-up decisions.
We have watched the minority leader of the House deny taped records of him saying he would ask Trump to resign after January sixth 2021. He lied and we know it. These justices lied and we now know it.
