Does the Senate judicial committee have subpoena power over SC justices? Could they bring them in to question them about a case decision?

Astonished, not at all. Elections are state matters up until the republicans don’t get what they want.

They like and preach small and local government right up until they find it advantageous to impose their will using that bad big government.

To set a precedent on voter suppression. Now they call it precedent when judges acted with no integrity?Thomas did not request himself. Hard to use the word justice after citizens United and the voting rights act.How many have lied under oath?
