hmm... I have meetings with people at my work - from home... behind closed doors in my house.. Or... is that not possible in your view?
If they were at your house why did you need to Zoom?

Let’s assume, for the sake of the aluminum foil contingent, that SCOTUS met. Even if they had a lively debate, what would make anyone think that all nine would lock step simply on orders from Justice Roberts?

The justices were each in private rooms, behind closed doors

One's staffer heard his yelling through those walls & doors

Not what the "article" claimed:


Hal, as you know I am a clerk for one of the Justices on SCOTUS. Today was like nothing we have ever seen. The justices are arguing loudly behind closed doors.

The Justices met in a closed and sealed room, as is standard.

Usually it is very calm, however today we could hear screaming all the way down the hall.

They met in person, because they didn’t trust telephonic meeting as secure.

Why are you making this up?

You keep buying into the lie long after it has been debunked.... why?

I can certainly understand our govmts' concerns about a hostile reaction if justice holds true and President Trump continues on into his rightful 2nd term. Look at what the extremists have done for the past 4 yrs against against a sitting President of the US! It is, or at least was, unfathomable before all of the sabotages, slander, fake news, and general open hostilities, including those riots which were a faction of the liberal agenda. But now, I am ashamed to mention what the citizenry of our great nation are now capable and willing to do. Marshall Law has its place. In combat if a subordinate refuses to obey a lawful order he or she can and should be shot dead for treason as others follow if they get away with it and the mission (possibly saving thousands of lives or even ending the war) has a very high risk of or will fail.

But our govmnt should never balk at such but maintain governing control, however, and do what is right and just. Apparently, courage and righteousness is a rare characteristic of our govmnt officials these days.

No excuse for falling for nonsense like the OP's articles without so much as a second look.

2 Thessalonians 2:11 -- Seeing so many Christians fall for the little delusions hook, line, and sinker makes it pretty clear how few of them will be on the right side when the big one they're expecting finally comes along...

Meaning.... the OP is nonsense.

I know, they have the temerity of vote our current president out. The horror.

Summary execution is not something practiced in the US military. Also neither disobeying orders nor cowardice are classed as treason under the code of military justice. Though you could get your dreamt of executions as cowardice can be a capital offense but there is still the matter of a trial.

How do you know what the OP posted isn't true?
Once again: The SCOTUS has not met together in person for some time now due to the Covid19 pandemic. It was impossible for them to be together behind closed doors because they have not been together closed doors or not.

Don't worry, this lie will fade out, and be replaced by the lie that they overheard them in a video conference.

The old Trump maxim applies: "If at first your lie is shown to be false, change it slightly, and repeat it louder."

And Roberts was what, shouting through the wall?

Aside from the obvious issues with their not being co-located for several months, another element to not pass the sniff test is the notion that a lawyer clerking for a SCOTUS justice - arguably one of the most coveted early-career legal positions in the country would risk such a position by blabbing something like this to, of all people, a wackjob like Hal Turner.

NY Times? WaPo? Politico? NPR? Sure. Maybe even Fox.

But a holocaust denier who did two years in federal prison for threatening to kill a few judges?

I doubt it.

There are other people besides me in my house, in the report on the internet there is someone clerking for one of the justices that is reporting that information. I don't know the details for how they are holding the meeting, but I know that at home I have closed doors during meetings where I don't want noise from someone else in the house interfering with the online meeting I am in.

I don't consider what I do "impossible" to happen.
