MSNBC Legal Analyst Lays Out Wild Conspiracy Theory About Trump, the Supreme Court, and ‘Republican Hegemony Over This Country’
"Progressive legal commentator Elie Mystal described a sweeping, decades-long effort of Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices to help elect Republican presidents so they could retire into the sunset on MSNBC Wednesday night.
Mystal spun the tale after being prompted by Alex Wagner, who praised him for “rightly” arguing that the justices have “vested interests” in the reelection of Donald Trump.
“Clarence Thomas doesn’t want to die on that court, and he’s getting old, and he’s never going to retire during a Democratic president. So Clarence Thomas, one of the reasons why he’s not recusing himself, is that Clarence Thomas needs Trump to win again so Clarence Thomas can retire,” began Mystal. “And most likely, Sam Alito needs Trump to win again so Alito can retire instead of having to die on the bench. And so that’s at least two of the nine who have a vested professional interest in seeing continued Republican hegemony over this country.”"
