justice neil gorsuch, whose seat on the supreme court was procedurally stolen by a republican senator mitch mcconnell, who stole it away from president obama's constitutional right to appoint a justice, held the seat open long enough so that donald trump could put neil gorsuch's in that seat. neil gorsuch, who should be embarrassed every time he takes his seat on the supreme court, joined in the invented scenario of every president being prosecuted by the administration of his or her successor forever in the future. even though that has only happened to one president, which proves that the one president those republican justices care about is donald trump. they repeatedly tried to say that their entire concern was focused on the future, imaginary presidents, all of whom would appoint attorneys general who would become prosecutorial abusers of former presidents. samuel alito declared from the bench of the supreme court of the united states that the grand jury system in america does not work. it is one thing for flippant pendants on tv to use them overdone clichid phrase about grand jur
