Corruption in the SCOTUS

When they did their internal investigation on the Dobbs leak and came up with nothing (which makes you think it was 100% one of the justices), you know they cant police themselves. That Roberts takes it personal when people question the court's legitimacy makes it even funnier (or sadder). A vile institution unmoored from accountability and the law itself.

 

apparently they are only accountable to their tribe. the checks and balances within our systems have collapsed with the rise of the tribal allegiances above the allegiances to the constitution.

 

I believe they are subject to impeachment but with our tribal loyalties, impeachment is no longer a valid tool. Another gift from the great orange god, increased polarization neutralizing the system of checks and balances set up to control our worst tendencies.

 

He knows he’s untouchable..

 

The Thomas' are just so abjectly full of shit:

Why Justice Thomas Loves Wal-Mart

 

And Abe Fortas resigned from the Supreme Court under threat of impeachment for a whole lot less than the Thomas' have profited.

Abe Fortas resigns from Supreme Court, May 15, 1969

 

A fine example to follow-- he is lifetime appointed to a court that interprets our nations laws all the while taking lavish trips with a mega political doner. I'm sure he has not been influenced.
A good example of what I have been saying for a while now, washington is a cesspool of spendthrift politicians that are only concerned about their own wellbeing while the rest of us are grubbing out a living.

 

The republicans in the 70s had the guts and integrity to impeach Nixon. What the republicans are now is unrecognizable? There is no honor there is no integrity. They don’t care that their leader pays off prostitutes that he slept with. They excuse all. It’s sad.

 

Nixon maybe?

 

Sad thing is none of this is explicitly illegal for SCOTUS (as far as I know). But most other justices tried to maintain a modicum of respectability on such matters. Thomas doesn’t even try. He flaunts it.

 

How do you pack the court with a split congress, and is that really any less partisan and unhealthy than what Thomas has done? And when does court packing end in this environment. Blink and we'll have 21 justices.

The simple fact is that the R's have been smarter at SCOTUS than the D's the past 50 years. Biden could have derailed Thomas and didn't.

 

Meanwhile Puffs brand D’s nominate 50/50’s like Garland, who just gets GTFOH’d anyway.

It’s no wonder D’s need +7M votes to squeak out a win. They are goofy amateur hour at this game.

 

more like the R's (McConnell) manipulated the rules to prevent two appointments that would have been on the liberal side. if you want to call that smart, that's fine, but I'll call it manipulative. No idea why the dems allowed it to happen but not educated enough on the procedural hijinks that was involved in preventing the votes and why dems didn't or couldn't do the same

 

Seems like McD played the game better.
Not saying it was right but sadly that’s how politics has been since the day of politics.

 

R’s were willing to do things D’s weren’t, because they know demographics are shifting away from them, and the court is their way of holding onto power.

It needs reform badly.

 

Looks like a hunting trip to west texas may be in order.
