This is what corruption looks like. Thomas and Alito are unethical human garbage and don't deserve to be on the highest court.
None of the federalist society "judges" deserve to be on the court, but here we are...
It's one thing to disagree politically, it's another to take bribes and lie about it or cover it up.
Multiple justices lying under oath somehow doesn’t disqualify them. Ridiculous
Republicans see no problem with these massive gifts and Jared getting $2 Billion, but if Hunter Biden made a dollar they’re all over it.
Geez. Making the Supreme Court is like winning the lottery.
There are literally less than 10 seats in the world. So yeah its literally 1 in a billion.
Yeah, but you have to be highly qualified to get one of those seats, not just any Joe Schmo ... lol just kidding. Imagine having to be qualified to decide matters of life and death!
In the US
Naw. The Lottery isn't rigged toward Catholics.
I'm seriously sick of hearing about this shitbag when no one is ever going to do a damn thing about it.
If it stays in the media, hopefully he will become a pariah. Roberts still holds on to this idea that his court should be seen as legitimate and respected, and Thomas is undermining that more than anyone.
Not that I'm holding my breath over it.
Politicians are just used car salesmen with great healthcare
To be fair, he's a Supreme Court justice, not just a politician
I think in this case that’s a distinction without a difference.
I once read that empires spreading their religion and culture through force was a not the most effective or common method. The way it usually worked was that once conquering foreigners became the elites in society, people in proximity to the elite would adopt the culture of their superiors, to fit in. Once a critical mass of elites and their subordinates adopting a foreign culture/religion was reached, it spread throughout society like a trend.
Anyway the point I'm trying to make is the power of proximity to the elite is enough to overrule a person's whole identity. Anybody who's close to a a social climber will recognize how this works.
There are confirmation hearings and supposed investigations before these judges were appointed. Whoever did the investigation failed and should be fired as well as their bosses.
Don’t tell anyone about Bernie Sanders’s media corp.
Well, apparently you're not going to, so the comment isn't very useful, is it?
The "friend"? Referring to a criminal engaging in bribery of a Justice as his "friend" is journalistic malpractice.
