You know how when you thought a guy who wasn't asking any questions wasn't serious about his Job?

Well that mofo was serious as shit about getting benefits to live lifestyles of the rich and famous, and the law doesn't apply to him!  Welcome to The GOP Supreme Club!  Corruption is fine, pass the fine wine!

The whole episode is pretty bad for the Court.  The leak is embarrassing.  But the decision is catastrophic. You've got a 5-4 decision to get rid of a something that has been settled as a constit

Every time anyone digs even slightly into Clarence Thomas, that surface scratch turns up blatant corruption.  

Would sure be nice if the Senate would hold hearings into this scandal, because digging in depth is almost certain to reveal shocking corruption for multiple Republican "justices". They won't consistently have covered their tracks well, because they don't expect to be caught. Even if caught, they know their fellow Republicans will never hold them accountable.

This is one of the biggest scandals in US history. We all know there is no amount of corruption that would get the GQP to go along with an impeachment and that they'll scream bloody murder about even investigating, but the public needs to see the Dems fighting for us, while fighting back is still allowed.

Literally the dumbest analogy I've ever heard, and Alito said it again just a few weeks ago.

It's not a terrible analogy.  It's just that it is patently false.  The umpire's goal is to be a neutral arbiter.  The strike zone is what it is, and the ball either passes through or does not.

But Alito and Thomas are clearly backing into their decisions.  It would be as if the umpire called the strike, before the pitcher threw the ball.

And the catcher on pitchcom is koch or leo or crow. Between innings he suggests that a pitch up and in should be called a strike. So next one is.

But most umps disagreed around the league still. Until one day, there's a couple more umps bought by Leo, and maybe some others who were just sympathetic to billionaires. So over the pitchcom comes the up and in call. And those other umpires also suddenly call it a strike, citing back to that one time Umpire Thomas called it a strike to claim that this isn't something new.

It is far from clear, in other words, whether Edith Jones’s All American opinion would receive a passing grade if a law student submitted it as their final paper in a law school seminar on congressional appropriations, as it offers no meaningful evidence whatsoever for its central claim.

And yet Jones, Francisco, and several other Fifth Circuit judges would endanger the entire nation’s economy over a theory that has no basis in any legal text, and barely any support in all of the scholarship that has ever been produced by the American legal academy since the Constitution took effect in 1789.

The Supremes standing up to Alabama, love it. They’re handing the house to the Dems 

You do not defy our ruling class of unelected partisans. That’s the message. You may not like the ruling, but they have spoken.

A federal judicial rules-making panel on Tuesday agreed to examine whether to curtail "judge shopping" by state attorneys general and activists who file lawsuits challenging government policies in courthouses where a single, sympathetic judge hears most cases.

Members of the U.S. Judicial Conference's Advisory Committee on Civil Rules at a meeting in Washington, D.C., grappled with whether it could or should craft nationwide rules to ensure such cases are randomly assigned a judge, as Senate Democrats have urged it to do.

Trammel Crow was a collector of world class Asian Art, most of which is housed in his collection in downtown Dallas. His son, Harlan seems to have a fascination with collecting Negroes. There’s, Clarence, Eric Johnson and now we learn 60’s hippie Cornell West has had a decades long relationship with him. Who knew?

Senate Democrats have finally taken the first steps to address the ethics crisisrocking the Supreme Court.

The Senate Judiciary Committee announced Monday that it will seek to subpoena Republican billionaire megadonor Harlan Crow and ultraconservative activist Leonard Leo. Both men feature prominently in the ethics scandal for their relationships with Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. The committee will also seek to subpoena wealthy GOP donor Robin Arkley II.

“The Supreme Court is in an ethical crisis of its own making,” the committee said in a statement. “In order to adequately address this crisis, it is imperative that we understand the full extent of how people with interests before the Court are able to use undisclosed gifts to gain private access to the justices.”

All three men have so far either refused to cooperate with the committee’s investigation or offered to share an insufficient amount of information. The committee could authorize the subpoenas after a vote as soon as next week

If I've learned anything over the past 8 years (god dammit), it's that congressional subpoenas aren't worth the paper they are printed on.

More evidence that we undermine support and belief in our own government and its institutions.

lmfao their new ""code of ethics""" changes nothing and still leaves compliance up to each judge as an individual matter. And the court had the gall to write that they've been acting 100% ethically, and we just can't comprehend their methods.

Was waiting for this to be brought up.  The only actual solution here would be to impeach and remove Thomas and Alito AT MINIMUM.  Realistically every R judge and maybe one or two of the D ones.  Just clean it out.
