There are no risks and no downsides to the behavior of the SCOTUS judges, starting but not ending with Clarence Thomas.
Ask yourself, if you did some paperwork and got massive financial rewards and zero risks, zero downsides, would you do it again? Would you do twice as much of it?
Well, they run the risk of catching some high velocity lead poisoning if they keep this shit up too much longer.
Not likely. The right is far more likely to assassinate a judge.
There are a lot of armed liberals and progressives. They’re just a lot quieter about it.
By that, they mean that everyone will freak out as SCOTUS violates all of the “ethics” that they clearly no longer have while continuing to do absolutely nothing about it.
There is not currently a peaceful solution to this problem. The public is scared to break the seal on violence, and I'm not sure the left will ever break such a seal.
Anything shy of an overwhelming trifecta in November will be a loss, as we will need that leverage to fix this broken court.
And you can bet that there's a hell of a lot more we don't know about.
kavanaugh with a few 100k for the baseball ticket stuff, right?
Does it count if before he became one
Is it a gratuity?
I'm surprised that it's only 4 mil to sellout a country.
Supreme Court ethics remain at center stage
So the stage is completely empty.
Serious question: can we do a kickstarter with the express purpose of outright bribing the Supreme Court justices who are clearly bribable to be, like, not massive antidemocratic fascist assholes? It might work for Thomas, but it also could potentially work for Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Roberts.
Sorry, that’s illegal. You have to do the kickstarter after the decision comes out
They do? I thought we were still caught up ragging on Biden for being born in 1942.
