    I’m old enough to remember when the voters demanded that public servants resigned for things like not paying taxes on householdbworkers. Nowadays, we look the other way for literal mansions and yachts.

    What happened?

    Still, as Whitehouse told the New York Times, it could mark the “beginning” of the foundation for actual bipartisan action: “You have to start somewhere,” Whitehouse argued. “The more information that comes out about the mischief going on at the Supreme Court, the more inevitable it becomes that they come around to agreeing we have to do something.”

    Dude gives congressional republicans waaaaaaaaay too much credit.

    Cool we know, it has been exposed… nothing will happen. These people are above the law, they act like it and there is no recourse when the regime will not prosecute criminals within their rank.

    Starting to look like USSR… looks like corruption is not limited to degenerate communism after all. So much for free market will save us all.

    PS. I am wondering what made @TooTallSol down vote this post tho…

    and? once you’re approved by Congress to chair the Supreme Court, you’re there forever or until poor health forces you to step down.

    Thomas has nothing to worry about other than age
