A New York Times investigation revealed that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was brought access to the wealthy through relationships he built with members of the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans.
And nothing will continue to happen since for some reason the Supreme Court is running rampantly unchecked.
It’s like the founders figured that because they have lifetime appointments, they’d be free from corruption and political influence.
But lifetime appointments just means there’s so much more time for companies and rich people to influence the justices actions with repeated donations.
Not some reason. Republicans control the House and are a single accident away from control of the Senate.
They are complicit.
The majority of them are in on it, so of course there won’t be anything done. The amount of corruption is through the roof after being left unchecked for so long.
I have to ask, is anyone surprised?
the real question is ‘will anyone do anything about it?’
The real question is will Republicans do anything about it. Dems would impeach in a second, but there’s no way Republicans will turn against him. He could shoot someone on 5th Ave and they’d defend him.
The real question is will Republicans do anything about it.
Hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaahahajaha lololol0101010!!!
Or were you serious? In which case, refer to the above line a few more times.
They’re all busy trying to figure out how to get their own piece, fucking scumbags. Even if any of them did have a shred of integrity, they wouldn’t dare go against the cult.
I’m mostly objecting to the false equivalence of “will ANYONE do anything about it”. Obviously they won’t!
There’s no real question, though.
Absolutely not.
This whole self-reporting thing doesn’t seem to be working out so well, tbh.
Also doesn’t help when you have bad-faith actors, like Thomas.
It’s almost like we need checks and balances.
Which of course only matters when they’re not all in on it.
Ofc he did. Watch Born Rich (2003) and The Family (Netflix) get to know rich culture and how bad we’re getting lied too and then do something about it. Using your voice and speaking up is perfectly fine.
Get out, asshole
Now there’s someone who could stand to be first through the door at a Michigan GOP meeting
It’s so creepy
