How is there not a serious ethics investigation against Justice Thomas?

[What Would Jesus Do?]

**Untaxed bribes

Good point. Can we Capone him?

Aren't there also limits on how big a gift can be without being reported? So in theory we should be able to Capone his bribers, too.

I wish Biden actually would weaponize the DoJ. I know, I know, that sounds bad, but consider the context.

What's wrong with a weaponized DoJ when you are going after actual criminals who are always attacking America?

Only criminals want a declawed DoJ.

If Thomas were a progressive judge we would be on month 18 of having 24/7 hearings in Congress. He actually probably would have been impeached a long time ago, or at least had been forced to resign.

Another good reason to take strong control of Congress.

Democrats have shown that they just suck at putting on show trials.

They act like we didn't see their behavior during the Kavanaugh confirmation.

Wrong, we all heard the stink'n conservatives lie their asses off during the confirmation process.

 

[DooBi]

Hate to imagine how much you think the Clintons are due, then...

The Clinton's are worth 120 million. How much do Senators and presidents make per year?

MAGAs don’t care. Impropriety isn’t a thing for them. They’ll turn around and talk about the moral decline of the country.

Is that the guy that sobbed like a b!tch during his job interview?

It's the guy who was a victim of vile leftist behavior and lies. I know there are a lot of those

Bullshit, HE WAS the LIAR.

Roberts is an embarrassment

That is not true at all. Most communist regimes start when the government ignores wealth inequality growing to an unsustainable amount until a bunch of people say screw it, pick up arms and take over and start killing the rich.

Someone saying we need to re-think how we do government is not the start of communism.

I have scuddy on ignore for this purpose. MAGAs ideas of communism and similar subjects are talking points dribble.

You're missing out on high tier content just FYI

Roberts is an embarrassment

If "ownership/leadership" means anything and legacy is important Roberts doesn't have control and he will have a stain on his tenure. Not only for the unpopular decisions but ethics scandals will be a lasting legacy on this Court's history.

It will parallel and reflect the Orange Turd's administration orbit's 20(+) confessions/convictions and the Court's complicity in protecting him in from prosecution by delaying processes

At this point Thomas seems to have effectively killed any remaining accountability he and his cohorts may have ever had.

This naked corruption is almost as incredible as the defense of the corruption by middle class people that will never have a household income about $150,000.

 

[CRazzle]

Because there is effectively no checks and balances on the supreme court.

There is so much wrong with how we do government we need to completely re-haul the whole thing.

Thats why McConnell made it his entire political career to stack the courts in his favor. He succeeded.

I don't think he ever anticipated someone like Trump would end up in the WH, where the lackeys he installed on the Court would run interference with someone so completely unfit for office...

Senate Democrats will seek unanimous consent tomorrow on Supreme Court ethics bill. It will not get sufficient GOP support to pass Dems say “bill would require Supreme Court justices to adopt a binding code of conduct, create a mechanism to investigate alleged violations of the code of conduct .. improve disclosure and transparency when a justice has a connection to a party or amicus before the Court”

There is no difference between Thomas and Filthy DON, both crooked as hell.

Don't forget Alito.

Harlan Crow groomed Clarence Thomas.

Hubris. He simply doesn't care. Ethics are for little people.
The alternative answer is that a highly intelligent man who parses through complex legal arguments just isn't good with details.
