    Not to be an optimistic dumbass but feels a little like the floodgates might be opening here

    nothing will be done but still, opening some eyes to the SCOTUS nonsense can only help

    Fuck I don’t care if they replace every single SCOTUS justice. Fuck everyone of those assholes. The left leaning ones know people like Clarence should be thrown in a woodchipper and they choose decorum instead. Fuck them too.

    Going to eventually reach a point where Democrats are going to be forced into commenting and maybe even doing something! Course they have to locate Feinstein first.

    Nothing will happen. There’s no political recourse other than impeachment (which won’t happen) and I’m sure there’s no legal recourse. These donors and societies have billions of dollars at their behest — untouchable.

    All of this coming out back to back to back is interesting to me. None of it is surprising. But why now? Like the tweet above says, it all seems like low hanging fruit. Why did it take so long for anything to come out and now it's all coming out? Feels like someone was building a folder of shit for years and someone finally allowed it to be released.

    i think a lot of it is that stories about Supreme Court justices don’t sell subscriptions and journalists in DC have spent the last ten years investigating Trump and Hillary.

    I think also you do this for 30+ years and nothing ever happens to you, you prob get lazier and lazier with covering your tracks and you get more and more reckless with the corruption. Then the flood gates open

    Were this criminal court and a judge or prosecutor, all their previous rulings/cases would be reviewed. Seems we need to re-open quite a few decisions based on this info.

    I feel like now is an excellent time for us to revisit the fact that nowhere in the constitution does it grant the Supreme Court the power of judicial review.

    The Senate Judiciary Committee conducted a hearing this week to investigate corruption in the Supreme Court. Here’s why, and it’s actually quite shocking, and deeply disappointing:
    • Justice Clarence Thomas secretly accepted luxury trips from a major GOP donor who also bought property from Clarence Thomas that he did not disclose. The GOP donor, Harlow Crow, had business before the court–Thomas did not recuse himself.


    • Thomas’ wife, Ginni, has caused a slew of conflicts-of-interest including her part in attempting to overthrow the U.S. government, side income deals, and anonymous donations.

    • Justice Brett Kavanaugh started off his SCOTUS run with 83 ethics complaints, not to mention sexual assault allegations.

    • Justice Neil Gorsuch just happened to sell off property right after his SCOTUS confirmation to a law firm with business in front of the court–Gorsuch did not recuse himself.

    • Justice Amy Coney Barrett received millions of dollars in support of her SCOTUS confirmation from a dark money group with business before the court–Coney Barrett did not recuse herself.

    • Chief Justice John Roberts, the leader of the pack, also has conflicts-of-interest stemming from his spouse, Jane, who earned millions of dollars recruiting lawyers for firms who have business before the Supreme Court–Roberts did not recuse himself from those cases.
    So what did we get out of that hearing? Yes, Congress can pass ethical standards for the Supreme Court. In fact, it is their constitutional authority to do so.

    Supreme Court Justices must be held to account for flouting the ethical rules that apply to every other judge in the country. It is Congress’ constitutional right to ensure that. And it is our right to have our highest court in the land free of corruption.

    Imagine the outrage if George Soros was funding relatives educates, buying property, and showering these judges with lavish vacations.
