The Supreme Court justice used wealthy connections through the Horatio Alger Association, a scholarship organization, to benefit himself and his wife.
Must be nice to be openly corrupt and not have any consequences.
I know right. It’s like the meme of “nothing ever happens” but for real. People get fired for having weed in their piss and this dude is manipulating a whole country based on who gives him the most money
Guy from the Navy came for a demonstration and he wouldn’t let us buy him a McDonald’s cheeseburger.
Meanwhile at work I can’t take a gift over five dollars and if I get like a box of chocolate I leave it in the break room.
Amazing how much integrity you must show is inverse to the amount of damages not showing it will cause.
I wish I was surprised. What a sham court
And we’re stuck with it for the foreseeable future.
And I blame those that didn’t vote in 2016.
The greatest harm isn’t even in the actions of the court itself, but it is in the undermining of institutions and confidence in a just system even further.
I got a bogus moving violation ticket in a ghetto. Decided to fight it. Watched as minority after minority got their ass handed to them in traffic court. Cops are super rude about everything. Few months later I get jury duty. Hispanic man accused of a violent crime…ok yeah. I have already seen how the sausage is made.
Now I didn’t get picked they had enough before they even got to me but I admit I would be very disinclined to take the justice systems word. Maybe that is the wrong attitude to have. Just because the justice system is very very imperfect doesn’t mean that there is no crime.
Everytime the justice system does something like this. Mistreats minorities or the poor, refuses to go after the powerful it weakens it’s authority. And we are all worse off.
I mean I assumed what we found out wasn’t the end of his corruption and I assume this isn’t either. I don’t trust him so I’ll never know. He needs to be impeached.
These guys have no shame.

So…why is no one dealing with all the corruption coming out?
Because they police themselves
At this point just investigate the entire SCOTUS and let the cards fall where they may. If all need removed when the dust settles, so be it.
brandon must declare this session illegitimate and do the cases again after he’s removed
he has the power, he can just say it. andrew jackson just did what he wanted didn’t he
More reasons we need to end lobbying and update disclosure rules to include anything they didn’t buy themselves.
These “justices” are a national disgrace and make a mockery of our justice system. They must be impeached and removed and ethics and honor restored. (This requires a 2/3 vote in the Senate which is unlikely to happen since many senators are equally corrupt and need to be removed as well.)
yeah bruh the repub sc is illegitimate and openly corrupt. fuck ‘em.
Shocking. Just absolutely shocking!
/s in case that needs to be stated.
And here I thought he slept in his camper in Walmart parking lots like he told us. Could it be that a Supreme Court justice actually lives a life of luxury?!
In another universe, Anita Hill went on to become president after 1991
