Now THIS is a case where I expect nothing whatsoever to happen. Thomas and his wife have been breaking the law (not to mention committing ethics breaches) for decades with not even a slap on the wrist.

Clarence Thomas’ Mom Definitely Still Lives in the House the Billionaire Bought

We were there just a couple of weeks ago.

Clarence Thomas has a mother who is STILL ALIVE!? She must be like the African American version of Mr. Burns’ mother!

Edit- Slightly more reasonable when I find out Clarence Thomas is only 74. I would have guessed he was 5-10 years older. I guess evil ages.

Huh. They actually did the right thing. Or at least not the wrong thing which is good for this court.

One step forward, three steps back.

They struck down the student loan forgiveness bill.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

They WANT an uneducated, debt laden, and burdened populace. They WANT cheap labor that's too dumb to understand how hard they're being fucked.

Hari Kondabolu has a great bit related to that about how modern conservatives are more like the Khmer Rouge than the Nazis.

American political system is so racist that even the bogeymen have to be white. SMDH.

I take no pleasure in reporting that Ken Burns is canceled.

NYT: Upside-Down Flag Seen Outside Alitoâs Home in Jan. 2021, a Symbol Used by Election Deniers

In other Supreme Court news, The New York Times is reporting an upside-down U.S. flag, which is a symbol used by Trump supporters and election deniers, hung outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito in January 2021, just days before Biden’s inauguration. The revelations are expected...

Quick reminder that nothing will happen and like Clarence Thomas, he won't face any consequences

I love that Alito's defense is basically that his wife is psycho, and that the neighbor's version kind of backs it up.

The Alitos and Roberts discuss politically sensitive topics in secret recordings by liberal activist | CNN Politics

A left-wing activist released secret recordings of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, his wife and Chief Justice John Roberts discussing a range of topics.

[snuffbox]

I'm sure the "left wing media" handwringing has already begun in defense of civility or whatever for the Alitos.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

his wife is fucking nuts. I don't think Roberts comes across badly from the audio that's been reported.

Another bad week for Jingus.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

And they basically nuked the administrative state. These seem to be the "activist judges" the right was always railing on about, but I haven't heard a peep from them lately. Huh, so odd.

Peace out SEC, EPA, et al.

It won't go anywhere, the article even says it's likely DOA and I'm positive it's a stunt for re-election, but these are the times I really love AOC.

I'm positive it's a stunt for re-election, but these are the times I really love AOC.

Stunts like this she might win her district by 50% instead of 40%!

 

[BruiserBrody]

She will be of age to run for Prez in 4 years if the Bernie Bros need a Smoke show candidate

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

She is already of age to run for POTUS. Age minimum is 35.

 

[Fall of Epic]

She definitely will try sooner rather than later. Wouldn't surprise me if 2028 is the year.

 

[BruiserBrody]

She is already of age to run for POTUS. Age minimum is 35.

I discounted her trying to run heel on Biden this year.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Chances of AOC being a serious POTUS candidate in 2028 are about as high as me and Brody releasing a sex tape.

 

[snuffbox]

I have no problem with Ocasio-Cortez running for president, in 2028 or whenever. Of course the impeachment articles aren't going anywhere but, imo, Alito and Thomas should at least be exposed a bit for their corruption and anti-American philosophies.
