Must be nice to be openly corrupt and not have any consequences.
politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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.
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.
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.)
So...why is no one dealing with all the corruption coming out?
Because they police themselves
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
An oft-repeated admonition in legal circles is that lawyers should avoid even so much as the appearance of impropriety. And that's before taking the bench. Any suggestion that any of this was done unknowingly is preposterous.
In another universe, Anita Hill went on to become president after 1991
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?!
If Biden wanted an excuse to stack the court then this is it.
Shocking. Just absolutely shocking!
/s in case that needs to be stated.
