It truly is an abomination how their thinly veiled interpretations of the laws can be so malleable in order to give a middle finger to the majority of Americans. There aren’t enough guard rails for this highway to hell. The destruction of this egregious ruling will have dire consequences for millions of people, just like citizens united. Facts be damned! The chamber of horrors has become a water carrier for the fundamentalist right wing as a their bully pulpit, spewing tainted ideology straight from the river Styx. Supreme Christian Orthodoxy Thrust Upon Society!
For generations, the Supreme Court has held itself up as the impartial final arbiters of justice in America. In reality, it's been as corrupt and partisan as the day is long. Making matters worse is that a seat on the Court is a lifetime sinecure and removal is virtually impossible. Clarence Thomas cases could hear cases naked and it would still be difficult to remove him.
Ginni Thomas should be behind bars and her husband may well be open to one or more RICO indictments, if Merrick Garland would simply do his damned job.
Impartial justice? Not as long as the Supreme Court is constituted in the manner it is. Change is sorely needed, but change is exactly what we won't get.
"Justices hold office as long as they choose to and can only be removed from office by impeachment." -- That is not obviously true. The Constitution does not specify actions of impeachment against Justices as it does against the President. So it is actually possible and within the scope of the law (not that Merrick Garland would ever entertain the abstract possibility of crawling off of his sniveling ass and actually fulfill his oath) for a Justice to be criminally indicted by a Grand Jury. As an officer of the court, if Ginni expressed any of her seditious conspiracy plans to him, he is no longer protected by the "sanctity of marriage" and is open to RICO indictments.
Obviously this will never happen, not least because Garland won't do jack shit ever. Still, it is amusing to imagine the domestic scene where Uncle Thomas is given the choice of resigning or having his wife indicted on Federal charges, and he then refuses.
So we are stuck with Justice Uncle Thomas for the foreseeable.

Same page politics. That's you and me, brother. So glad to know you.
Backatcha. 😁

Unfortunately, we are running out of time on those potential RICO indictments. At least, if the GOP gets the midterms.
