The fact that you are, even indirectly, defending that steaming sack of shit Thomas-and, for that matter Raper Boy (Kavanaugh in this instance, not tRump), shows what SCUM you are. Anyway, enjoy the slow motion buggering of Blubber Boy, bitch. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::103625367:103625367:103625367:+cops-2+::+cops-2+::+cops-2+::highfive::highfive::highfive::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::lock2::lock2::lock2::hung::hung::hung:


Supreme Court’s ability to police itself ‘has already proven to be false’ Elie Mystal says​



Hey lowlife delinquent

Have a seat on this one with your outrage about ethics.

I can’t imagine what this place would be ― I can’t imagine what the country would be ― with Donald Trump as our president,” Ginsburg told The New York Times in an article published Sunday. “For the country, it could be four years. For the court, it could be ― I don’t even want to contemplate that.

That tracks a comment she made in a separate interview with The Associated Press, when the justice stopped short of noting she’d rather have presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton making future appointments to the Supreme Court.

“I don’t want to think about that possibility,” Ginsburg said when asked to consider Trump in the role of appointer-in-chief.

WTF IS THIS, YOU STUPID PRICK?????? You appear to have cherry picked a portion of an article, and, for some strange reason, you chose NOT to identify the source, over and above that the article claims to be quoting RBG's opinion of Blubber Boy. Even if you revealed the source, are you saying that RBG giving her opinion of your Fuhrer was in any way, shape, or fashion equivalent to the all the "play for pay" shit that's coming out on practically every Republican appointed SCOTUS judge??????? Are you REALLY that fucking stupid?????? What am I saying, look who I'm addressing, of COURSE you're that stupid! Show me where you got this supposed article, and, more importantly, how RBG having a low opinion of the Worst Presdient of All Time-which any rationale, objective person would have, IMO-is in even the same GALAXY as Clarence Thomas' shit, you stupid fucking cunt., otherwise, go FUCK yourself, then crawl under the kitchen sink where you can whimper and lick your balls in private over the slow but steady demise of SCUMBOY, Bitch.


Did you and Road SCUM swap spit or something? It's uncanny how fucking stupid you two are. NAZI Steve normally just posts lies, from what I've seen, he rarely tries to pretend that he knows what he is talking about and/or give an explanation, but YOU, actually try to "make a point," which almost ALWAYS blows up in your face.

Fucking moron...

All 11 Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have sent a letter filled with questions for Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. Earlier this week, Roberts said that he would not be attending a hearing to answer questions about the ethical/legal problems of Clarence Thomas, but that was prior to more information coming out about both Thomas and Neil Gorsuch. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

This transcript was generated by a third-party transcription software company, so please excuse any typos. Democrats in the Senate. In fact, all 11 Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee are not happy with Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, excuse for not coming in and talking to them about the blatant corruption of Justices Clarence Thomas. And of course, as we learned this week, Neil Gorsuch. And so these 11 Democrats sent a letter with some questions that they would like John Roberts to answer. Basically saying like, if you're not gonna come in here and answer our questions, perhaps you'd prefer to do it from the comfort of your own home, and you can write them down and just send them back at your leisure. But the reason the Democrats are doing this is because in his rejection letter that he sent to the Senate where he is like, yeah, I'm not coming in, he mentioned something that has actually raised a lot of questions with those Democrats in the Senate. He said, Hey, listen, there's a code of ethics for the lower courts, not for the Supreme Court, but I, I assure you, you know our Supreme Court like we subscribe to that as well. Now, if you subscribe to something, just so everybody knows, like you can cancel a subscription at any time. So that's not actually what the Democrats wanted to say, but I just wanted to point that out because he didn't say we, we strongly adhere to them. We go by that same code. He say, we subscribe to it too, you know, until it's inconvenient. And then we just unsubscribe. So the Democrats shut back in the letter saying this, the statement of principles raises more questions than it resolves. And we request that you respond to several key questions. For example, if you go by the same code of ethics that the lower federal courts have to go through, quote, what is the consequence, if any, for a sitting justice who does not respond as appropriate to such a letter of inquiry? So they're not even trying to like put it on Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, the like. All right, if you subscribe to that code of ethics, right? You do know that if we send a letter of inquiry to these folks, they're legally obligated to respond to it. And we've sent a letter of inquiry to you. So you tell us what happens to those lower court judges when they don't answer the questions. I think that's pre, like, that's a gut punch. That was pretty good. Look, I'm hard on Democrats, rightfully so, but I gotta tell you, putting that out there in the ether, being like, all right, tough guy, you adhere to this code of ethics. What happens to those guys? If we ask them questions and they don't answer? Yeah, they get in trouble. But why don't you tell us that? Cuz you said you follow the same rules. And thereby, if you do not answer that question, then we're going to assume that you're gonna hold yourself to the same standard that those other Judges would be held to if they refuse to answer questions from US. Senators pretty big Gotcha question there. Another question is, uh, what types of penalties have been or may be imposed? Is there a process by which the public may file and the Supreme Court may receive complaints that a justice has failed to abide by these principles? The Democrats, again, to their credit, they're kind of going pretty hard against this guy. And I love it because the public needs this. John Roberts is an absolute coward for not showing up in front of that Senate and answering those questions. Now, the s uh uh, the Supreme Court is not like the Senate.

How is that cornering of Roberts working out ?

See how easy that was? That doesn't change my SECOND point, which, I noticed that you carefully avoided responding to: go on the record, you fucking idiot, and "enlighten" me on how a SCOTUS judge's opinion-expressed one time in an interview-is anywhere CLOSE to Clarence Thomas being on the take for TWENTY YEARS, and hiding that fact. For you to even MAKE that comparison shows, just how fucking stupid you are-not to mention, desperate. YOU keep stroking it to the notion that your Fuhrer is gonna get outta all of this: he's gonna get BUTT fucked in the Carroll case in about a week, he and his brain dead brats have until 5/15/23 to comply under oath by orders issued by the SAME judge who BUTT fucked him to the tune of 110k in this same case; he is gonna be INDICTED in Georgia between July and September; he'll be prosecuted with THIRTY-FOUR FELONY CHARGES in several months, and, last but not least, today's multiple guilty convictions only amps up the likelihood that Jumpin' Jack Smith is gonna pound that Trumpian ass, ass, ass, with apologies to the Stones-and all you can do is put on a brave face and be DEAD wrong like you've been for years, you fat, funky, blubbery, welching tub of goo, DUMBO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :arrowhead :arrowhead :arrowhead :hung: :hung: :hung: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :103625367 :103625367 :103625367 :highfive: :highfive: :highfive: :trio: :trio: :trio: :lock2: :lock2: :lock2: :tongue0015::tongue0015::tongue0015::+cops-2+::+cops-2+::+cops-2+:

You can ask till you grow a foot long dong, Welching Blubber Boy: You're the record that an single, solitary opinion on a candidate is a greater violation than SEVERAL bought-and-paid for judges, nice TRY, Dipshiht. And, keep stroking it to the notion that your Fuhrer is gonna get outta all of this: he's gonna get BUTT fucked in the Carroll case in about a week, he and his brain dead brats have until 5/15/23 to comply under oath by orders issued by the SAME judge who BUTT fucked him to the tune of 110k in this same case; he is gonna be INDICTED in Georgia between July and September; he'll be prosecuted with THIRTY-FOUR FELONY CHARGES in several months, and, last but not least, today's multiple guilty convictions only amps up the likelihood that Jumpin' Jack Smith is gonna pound that Trumpian ass, ass, ass, with apologies to the Stones-and all you can do is put on a brave face and be DEAD wrong like you've been for years, you fat, funky, blubbery, welching tub of goo, DUMBO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :arrowhead :arrowhead :arrowhead :hung: :hung: :hung: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :103625367 :103625367 :103625367 :highfive: :highfive: :highfive: :trio: :trio: :trio: :lock2: :lock2: :lock2: :tongue0015::tongue0015::tongue0015::+cops-2+::+cops-2+::+cops-2+:

How Democrats can get SCOTUS in line—without the Judiciary Committee

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is a one-man scandal mill, increasingly exposing Chief Justice John Roberts for the chump he is by the day. Roberts isn’t just covering up for Thomas. He has failed to disclose income and recuse himself from cases, stemming from his prominent spouse’s work. Justice Amy Coney Barrett also has some spousal conflict issues, and Justices Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito aren’t immune from conflict of interest concerns. In short, the Supreme Court’s conservatives are undermining the Supreme Court’s legitimacy.
Despite these recent revelations, Roberts refused to talk to the Senate Judiciary Committee about the blatant ethics abuses and he denied that there’s even a problem on the court, which is not bound by the same code of conduct that the rest of the federal judiciary has to honor. That’s not a problem for Roberts or for Republicans, but it is for Senate Democrats looking for ways to flex their check-and-balance muscles over the court.

Roberts had to know there were more shoes to drop in the seemingly endless Thomas-Crow affair. ProPublica delivers, with a new story alleging that the Texas billionaire and big GOP donor paid at least several years of private school tuition for Thomas’ ward, a grandnephew he took in at age 6. That’s on top of the lavish gifts, yachting trips, and private jet flights—and the fact that Crow is Thomas’ mother’s landlord, gifting her free rent after buying the home from Thomas. You know that Thomas knows how stinky all that largesse from Crow is by the fact that he kept it all secret, failing to disclose any of it. Even when he was declaring another $5,000 gift from someone else to pay for his nephew’s education, Thomas was keeping his sugar daddy Crow a secret.
But as long as Sen. Dianne Feinstein remains absent because of a health problem, Sen. Dick Durbin’s Judiciary Committee is stymied from doing anything about it. So Democrats on other committees are stepping up, and they’re starting where it counts: the power of the purse. The court operates on funds approved and provided by Congress, which gives Congress the power to make demands.

By signing this petition you may receive periodic updates on offers and activism opportunities from one or more of the following: Daily Kos. You may unsubscribe at any time. Here's our privacy policy. Terms here.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen says he’s looking “at all the options” for imposing reforms on the court. The Maryland Democrat chairs the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Subcommittee, the one in charge of the Supreme Court budget. Fifteen of Van Hollen’s Democratic colleagues, including six who sit on the Judiciary Committee, wrote to him at the end of March—even before some of the blockbuster stories about Thomas broke—asking him to withhold $10 million of the court’s funding unless it adopted an ethics code.
The demand is not an unusual one. Federal courts have ruled that “it is completely appropriate and proper for the legislative branch to use the power of the purse to influence the other branches in doing what they ought to be doing.” It happens all the time with the executive branch, and the co-equal judicial branch isn’t an exception.
That’s one avenue Senate Democrats can use for exposing the problem at the court—the problem Roberts refuses to acknowledge—but it’s not the only path. Sen. Ron Wyden, who chairs the Finance Committee, opened another. He asked Thomas’ patron, Harlan Crow, for a detailed accounting of all the gifts, travel, and real estate deals he’s provided Thomas.
Wyden’s committee oversees the Internal Revenue Service, and that’s the implicit threat behind his request: The court might not require that Thomas disclose all these gifts, but the tax code “provides no such exceptions for transfers of a gratuitous or personal nature.” Congress can get those tax records to find out if Crow is following tax law. While Wyden didn’t explicitly make that threat or open an official investigation, he has the power to do it.
The slim majority Democrats have in the Senate—even slimmer without Feinstein’s vote—makes it harder for them to act. But every time they threaten to use their power, it puts Republicans on the defensive.
It’s a good tactic, and it’s working. Here’s Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn's admission that there’s a problem with the lavish gifts Thomas accepted:
“Well, that's why I say that I think the Court would do well to consider this experience in coming up with perhaps some additional reforms, but this is not something, an appropriate role for Congress.”
It’s weak, but it’s movement. He’s no longer denying that the court has a problem. That’s why Democrats have to keep up the drumbeat.
