I'm old enough to remember when the voters demanded that public servants resigned for things like not paying taxes on householdbworkers. Nowadays, we look the other way for literal mansions and yachts.
What happened?
Nixon happened. It’s been downhill ever since.
Still, as Whitehouse told the New York Times, it could mark the “beginning” of the foundation for actual bipartisan action: “You have to start somewhere,” Whitehouse argued. “The more information that comes out about the mischief going on at the Supreme Court, the more inevitable it becomes that they come around to agreeing we have to do something.”
Dude gives congressional republicans waaaaaaaaay too much credit.
Cool we know, it has been exposed... nothing will happen. These people are above the law, they act like it and there is no recourse when the regime will not prosecute criminals within their rank.
Starting to look like USSR... looks like corruption is not limited to degenerate communism after all. So much for free market will save us all.
PS. I am wondering what made @TooTallSol down vote this post tho...
and? once you're approved by Congress to chair the Supreme Court, you're there forever or until poor health forces you to step down.
Thomas has nothing to worry about other than age

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!
