@murshedz Any word on who introduced that proviso? And can it be made to apply to spouses of House speakers?
@toxtethogrady Haven't seen that information yet. Will be on the lookout and I will share it if I see it.

You can find the clearly unconstitutional provision Jane’s referring to, which would keep the identity of #SCOTUS spouses’ employers secret, on p. 2544 of the 4,408-page bill

@murshedz @toxtethogrady
I'm not a lawyer, and i just skimmed, but it looks like there's an exception for facts that are relevant to a news article, which would be the case for a story regarding corruption.
---
EXCEPTIONS.—Clause (i) shall not apply ... if the information is relevant to and displayed as part of a news story, commentary, editorial, or other speech on a matter of public concern;

@mcpinson @murshedz @toxtethogrady Does this exception apply to Ginni? Thus her involvement will be scrutinized?
@Mallulady @mcpinson @murshedz It's nice and murky. Murky enough that this Supreme Court will play havoc with it...
@murshedz Time for Thomas to go. I don't care if it's by impeachment and removal or a steinway landing on him and sending him to valhalla with chopsticks playing away on his piano key teeth. At this point, I'll take whatever we can get. Holy shit.
@murshedz
America is a failed state.

@murshedz this is about ratfucking legislating. Dems add stuff to this must-pass legislation, too

This is a ReTHUG counter move

Dems added a rider for Marijuana banking, for example. And this absolutely critical bill also includes an omnibus spending bill that covers Ukraine support, disaster assistance, Medicare & medicaid funding renewals, flood insurance & other <s> pointless expenditures of public funds </sarcasm>

Rs just want this to be alot harder

IOW, just another Wednesday in D.C.

@murshedz it's an illegitimate institution anyway, who cares
@murshedz @RepCasten this isn’t super… I’m sure you’re aware though.

@murshedz @[email protected] @[email protected]

Senator, this is unethical and a get out of jail card for one individual. That's not in the "no one is above the law" concept enshrined in the Constitution.

@murshedz I cannot wait for Sen Whitehouse to take over Judiciary…. Now Ginny Thomas’ activities are to be shielded as in the interest of “National Security “

@murshedz @SleepyCatten That doesn't appear to be what the rider says:

https://rollcall.com/2022/12/07/judicial-security-measure-catches-ride-on-defense-policy-bill/

This would allow judges' personal information to be taken off the Internet, but it makes no reference to spouses whatsoever.

Judicial security measure catches ride on defense policy bill - Roll Call

A provision allowing federal judges to have personal information scrubbed from the internet was included in a must-pass defense policy bill.

@murshedz Barking up the right tree; follow the money.
@murshedz Why do they keep insisting on putting privileged people above the law!? Stop it!
@murshedz This out and the ban on Schedule F back in...
@murshedz let’s be clear…Republicans put this amendment in to cover for Thomas. Be careful what you wish for!
#SCOTUS #politics
@murshedz fuck uncle Thomas and his corrupt pos wife
@murshedz utter BS - the Roberts Court has already gone too far
@murshedz is there a source on this? newspaper?

@murshedz
"(2) AUTHORITY.—The respective chief judge for judges described in subparagraphs (B), (C), and (D) of section 5934(b)(2) shall have the same authority as the Director under this paragraph for at-risk individuals in their courts or their immediate family members."

Absolute Power... It's essentially like Humpty stating the documents he took were declassified - why - because he said so. 🤔 😜

@murshedz I smell a cover up for SCOTUS activists and their spouses.
@murshedz called Durbin and Duckworth. Sounds like people are blowing up their phone lines today.
