The U.S. Supreme Court is a dumpster fire.

-- Supreme Court justices used personal emails for work
-- ‘burn bags’ were left open in hallways,
-- Staff afraid to confront justices on bad security practices

Here's the news story:

And the SCOTUS report: https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/19/politics/read-scotus-report-dobbs/index.html

I wonder when their emails and laptops will be confiscated for evaluation. Do we demand they step down.... or impeach them??

@lolonurse They looked at the printer logs, which apparently didn't log much.

The investigation was designed as a whitewash and shouldn't be taken seriously. More importantly, the problems with the court are not that an opinion leaked early, but that they reached an unconstitutional conclusion.

@danielschuman @lolonurse This is the issue with "executive privilege" and long-time staffers either not empowered or unwilling to enforce rules, laws, and good practice. Everybody below obligated to follow the rules but those on top not being held accountable to follow the same rules.

Not exactly. The GQP made a HUGE stink about HRC's emails, using her personal account. But the Rethugnicans truly are protecting their private witch hunt panel in the ultimate court. Time for some clearer rules about the SCOTUS.

I feel like we are living Ideocracy, and heading for The Postman. It's hard to believe all this stuff is real, & that someone isn't going to suddenly pop up and say "Gotcha!! 😂🤣"....... 🤯
