Just to recap, Clarence Thomas let a GOP megadonor take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house and let her live there rent free, pay for his grandnephew to attend a private boarding school — all in secret until now.
How is he still on the Supreme Court?
@pixelnull @rbreich How can you say there is no oversight.
There is perfect oversight to 18th century standards provided by a very modern constitution by 18th century standards.
Impeachment by Congress it is.
Will work about as well as impeaching the orange ape worked.
Yes, by any ethical standard these guys should be barred from practising law ever again, probably.
But impeachments are political, and they are good loyal GOP peons.
@yacc143 @pixelnull @rbreich we must #UnpackTheCourt, the only feasible way, we must #ExpandTheCourt.
We have unqualified partisans selling rulings in the highest court in the land. This could be avoided by simply listening to our judges when they tell us who is qualified to serve. Who respects the rule of law.
