In my lifetime, we went from a president so squeaky clean that his opponents tried to make fist bumping his wife a scandal, to multiple Supreme Court justices mansplaining to us that just because they accept gifts from billionaires doesn’t make them corrupt.

@carnage4life when all the spotlight on the scandals started up I was thining about Abe Fortas, which which the previous big scandal in the late 60s/early 70s. Fortas had a retainer from soebody whose cases where before the Court, which was indeed pretty bad -- and apparently he wasn't the only one. But stuff that's come out about today's justices is arguably worse.

Fortas would have been impeached, so wound up resigning, but alas the political dynamics are different these days.
