I'm probably more left-wing than most people but I don't think it's super-radical to suggest that maybe if you want to hobnob with and be heaped with exorbitant gifts by soulless, morally rudderless American aristocrats who are likely to appear in front of you with many grievances about being forced by civil society to treat people like something greater than serfs, you should find a job that is not Supreme Court Justice and doesn't make your servile devotion to exhaustively beshitted cult dogma fuck up a bunch of other people's lives for no good reason other than your exhaustively beshitted cult dogma.

I do understand that having that job is what gets your scumbag rich friends the shit they want so you're the exact person they want to have that job, I'm just saying that should disqualify you for the position and society writ-large should do whatever it can to make sure you don't hold it.

I don't think I'm going out on a limb in suggesting that every one of those six right-wing piece of shit Supreme Court justices would rule exactly how they're ruling without the bribes, they absolutely would. The problem is they've actually legislated that bribes are 100% fine in American politics because they ideologically identify with unfathomably wealthy neo-Nazi sociopaths who bribe politicians in exchange for policy that codifies unfathomably wealthy people as a master race, which, in turn, makes it fine that they, the garbage-human Supreme Court justices, canoodle with unfathomably wealthy neo-Nazi sociopaths just in the course of their gauche mega-yacht vacations.

Like if the Federalist Society puts you up for that job, you're ESTABLISHED as exactly THAT shit a human being, trackable graft or no.

I mean, my dude, if you're on the Supreme Court and you're buds with Peter Thiel or the Mercers - and if you're buds with Leonard Leo, you absolutely are - you are actual visceral political allies with people who tried to end America as a republic. Via alliance with overseas fascists and then via an actual coup attempt.

Like in a functioning society not already stacked to benefit toff cunts, you'd be sacked yesterday and changing your name just to get a job working at a gas n sip today.

This is blue-skying, obv, but I will just suggest that we need to move the Overton Window and actual NORMAL public discourse to the point where, the next time a candidate is up for a Supreme Court job, a particularly uncompromised Democratic senator asking "Are you, sir, a member of the Federalist Society?" should carry the exact fucking discursive weight of asking someone "Are you, sir, a member of the Nazi Party?" and a "yes" being exactly as damning.

Because, to be crystal here, they are. the. same. fucking. thing.
