‘Corrupt as hell’: Clarence Thomas faces fresh calls to resign after more billionaire gifts revealed - Lemmy.world

Congressional Democrats have pushed for ethics reform legislation, efforts publicly rejected by Samuel Alito

They can call for him to resign all they want. He won’t. And he doesn’t have to. We have a SCOTUS who is accountable to no one and can get away with anything. They’re like the Mullahs of Iran.
I’m not American, so maybe that’s a stupid question, but is there really nothing the rest of the government can do about it?
Maybe if congress got its shit together they could impeach him, but that won’t happen.

Not as long as Democrats’ voters stay home because “both parties are the same” and Republicans ’ voters turn out in droves.

Stop electing Republicans and you’ll see a lot of problems solved.

I don’t think the Dems have the guts to impeach a SCOTUS justice even if they got in power.
Looking at what a fully Democratic state government has done in Michigan already from a single election cycle, I think you’re wrong. As soon as Republicans get out of office good things can start to happen.
