"We found out today that the Supreme Court is not at all serious about its own Ethical Code.

Ginni Thomas was directly involved in the plot to overturn the 2020 election. The same plot that got Trump kicked off the ballot in Colorado.

Clarence Thomas is hearing the case. Hello?"

@rbreich I don’t trust this court.
@rbreich "We found out today that the Supreme Court is not at all serious about its own Ethical Code."

And this surprises ... who, at this point? After John Roberts whined, complained, and stalled before reluctantly declaring an "ethics code" that couldn't enforce its way through a sheet of wet tissue paper?
@rbreich you need to keep the judiciary away from government. Having judges picked by politicians always seems to be a mistake.
@rbreich the supreme Court is a farce and justice an illusion

@rbreich

He lied to get on the court. I wonder if he actually has any morals, at all? In any event, I don't look for him to change significantly, until he's dead and decomposing.

@skydog He is the most cynical man in America.

@rbreich

Christ. What a fucking shithole of a country.

@rbreich I hope that one Justice would make this point in the ruling, setting his corruption in stone for everyone to see forever.
@rbreich
Barring a massive Democratic sweep of both chambers, he has no fear of being removed, and he knows it.
@rbreich I hope that the non-aligned voters will be wise enough to kick that millionaire out of politics and get anyone for the president's seat.
@rbreich Funny how on one issue it's "states' rights" and on another they're all of a sudden so concerned that states will make the wrong decisions.
@rbreich the lack of ethics ,the concern by SCOTUS , or even the appearance of any concern are not new today. What used to be a Clurt beyond any reproach is now viewed like other low level, selfish,out for themselves politicians
@rbreich SCOTUS is corrupt and unfit to rule on anything. Thomas is a traitor. Barrett is a christo fascist cultist. Alito is a KKK bigot. Kavanaugh is a bought lackey.
@rbreich It was illegal for him to be there.
@rbreich What a charade, Thomas should recuse himself, or go down in history as being a pawn of Trump.
@rbreich and asked questions: the sleeping giant awakes.
Funny - Tucker Carlson is piggybacking on Robert Reich to get exposure. lol
@rbreich
Really disgusting.
Unfortunately if Kagan, Sotomayor, or Brown join any opinion Thomas signs -- and no one seemed like they were going for Colorado -- he gets a degree of cover.
@rbreich Between the billionaire gifts, the Jan 6 Ginni Thomas stuff, and the seats McConnell stole, the whole Court seems illegitimate. It's a corrupt political body, not a institution of jurisprudence.
@rbreich First one to ask questions.
@rbreich
And I don't think the vote will be close, which means he doesn't need to be there. But he can't start acting accountable now.
@rbreich "A court which is final and unreviewable needs more careful scrutiny than any other. Unreviewable power is the most likely to self-indulge itself and the least likely to engage in dispassionate self-analysis … In a country like ours, no public institution, or the people who operate it, can be above public debate." Warren E. Burger, 1968
@rbreich
Supreme Court is bought and paid for. They aren't actually serious about enforcing the Constitution...
