Justice Roberts refused to testify in a hearing on Supreme Court ethics.

Thomas secretly accepted gifts from a GOP megadonor and his wife was involved in Jan 6.

Alito flew not one, but two insurrectionist flags.

The list goes on.

Is it any wonder Americans don't trust SCOTUS?

@rbreich sadly, I think millions of Americans like the current SCOTUS. Scares the hell out of me.
@rbreich Roberts’ SCOTUS is a DISASTER.
@rbreich Has Clarence Thomas declared these expensive gifts on his tax returns or has he committed tax fraud?
@rbreich To me, being a simple kind of man, then having the power of US Senate Majority, I would end ALL funding of the Judicial Branch until he sees fit to show up and be held to the standards of accountability that apply to the rest of us.
And then it would get hard for them...if I were Senate Majority leader.
In fact, as a citizen, I begin to question the legitimacy of Supreme Court decisions, just as I would have during the times of the Fugitive Slave Act.

We can't eliminate their salaries. Those are Constitutionally protected.

But Congress could eliminate all other funding. Let's see how many opinions they can write when they don't have an entourage of clerks to do 99% of their work for them.

@rbreich and unfortunately all of this rhetoric, all these post mean nothing to the justices because they are above criticism, they see themselves as not servants of the law but speakers of the law. Kind of like the oracles of ancient times. Make the appropriate sacrifice or donation to get the pronouncements from the gods that you desire.
@rbreich It’s VERY apparent that US ‘justice’ is for sale. What a fucking mess. They know the price of everything but the value of nothing! USA GROW UP!!!!!
@rbreich Thank you for the background data on the “why’s”.
@rbreich Kavanaugh was a teen rapist and Comey-Barrett lied very badly at her confirmation hearing. And thats just the current bench.

#TIL

@ThomHartmann related that there's no enforcement backing for any #SCOTUS decision if #Congress doesn't make it

If their decisions are ridiculously #racist #sexist #Fascist the only weight they actually have are our respect for them
