@GottaLaff Too little too late… I was personally hoping for disbarment. I hate the idea that justices can be bought and that corruption has found its way into these U.S. institutions so deeply and so widely.

@lizopp @GottaLaff there’s no better time to begin accountability than now. Yes, it’s a shame it’s taken so long for literally anything to happen about this, but it’s not too late. And it could be just beginning, so who knows if it’ll be too little.

Though the wheels of justice turn very slowly, turn they do :)
