Isn’t SCOTUS supposed to be reactionary? I mean, they don’t make laws, right?

Good for him.

Good for Crow-backed him. That’s how this works.

What are we reacting to?

Wrong.

Yes, you often are. Doesn’t answer his question, but nice of you to admit your faults.

It’s all good. Now if it was liberal judge taking gifts from George Sorros then whoa Nellie!

Yup. And this why this country is stupid right now. If Kagan was doing this, we would see an actual change in SCOTUS ethics policy with new statutes with teeth. But because its Thomas…we’ll get crickets.

Chip shot.

That group used a significant portion of the money to support Mr. Bragg in his 2021 campaign.

Explaining the Ties Between Alvin Bragg and George Soros

Donald Trump’s allies have accused the district attorney bringing a case against him as having been “bought” by Mr. Soros, the philanthropist. That is misleading, though the men do have a financial connection.

By the way- Roberts has to be pissed. Clarence is crapping on his tenure as Chief Justice.

He’s been asking since yesterday. If he were actually curious, Bing it on up and read.

So the question addressing your gas lighting is answered by more gas lighting.

Reactionaries, that’s the word you’re looking for.

It’s some weird hybrid of reactionary, MAGA, and petulance.

Here's to feeling good all the time. :

So which part of the Anita Hill investigation was racist ?

the part where all the democrats (including loudmouth ass Biden) all tried to ruin Thomas with lies and scandal because they couldn’t stand a non-white was nominated by a non-democrat

maybe you’re too young to remember

Was that the conservative beef with Kagan?

My wife is a liberal who supports transgenders. How much of that do you think I believe?

Supporting trans people vs believing in QAnon.

Basically the same.

They looked into allegations of sexual harassment by Thomas’s colleague. Does anyone think they would not have done so had Thomas been white ?

Because Democrats have never gone after a white conservative before, have they ? cough Trump, Bush, Romney cough

Where’s your proof that it’s due to him being black ???

Funny you ignored my question on whether or not the democrats have ever gone after a white conservative.

Oh wow- I literally missed this- and if this really has teeth than I apologize. What occurred with Thomas should never happen again.

Impenitent · 2023-04-06T22:01:56.454Z

I wonder if Bragg will go after him next…
