Showing posts with the label SCOTUS corruption

The apotheosis of shamelessness

"As Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas faces a growing number of revelations that have raised intense scrutiny over his ethical practices, legal experts say the high court has found itself in unprecedented territory, its credibility in the eyes of the public rapidly eroding. "The slew of disclosures about Thomas, the most recent of which came Thursday, demonstrate a need for institutional reform and the revision of ethics rules, experts said. “The revelations showcase how both wealthy and narrow interests cultivate their own relationships with justices with life tenure with the capacity to entrench or undermine policies for generations,” Robert Tsai, a professor at Boston University School of Law, said in an e-mail." As long as Thomas sits on the SCOTUS, it has no credibility. The Roberts court is a morass of corruption. All the judges are complicit if none of them denounce it. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/05/05/nation/stunning-revelations-about-clarence-thomas-un...

Clarence Thomas needs to resign

 Anyone who is seriously concerned about the reputation and credibility of the Supreme Court of the United States would insist that Clarence Thomas resign immediately. (Gorsuch and Roberts are also ethically compromised) "The arrangement reveals that Leo, a longtime Federalist Society leader and friend of the Thomases, has functioned not only as an ideological ally of Clarence Thomas’s but also has worked to provide financial remuneration to his family. And it shows Leo arranging for the money to be drawn from a nonprofit that soon would have an interest before the court." https://www.eschatonblog.com/2023/05/john-roberts-sir-please-investigate.html

Not just Clarence Thomas

"For nearly two years beginning in 2015, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch sought a buyer for a 40-acre tract of property he co-owned in rural Granby, Colorado. "Nine days after he was confirmed by the Senate for a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court, the then-circuit court judge got one: The chief executive of Greenberg Traurig, one of the nation’s biggest law firms with a robust practice before the high court. Gorsuch owned the property with two other individuals." IOKIYAR https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/25/neil-gorsuch-colorado-property-sale-00093579
