Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This person, masquerading as a judge, serves as a clear illustration of a tainted justice system.
It's important to remember that not a single justice said the SC needs oversight for this stuff...
There's clearly an issue, but none of them will admit because to them the optics of the court being corrupt is worse than the court being corrupt.
The whole system needs redone.
In light of Citizens United, they are just being the change they want to see.

I don't know what you thought that means...
But it's not her admitting the court has been corrupt for a long time
Quote me the part where she admits the court is corrupt and needs oversight.
I won't wait tho, because she didn't say it in your link.
She just says they're "looking into" people complaining it's corrupt.
No idea how you can't tell the difference, guess I overestimated people again
Next time you wanna move the goalposts just do us all a favor and shove em firmly up your ass
Well, at least we know what half of you're username is accurate...
Not sure why you made that comment yesterday, deleted it, and made it again today tho.
But Lemmy has a block button for this exact scenario....
App I'm using is funky, didn't realize it posted yesterday. Toodles!
Well, he's not doing something illegal... unethical, yes. This is corruption plain and simple.
It's illegal for anyone subject to laws. An apellate judge would be in prison for each and every one of these bribes, no option to resign.
And Thomas is not subject to laws. That's the explanation.
He admitted wrongdoing when he feigned ignorance that he was supposed to disclose his lavish gifts for the last few decades.
This is just more info coming out about what he always hid from the American people regarding the huge under-the-table gifts he's been receiving from billionaires all these years.
