Clarence Thomas' ethics mess was already a problem. Revelations about his role with the Horatio Alger Association make the problem worse.

    I keep hearing about this dude’s issues coming to light and getting worse yet I see no path to change. Amazing how such simple gaffs back not even that long ago could disqualify people from things like running for public office but now people have just normalized being a piece of shit.

      From what I gather there is literally nobody higher than the Supreme Court, therefore they can’t be punished. I guess they can be impeached but if the dems do that, the republicans will start doing it and it’ll just become a political weapon that will come out to play depending on who’s president.

      Maybe we the people can do something? But no that’s a joke. Idk but it’s depressing af

    How many stories have come out proving that this whole court is corrupt, yet nothing seems to be able to be done about it. Seriously, what is there to do as an average citizen? A out the only way I see out of this is impeachment, which likely won’t work, or packing the court, which Biden is too much of a coward to do.
