John Roberts finally speaks out about Clarence Thomas.

[MiHale]

1. I would love to but...

I may, no not may, I would incriminate myself and my other court buddies.

Too bad, so sad.

[hay rick]

2. The rot starts at the top.

Maybe we should be grateful to Clarence for raising the curtain. Not that a better view offers much of a surprise...

[brush]

4. Yeah, Roberts let Citizen United come in. Wonder if he got paid for that?

And gutting the voting right act? And of course beer boy's debts were quietly paid up during his confirmation hearing. And Kennedy resigned just so trump could appoint beer boy to take his seat, how much changed hands on that?

9. John Roberts' wife Jane Sullivan Roberts has made millions in commissions...

...as a DC headhunter recruiting attorneys for jobs at law firms that have cases before the Supreme Court.

12. God, that's about as bad as Ginni Thomas. She keeps it quiet and pockets big bucks.

All the repugs are doing something it seems. Haven't heard any unseeming rumors about the Dems on the court.

14. An excellent article on just how corrupt the current US Supreme Court Republicans are:

And yes, it is only the Republicans.

16. 5 SCOTUS Judges INVITED & expanded the scope of Citizens United. A takedown of established law!

“Essentially, five Justices were unhappy with the limited nature of the case before us, so they changed the case to give themselves an opportunity to change the law.”

A quote from Justice Steven’s dissent which is a wonderful read.

A scathing repute of the 5 Conservative Judges who purposely expanded the CU case scope in order to overturn established Congressional laws.

This dissent is a work of art!

21. i love roberts rational

when he gutted the voting rights act, he said it was no longer needed because racial discrimination in America is a thing of the past and thus the VRA is no longer needed.


YEAH......................RIGHT

Just how stupid do they think we are, anyway? They don't care because the last thirty years have proven they can be as anti-American and unconstitutional as they want and they will never suffer any consequences for their aggressive efforts to convert the USA into a totalitarian authoritarian DICTATORSHIP.

It started IN EARNEST with the Bush v. Gore 2000 decision that was so shitty they added a caveat that this ruling cannot be used as a legal precedent.

At least they are honorable enough to commit their treason's in plain sight because they just don't give a fuck about upholding the Constitution or the best intentions of our founding fathers.

19. Did Roberts really say this? Or is this a meme?

Wondering whether I should laugh or be pissed off.

[hay rick]

22. No. I read his thought bubble.

I suggest you laugh instead of cry. But please also be pissed off. If a whole bunch of people don't get pissed off and do stuff they don't ordinarily do, this is not going to change.

[ancianita]

23. LOL thanks.

[Irish_Dem]

3. We know that Thomas is not the only one who has taken large sums of money.

25. The Byzantines in Constantinople plodded along for centuries...

in its age of great corruption. The American empire will not last as long.

[marble falls]

5. He actually said that????

[ShazzieB]

6. Yeah, seriously, that looks like a joke meme to ne.

It's really hard to imagine Roberts saying that publicly. (Of course, I'd love it if he did.)

[peppertree]

7. But he might as well - especially given his own

8. Jesus once said " Don't believe everything you read on the internet" n/t

[The Magistrate]

10. Damn, So That's Where Abe Lincoln Got That!

[LiberalFighter]

11. He could resign too.

[brush]

13. So after voting for Durdin for years, you hear something about him from...

a guy who worked a long time for Russia Today, and you're ready to ditch Durbin?

[LiberalFighter]

17. Are you replying to the right response?

[brush]

18. No, sorry. I apologize. I'm going back and forth to two threads.

[LiberalFighter]

20. You had me a bit confused. :)

[FoxNewsSucks]

15. If any of the republicons are annoyed, it's only about the SLOPPY aspect

The rest of the SCROTUS are more discreet with their corruption.

[hay rick]

24. Roberts' wife being a prime example of discreet, under-the-radar corruption.
