If Republicans had even a single ounce of integrity, they would be demanding he resign.
But they would rather have an openly corrupt judge that votes their way on every single than to allow Biden to nominate an honest moderate.
57I'm not sure about the majority but my dad has this mentality that liberals are the corrupt ones and you're delusional if you think Republicans are corrupt in any way.
Showing him this new from many different sites only results in "the libs are behind this and just trying to discredit the other side." (But an article on a conservative site that can't be found anywhere else is completely legit) There's no reasoning with that type because reasoning isn't there anymore.
13If Republicans had even a single ounce of integrity, they would be demanding he resign.
If they had integrity, he wouldn't have been appointed in the first place.

They're not 'billionaire gifts'.
They're bribes.
Let's not use the euphemistic terminology. Calling these "gifts" is like using the term white nationalist in place of Nazi, or enhanced interrogation in the place of torture.
50He’s not going to resign. Gotta get him out by other means.
41Expand and term limit SCOTUS. This system is ridiculous
11Which would be?
9The only means is impeachment. Given how that went for Donnie twice I would imagine they won’t even bother
16
They were just talking to him, in the form of expensive bribes.
"Money is speech" in this fucked up dystopic cesspool. This is what that means. It was happening long before, but it's just out in the daylight and fuck the poories that don't like it since Citizens United.
Live by market capitalism, collapse by market capitalism. The inevitable consequences of the peasants tolerating the economic tyranny of the owner class.
25Clarence is not the only one doing this. This court is corrupt.
19Yeah, but he's also a statutory rapist, so lets start with him and the other Rapist Kavanaugh.
Unless there's someone that can beat that. Any genocide enthusiasts on the Honorable Supreme Court of the United States? Anyone?

“N*****, you ain’t nothing but the white mans dog.”
~ Sgt Maj John Rawlins (Glory, 1989)
14When I was young and learning about the Supreme Court in school, and Thomas was still in his "silent phase," I was shocked to learn that he was black. I remember asking my mom, "but it seems like he hates black people, please explain?" She didn't have an answer, other than "you can't guess people's beliefs based on their skin-color." Wise woman. Now that it has been explained to me over hundreds of pages of ProPublica articles and the latest Slow Burn season (which really nails it), it's clear that he is just a vindictive piece of shit with fluid ideals (he used to be a die-hard liberal) and a truly appalling sense of morality. He is being used by a group of white billionaires to get what they want and to make him feel rich and important. He had some genuine childhood trauma that clearly fucked him up, and the whole country gets to suffer for it.
27All skinfolk ain't kinfolk

He isn't going to resign. You might as well call for anything else. Pray in one hand, shit in another, and tell me which fills up first.
11If all corrupt politicians and government officials suddenly dropped dead, Washington DC would get a serious health and hygiene problem.
9Don't both-sides this. Republicans are overflowing with scandals and staying in office even though the evidence of their guilt is in the public record.
Republicans are trying to muddy the water by accusing Biden of corruption, but if you'll notice, they have ZERO evidence to back it up.
43Corrupt or not, Biden is every bit as self-interested and neglectful to the poor and middle class as every Democrat since Carter.
He's a shitty president, and the fact that he's done absolutely nothing meaningful as cost-of-living has risen 30% to 50% for most Americans is going to get a open fascist elected in 2024.

How brave and centrist of you.

Dissolve the supreme court. Jail every justice that has so much as bummed a cigarette from anyone related to anyone who had business before the court. You want your word to be law and the only real oversight to be literal death? You need to be beyond the shadow of reproach. You should be held to the highest standard that we can imagine.
7Isn't this the same for pretty much all politicians? Check out all of their funds youll find more of the same. Clean everyone out..set the age limit to like 60 for all forms of government. What the fuck!
-4So far, nothing has come out on the women. I'm starting to think there's an inside source. I think it's Roberts.
