Thomas: "Listen guys, I'm telling you, it's more exclusive than Bohemian Grove! When I left Bohemian Grove I got an RV. The invites we get after this will get us mansions!"

Supreme Court justices voting on a matter that immediately affects the person who appointed 3 of them means there should be 3 recusals right?

halfcockedlaw.bsky.social•420 days ago

It's just so unfare that his salary doesn't support 3 households.

jamackinn.bsky.social•420 days ago

What if Clarence Thomas does the right thing for the first time in his life and recuses and the rest of the justices split 4-4?

Just goes back to the states?

futureed.bsky.social•420 days ago

lower court ruling stands.

chromaticchameleon.bsky.social•420 days ago

the bidding starts at a beach house. Heck you cant even get into the auction without a luxury vacation for two

On the twelfth day of Christmas, Harlan Crow gave to me . . .

bcarreiro.bsky.social•420 days ago

Look, those folks just aren’t paid enough so we *have* to give them beach houses and whatnot. Otherwise, we might end up with justices who don’t want beach houses! Then where will be?

2xaught7.bsky.social•420 days ago

RV might be in need of upkeep first.

curtis.wilde.one•420 days ago

Well, it was just going to go unoccupied, Ken!

Venmo or PayPal?

I remember when I was a kid I was taught that with our judicial, executive, and legislative branches we have a very cleverly-devised system of checks and balances.

What is the check on the Judicial system again? It's been a long time since grade school and I seem to have forgotten.

Impeachment.

Yup.

exgnome.bsky.social•420 days ago

Congress can also limit the scope of their jurisdiction, impose an ethical code, change numbers and terms and circuit courts… Congress could do a lot of things, if it ever decided it wanted to.

sekhburd.bsky.social•420 days ago

Then the judges say "nah. That's unconstitutional" and everyone sits and pouts.

smullins3000.bsky.social•419 days ago

Numbers, yes. Nine is arbitrary. As for an ethical code, yes, but the only punishment possible is impeachment. It's literally the only remedy allowed in the Constitution.

originalism's time to shine

ericallyn.bsky.social•420 days ago

"That bit of fine print wasn't IN the original CONSTITUTION! It's JUST an Amendment! Which the original framers WOULDN'T have wanted IN there!"

(Which, sure, it's stupid. But I'm pretty sure it's out there.)

lukemaynard.bsky.social•420 days ago

I'm sure plantation owner Thomas Jefferson would have felt that 12 amendments was enough for anyone, really, and we should've stopped there.

gojira65.bsky.social•420 days ago

Didn't thisSCOTUS already find that the 14th amendment had nothing to do with race, or some such?

drjasonharrison.bsky.social•420 days ago

Possible thought process: "Those amendments were added just to get agreement that the constitution would be the law of the land. So let's start with just ignoring them from #1, to #2... Oh right. Anyway, we can ignore specific amendments because they weren't all created equal."

hyperewok1.bsky.social•420 days ago

Chief Justice Roberts will assure the public soon enough:

Clarance Thomas isn't technically being bribed because he would have voted in favor of a fascist either way.

melindaclem.bsky.social•420 days ago

What does Brett Kavanaugh want?

dawson400.bsky.social•420 days ago

"Because when you think unbiased and impartial, you naturally turn to Clarence Thomas for a decision on Trump's eligibility. What could possibly go wrong? February hearings grab your popcorn! 🍿 #SupremeCourtLogic #InSarcasmWeTrust"

diskonto.bsky.social•420 days ago

Stack the courts. It's an illegitimate institution, anyway. There should be no need to worry about the next guy ruining its integrity.

The whole institution is just what a few monsters want to happen to our society.

sailbarque.bsky.social•420 days ago

When does Alito leak their ruling? Next week?

kipwilliams.bsky.social•420 days ago

We're just haggling over the price now.

frankjkruse.bsky.social•420 days ago

GREAT reference! Well done.

werrrp.bsky.social•420 days ago

as with Twitter, it's foolish to pay for a free service

danielsand.bsky.social•420 days ago

Party on Thomas’ suspiciously new boat after the vote.

danielsand.bsky.social•420 days ago

Alito and Thomas will find a newfound passion for seeing Originalism as an outdated concept.

dontinnovate.bsky.social•420 days ago

You wear your cynicism well - like a bespoke suit made by an 80 year old man who doesn’t speak your language(s) who only understands “the old ways” to craft a proper suit.

ads60nyc.bsky.social•420 days ago

He will just be beach-house-sitting over the summer and in fact should be compensated very fairly for his services.

devonunger.bsky.social•420 days ago

Clarence wants to know when someone will try to get the head of the Biden crime family off the ballot and onto that barge at Guantanamo!

sarahfo.bsky.social•419 days ago

Anyone who thinks Donald didn't approve of the insurrection needs to rewatch him watching it on TV for 187 minutes before letting the Proud Boys know it was time to leave.

sebbearva.bsky.social•420 days ago

Or a permanent suite at Mar-a-Lago

melmomacdaffy.bsky.social•420 days ago

But Kavanaugh is going to save him! https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4390774-trump-attorney-kavanaugh-will-step-up-ballot-cases/

ldacker.bsky.social•420 days ago

That’s offensive, Clarence only wants a trailer park timeshare.

darkwebmallcop.bsky.social•420 days ago

On a scale of 1-10 how much does Trump’s lawyer going on TV and saying “We know Kavanaugh will do the right thing” help him?

lillianorlando.bsky.social•420 days ago

Who lied about all Kavanaugh’s sexual escapades and drunken parties.. refused to let FBI vet him.. because he’d fail..

madcynic.com•420 days ago

This seems appropriate.

henryhill1.bsky.social•420 days ago

That RV is old AF now.

erinlsnyder.bsky.social•420 days ago

While I understand your cynicism, I genuinely think there's a chance - however small - the corrupt billionaires paying off the conservative justices might turn on Trump in an attempt to boost the candidacies of the other Republican nominees.

staidwinnow.cultofsundries.com•420 days ago

That DeSantis is still in the race gives this theory a small chance.

A very small chance.

beneathsurface.bsky.social•420 days ago

They could have just denied hearing and upheld the CO ruling. They could have scheduled it by Jan 5 like the CO Supreme court said. Instead they are scheduling this for after the primary ballots are printed and sent.

helchose.bsky.social•420 days ago

ericallyn.bsky.social•420 days ago

If they had denied cert, Thomas would've missed a chance to supplement his meager $270,000 SJC salary.

He has an insurrectionist wife and an RV to support, you know.

smullins3000.bsky.social•420 days ago

I'll bet he wants one pretty bad right about now.
