No, I'm just gonna bury my head in the sand, because we are the SCOTUS, and we are ABOVE any kind of ethics concern.
Meanwhile, Whistleblower raises alarm over John Roberts' wife making $10.3 million in legal commissions: 'I knew immediately that it was wrong'
...and this is NOT "new" news. BEFORE Clarence's little escapades became public, I knew NOTHING about Roberts' wife.

(38,623 posts)I had the nerve to suggest that Roberts was most likely taking bribes.
He wasn't protecting Thomas, he was protecting himself.
Or that Roberts knew about the corruption about other justices and did nothing.
So he is complicit.
If Roberts didn't know, he should have known.
Total failure to supervise the SC justices.
Anyway you slice it, Roberts is guilty of something.
Told I was off base and just using "spidey sense."
Apparently using logic and the scientific method is now considered voodoo.
And of course today we see Robert's wife is corrupt.

ETA I should say I am used to pushback, it is not easy for people who tend to be a step ahead of the crowd.

So I think I gave as good as I got.

(28,822 posts)she also did not believe that Roe would be thrown out (I said, say good-bye to Roe the day Kavanaugh was confirmed). she thought Susan Collins's defense of her vote for him was very well done.
I love her but she is in major denial about what's really going on imo. makes it harder and harder to communicate, but I make strides from time to time. For instance the last time we talked I said republicans have jumped the shark and she said, yes, they have. But it really kind of agonizes her to have to agree and she is miles away from realizing that it's not just the politicians, it's the people.

(23,367 posts)Roberts is at minimum complicit by looking the other way and he's probably just as corrupt as Clarence and Boof.

(47,997 posts)But now we know he is corrupt too.
So he is guilty ON ALL COUNTS.
