e_t_ Admin , to Politics in Lindsey Graham: Don’t Indict Trump, or Impeach Him, or Vote Against Him

I can understand how a powerful man might be afraid of a precedent of holding powerful men accountable for their crimes.

fear , to Politics in Analysis: A Quick Guide to Justice Clarence Thomas’s Ethics Scandals

The conservative justice, who has come under scrutiny for his failure to disclose such gifts, took at least 38 vacations, 26 private jet flights, eight flights by helicopter, a dozen VIP passes to sporting events, as well as stays at luxury resorts in Florida and Jamaica, the nonprofit news site reports. ProPublica notes that Thomas appears to have broken the law by failing to disclose flights, cruises and sports tickets.

So what happens now? Who is going to hold this unethical POS accountable for blatantly abusing his position?

I'm not sure what can be done besides packing the court, given that impeaching a federal judge requires a 2/3 senate majority, as well as the majority of the house. Republicans are not going to hold their own accountable.

No one is above the law, unless they show his honor a good time first. Well that's a fatal flaw in the system if there ever was one. Justice Clarence Thomas, marionette of the ultra wealthy. What an embarrassing legacy.

Pratai , to Politics in Republicans Already Told Us Impeachment Is Revenge for Trump

Remember when the cowardservatives all claimed that the left would lose their collective shit if they didn’t win the election? And that if the conservatives lost, they’d do it with class and dignity?

Seriously…. Is there anything they say that actually honest?

They need to be dismantled, brought to justice, and exiled for weaponizing our system of law because they didn’t like the outcome.

sadreality , to Politics in Trump’s Economic Plan: Raise Taxes on the Middle Class, Cut Them on the Rich

Maybe 10 of them or so, certainly not the majority or even, not likely, a notable percentage.

This has been conservative and neoliberal SOP the world over for a good 5 decades.

You should only be surprised if that changes.
