When I was a mere clerk for the 1st circuit appeals court, I wasn't allowed to have a political bumper sticker for fear of creating even the appearance of bias on the court.

How can Justice Alito be allowed to rule on Jan 6-related matters after flying a pro-insurrection flag?

@rbreich It certainly seems like some culture of basic decency has been shed and "whatever you can get away with" is now nakedly the GOP modus operandi. The politics of division and "wedge issues", negative campaigning now ratcheted up to levels better described as propaganda...when did it start? Who has managed to make it pass as normal and not alarm the electorate? How can we put it back under the rock from which it crawled?
