A country with a corrupt Judiciary is an official Banana Republic. It is more than time we end lifetime appointments for the Judiciary and institute much stronger disclosure rules with an oversight that has powers to punish abuses. If what is done in the government happened in corporate, the ones involved usually get fired and prosecuted under the laws. The impunity must end.

Senator Whitehouse and senator Warren are trying to unravel the right wing dark money and the JCN. The federalist society is really the judicial crisis network. In 2014 Mitch McConnell blocked every judicial appt Obama nominated and bragged about how he ruined Obama's presidency. In '17 in comes Trump. And now DT and Moscow Mitch put no less than 200 judges on the courts. MM rammed ACB's nomination to the SC less than a month before the election. This is where the JCN comes in. The Severino's and especially Leonard Leo played a HUGE part in getting these right wingers in the courts. And now we have a corrupt SC who are ideologues more than anything. I'll bet there's at least one more republican like uncle Clarence.

From what I have seen in the good reporting we get from certain newsgroups, Merrick Garland is a spineless Trump supporter and finds ways to get out of making decisions to investigate or prosecute. It kind of makes me wonder what Trump has on all of these people in power and why are they afraid to step on his toes or even speak up. Garland is not going to investigate anything he's playing around with the drug war today in the news and it is well known that if we can stop a country from warring with another country, United States can for sure war on the drug cartel and stop it. So I think Merrick Garland is biding his time until he can retire and being very low-key and don't want to offend anyone and of course he might be in fear for his life because Trump is a mafia and they are well known for taking people out.

Bork was truthful during his hearing and wasn't confirmed. Clarence learned that if he lied, he would be confirmed. Lyin Sammy, Kavenaugh, Gorsich, and Barrett followed Sneaky Clarence's example.

Impeachment of a Supreme Court Judge works in similar fashion to the impeachment of a President. The House has to draft the articles of impeachment and vote to impeach and then the Senate would decide if he was removed or not. The problem is the House is controlled by the Republicans so they are never going to launch an impeachment vote against Thomas so the Dems hands are tied on this with out assistance from Republicans. Until Democrats have enough control in the senate and house to do it with out republicans help it's not going to happen. The only hope is that it appears he has broken federal law so the Justice Department could charge him or that Dems regain control of the House and keep the Senate in this upcoming election cycle but for the time being their hands are tied.

He is probably very conflicted because his wife was anti-abortion and anti-choice although she did step down from her duties with an organization related to that controversy.

Are we actually witnessing justice in the USA again???
@pamelabennett1492 Жыл бұрын

@jjgregory4844 Жыл бұрын
@ Director Virtualtowns Well, we're witnessing a version of justice, being applied where it quite often isn't, by one faction of the government, where they deem fit, for mostly their own benefit. This is the "Stacking of the Court" that they promised. If you can fancy that as justice? Are we now going to have to start investigations into every time an estate was settled to confirm accurate disclosure was declared? We should.

Keep up the good work senator whitehouse! You being a watch dog of the supreme court is making ALL the difference. You have taught me so much (and then I others) with your “scheme” series on the scotus!

17:05 just a reminder he is a supreme court JUSTICE, if he is supposed to be good at anything it's legal interpretation. Not an impeachable offense all on it's own, but definitely behavior that is not up to the standard of what the supreme court should be.

If a federal employee fails to report a gift or other financial benefit that is required to be reported under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, they could face civil or criminal penalties. Civil penalties may include fines of up to $50,000, as well as disciplinary action, such as suspension or termination of employment. Criminal penalties may include fines, imprisonment for up to 5 years, or both. It is important to note that the severity of the punishment will depend on the specific circumstances of the case, such as the amount and nature of the gift, and whether the failure to report was intentional or inadvertent.

@@sharonduggins7332 a really nice thought but he actually is the conscience of the Senate we need him to stay there awhile and it would be a waste of time energy and money. However that being said he could still run while he is in the Senate and will not lose his senate seat and that way he would get National recognition like senator 😮Elizabeth Warren has done and then was just able to go back to her senatorial duties and making Great Waves while she does it! I wish Jamie raskins could become a senator from Maryland however because it is murderous having to run every two years to be in the house.
