Right, you could use this line of thinking to handwave away just about anything. Oh did the president obstruct an investigation into his own misconduct? Not surprising since all politicians are corrupt. Oh did he attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election? Yeah no kidding, all politicians are corrupt. So he radicalized and goaded his followers into brutally violent acts of domestic terrorism? Big whoop, all politicians are corrupt.

In 2023 that's not even in the top 10 weirdest things I might encounter on a daily basis on the interwebs.

April 19, 20232 yr never thought i'd see the day where a compromised judge on the supreme court seems like no big deal to some people.

Got you. Your post was definitely dismissive though, I hope you can see why it received the reaction it did.
April 19, 20232 yr @BFit your original post (at least the one I originally replied to this morning) carried a bit of a tone that "hey they're all corrupt what's the big deal" which I don't think you intended. maybe I'm naïve, but I do believe most judges are not corrupt and do see what Thomas did here as VERY problematic for the judiciary. and I believe John Roberts is probably furious at Thomas, because one of his known goals is to keep the SC above the fray, and this sort of thing just allows those who are cynical and believe "they're all corrupt" to point and say "see we might as well not believe in anything!"

I can see where you might get that from, but it was not intended to be dismissive. More of a general disgust for government. It was also aided by a couple margaritas.

April 19, 20232 yr Just now, Arthur Jackson said: was it these two? 2, 1 neither have especially great faces, but the 2nd one looks like she has nice cans.

Ideally SC justices shouldn't be politicians. They all pretty much are now, but that was not the intention of the founders.
