    Default There is no doubt any more: the US supreme court is run by partisan hacks

    In mid-September, Clarence Thomas told a crowd of more than 800 students and faculty at Notre Dame University that the US supreme court should not be viewed in political terms, and that justices don’t base their rulings on “personal preferences”.

    But if not political or personal preferences, where exactly do they discover the law? Thomas never said. When asked whether the attorneys presenting oral arguments ever compel him to change his mind, Thomas said, “almost never”.

    In late September, the court’s newest member, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, told a crowd in Kentucky that supreme court justices are not a “bunch of partisan hacks”.

    Moscow Mitch and FagBoy Lindsey sure spent a lot of time stacking the Court to get the desired outcome to 'Constitutional' questions.

    Default Robert Reich on law school:

    I was in law school in 1973 when the supreme court decided Roe. Also in my class at the time was Clarence Thomas, along with Hillary Rodham and Bill Clinton.


    In those classroom discussions almost 50 years ago, Hillary’s hand was always first in the air. When she was called upon, she gave perfect answers – whole paragraphs, precisely phrased. She distinguished one case from another, using precedents and stare decisis to guide her thinking. I was awed.

    My hand was in the air about half the time, and when called on, my answers were meh.

    Clarence’s hand was never in the air. I don’t recall him saying anything, ever.

    Bill was never in class.

    Fucking hilarious! Hillary was a suck up. Thomas was bored. Bill Clinton never showed up!

    Elections have consequences, Jack.

    If the Democrats had won in 2016, they would have stacked the court.

    You know this.

    Clarence Thomas. Is that where the term 'Uncle Tom' came from?

    What desired outcome did they get? So far they have given conservative opinions but not those desired by the right.

    Looks like the Court is leaning towards granting States the Right to Regulate 'Abortion'.

    Which invalidates the law established in Roe and Casey, according to Bret at his hearings, any precedent set twice is law and should not be overturned
