Clarence Thomas Under Pressure to Recuse Himself From Donald Trump Case
Clarence Thomas Under Pressure to Recuse Himself From Donald Trump Case
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to look at whether the Republican former president is immune from federal prosecution.
You're viewing a single thread.
My take is this, and bear with me until the end; The Court is wildly conservative, not partisan. They're not on Trump's side. They owe him nothing.
See, once you're in for life, who gives a fuck? And that's very much the idea behind lifetime appointments. Sucks now, but I'm still down for it. Would we rather they be susceptible to political winds? (I'll take a Justice for all 12 circuit courts, at the least, please and thank you.)
Another thing that gets discounted, because they're in for life they owe nothing except to their legal legacy, their history. Most Justices, even the ones you hate, take this very, very seriously. Can't go any higher, their legacy is all they have left to define their life's work.
Thomas OTOH, is the most blatantly corrupt Justice I've seen in life, and I ain't a young 'un. This animal only cares about getting paid, no regard for his legacy, no shame. I see no reason or way he can be pressured out.
See, once you're in for life, who gives a fuck?
Exactly, so if you're a corrupt conservative POS - per your own argument, who gives a fuck? There is no reality in which these justices are held accountable, and if they were they'll have made enough cash to still sit pretty for life.
Sure, they're not partisan, but the forces funneling money and gifts into their pockets are.
They're partisan as fuck at the moment
The court is for sale. It's a hog trough. I don't think any of them give a fuck about their reputations.
Clarence Thomas might as well be Falstaff:
"Can honour set to a leg? no: or an arm? no: or take away the grief of a wound? no. Honour hath no skill in surgery, then? no. What is honour? a word. What is in that word honour? what is that honour? air. A trim reckoning! Who hath it? he that died o’ Wednesday. Doth he feel it? no. Doth he hear it? no. ‘Tis insensible, then. Yea, to the dead. But will it not live with the living? no. Why? detraction will not suffer it. Therefore I’ll none of it. Honour is a mere scutcheon: and so ends my catechism."
(Henry IV part 1 act V scene 1)
