Senators call for Supreme Court to follow ethics code like other branches of government
Senators call for Supreme Court to follow ethics code like other branches of government
The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee says it's time for Supreme Court justices to bring their conduct in line with the standards of other branches of government.
You're viewing a single thread.
Another of the bazillion reasons why you shouldn't vote Democrat or Republican, but you will.
Unfortunately.
You should be ashamed of yourself with the whole both sides thing. You’re not, but you should be.
Unfortunately.
I've observed 40 years of Democrats solely enabling rollbacks of economic and social power, and then pretending to be powerless when we need them to stand up and do something. There's nothing shameful about acknowledging that they've become collaborators.
How unfortunate.
I mean, it really is.
The minimum wage is, and has been, stuck at 7 bucks an hour for 15 years. Abortion is now illegal in most of the country. Trans people are living in fear for their lives under a Democratic president who had control of Congress for two years. We have unlimited funds for like 9 wars, and one of those wars isn't even ours, but diabetics are being charged a mortgage payment to inhabit their own body every month. We find five billion in charity for Israel every year even though they don't need it and entire towns in this country have poisoned water pipes. Neither Democrats nor Republicans are doing anything about the increasing scarcity of housing even though that is becoming a legitimate crisis in most major cities. To top it off, Democrats even withheld $600 of the $2000 in COVID aid they promised us when we gave them a majority.
It is literally unfortunate. I appreciate your pithy tone though.
Go on…

Democrat is the better option
I don't know how anyone can come to that conclusion, especially if you're a wage earner, or need health care, or education, or to not be in fear for your life as a trans person. Democrats do nothing meaningful when we hand them a majority and all of their supporters just offer up excuses like they're somehow powerless.
I suspect you are hinting at revolution, but you won’t get off the couch. Be the change you want to see.
I know I'm shouting into the void. The voting population in this country votes Democrat or Republican no matter what their politicians do. No one is willing to hold anyone accountable. We're powerless. The best anyone can do for themselves in this country is to take all of the money you might donate to a politician and invest it in the stock market instead. At least your money will have actual representation. You won't.
My Democratic-run state
- was first to allow gay marriage and is very accepting
- is probably first in health care, including coverage for most, depending on your metrics
- is consistently first or second for education
- minimum wage $15/hr
- in several quality of life metrics ranks right up there with best in the world countries
And we recently pushed through the MBTA Communities Zoning law requiring towns with transit to allow “by right” high density housing near transit stations
I'm glad things are going well in your state.
I wish people cared what happens at the Federal level.
