[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If only we could all apply the same sense of outrage that is exhibited here regarding ethical breaches in academia, to ethical breaches in our highest levels of government: Supreme Court ethics violations and out-in-the open grifting of a president while in office (see thread on new House report on payments to Trump by foreign entities while he was president).

This has been a great and eye-opening discussion, but I don't get why some forms of cheating are more bothersome to people than other types.

This isn’t a discussion about the Supreme Court or the House grifters. I have no idea why you’d jump to the conclusion that people disturbed by the overt cheating of high level academics aren’t also disturbed and want action on the grifters in the House or the Supreme Court ethics rules violations. That seems like a ridiculous leap, and makes me question your ability to read. For the record, I think the Supreme Court/House ethics issues are significant and I am outraged by them. I am also outraged by the clear elevation of a cheater to the highest ranks of Harvard, who held students to an entirely duplicitous standard.

That having been said [b]if you are talking about Gorsuch, those plagiarism claims were faked[/b]. What he did was entirely consistent with accepted legal scholarship. I have no patience for fake claims of plagiarism. [/quote]

Not talking about Gorsuch--talking about Thomas and his unethical habit of accepting gifts from wealthy individuals.

Also, not talking about "grifters in the House" (although I'm sure there are plenty there as well)--talking about the grifter in the White House (see new report "White House for Sale"; it has receipts), the former president. Who you will probably vote for again.

Trump's Businesses Got Millions From Foreign Governments While He Was President

"Donald J. Trump’s businesses received at least $7.8 million from 20 foreign governments during his presidency, according to new documents released by House Democrats on Thursday that show how much he received from overseas transactions while he was in the White House, most of it from China. The transactions, detailed in a 156-page report called “White House For Sale” that was produced by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, offer concrete evidence that the former president engaged in the kind of conduct that House Republicans have labored, so far unsuccessfully, to prove that President Biden did as they work to build an impeachment case against him."
