[quote=Anonymous][quote]Heaven help us. This is kind of knuckle dragging response that Democrats produce nowadays. We’re supposed to be the smart people, the clear thinkers, the people who can see the forest beyond the trees.

Have you clerked?

I have!

I clerked for two federal judges in major jurisdictions — both Democratic appointees. During my three year is clerking, I saw lots of goings on among judges on the district and COA level that anyone could make something of if they felt like being spiteful. You have no freaking clue. And everyone I’m talking about is a Dem.

You are completely batshit if you think any justice can go through the kind of scrutiny we are putting Thomas through right now and come out clean. The ethics rules are very subjective, very vague, poorly enforced, and intentionally so because the idea is to give justices latitude in the conduct of their affairs.

You might not like that, but using them as a pretext for this witch hunt is going to blow back on us. When right wing nut jobs turn the same scrutiny on our justices AND our federal judges it’s going to be a bloodbath. They’re combing financials right now and already making noises about Sotomayor. At some point, a republican will return to the presidency and then you’ll see. Our base isn’t going to shrug and the heads of good Democratic judges will roll.[/quote]

I'm astounded that you think it's a totally run of the mill thing for judges to have billionaire "friends" who shower you and your family and your extended family with millions in gifts, tuition, and so on.

I have family members and friends who are judges.  This does NOT happen as casually and frequently as you're here dishonestly trying to make out.[/quote]
