Hearings are only a circus because Republicans make them circuses. I think we are entitled to finding out just how deep the dirty corruption of the GOP goes. This seems like illegal coordination. Why is the GOP allowed to violate the law in letter and spirit?
I think I am starting to recognize you, PP, from your writing style and attitude.
There's not evidence any laws have been violated and the press has brought the corruption to light pretty well. I don't see how anything productive is going to come out of a fight where Supreme Court justices will refuse to appear, maintaining they are a branch of government and Congress doesn't have authority over them. And then Congress will do what?
Better for Dems to get a tight plan in place - publicly negotiate with GOP with reasonable provisions in it - and when the GOP infights and refuses to do anything, pass it at the point the Dems have a majority in both houses.
People need to give up the fantasy that Thomas is going to be removed from the bench. He's not. The most that can be done is to limit his tenure through legislation that applies to all of the federal judiciary equally.
Who has this fantasy and believes it? That corrupt Republican will die on the bench. Everyone knows this.
The only reason no laws have been violated is because there are basically no laws governing the Supreme Court, which is what the *hitbag GOP calls a loophole they can exploit.

Instead we have the craven GOP off to the races on impeaching Biden. It’s ridiculous how they’re happy to obsess over President Biden and his son but will ignore clear evidence of corruption on the court.

I just want maximum transparency for all Justices.
It shouldn't be this hard! These people are supposed to be an intelligent and deliberative body: why can't they thoughtfully deliberate on their disclosures?!?
Lazy, that's what they are. I don't believe most of them go out of their way to be bribed and influenced. It's laziness. And that's not OK.
No, I think with Thomas and Roberts’ wife etc it’s corruption. “Laziness” lets them off the hook.
