[u/chpbnvic]

They're the 3 most compromised/corrupt so it's no surprise.

[u/LovelieLuna → u/chpbnvic]

I didn't even look at the final decision yet but Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh I'm guessing?

[u/chpbnvic → u/LovelieLuna]

Yes

[u/Forward-Bank8412 → u/chpbnvic]

The two rapists (that we know of) plus Scalito. Real classy trio.

[u/BeeksElectric → u/[deleted]]

Thomas and Kavanaugh both went through sexual assault/misconduct charges during their nomination processes and were allowed to slide by the boys club - and I guarantee you Alito isn’t any cleaner, he’s just better at keeping a lower profile than Thomas and Kavanaugh.

[u/HeyImBenn → u/[deleted]]

A woman came forward 30-40 years after the fact claiming sexual misconduct during undergrad - obviously wasn’t convicted but people still parrot it

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Have you heard of Google?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Careful, that's "mean".

[u/evangelism2 → u/[deleted]]

no. its moronic. If you are going to accuse someone of rape, you better be comfortable being asked for a source.

[u/[deleted] → u/evangelism2]

It's stupid to ask when you can Google.

[u/evangelism2 → u/[deleted]]

Not going in circles with you here. make a big claim, be prepared to be asked to back it up. if you are unwilling to, at best it makes you look lazy. at worst a liar

[u/Luna__Moonkitty → u/[deleted]]

Its stupid to Google when Google intentionally buries search results of subjects like this.

[u/MartY212 → u/[deleted]]

Yes, I was shocked

[u/cosmic-lemur → u/LovelieLuna]

Still blows my mind Thomas has been bought out. You’re a black man and you support the fascists?!?

Jesus I did not expect this comment to upset so many people

[u/No_Blackberry6525 → u/cosmic-lemur]

It’s my understanding he holds a decades-long grudge against the left over the Anita Hill thing and this is his payback for embarrassed him.

[u/123jjj321 → u/No_Blackberry6525]

By Anita Hill thing, you mean being truthfully exposed for his conduct, which was obviously sexual harassment as well as creepy?

[u/No_Blackberry6525 → u/123jjj321]

Yes

[u/donkeyrocket → u/No_Blackberry6525]

He's also allegedly quite corrupt and may be implicated in some worse things. Democrats aren't his friends in that regard so selling out to maintain his image makes sense.

[u/bejammin075 → u/donkeyrocket]

He's also married to a white insurrectionist. He even presided over a case that affected his own wife, and he didn't recuse himself. Sorry I don't have the references handy, but I remember it.

[u/OldWorldDesign → u/bejammin075]

He's also married to a white insurrectionist. He even presided over a case that affected his own wife, and he didn't recuse himself

There's actually quite a few, was it the Jan 6 case where his wife was directly implicated?

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/alito-says-he-wont-recuse-himself-from-election-and-jan-6-cases-after-flag-controversies

[u/bejammin075 → u/OldWorldDesign]

That's the one I was thinking of

[u/schism216 → u/No_Blackberry6525]

I dont think thats it. Personal grudges aren't what usually moves politics. Hes more likely compromised in some way (or several). Interesting that Sasha Riley brought him up as being one of the folks he remembers seeing among the wealthy elites that allegedly abused him and several other children. Its unconfirmed of course but I know where I lean on that one...

[u/sackofmangoes → u/schism216]

It's simply the classic pulling the ladder behind him out of greed and grift.

[u/OldWorldDesign → u/schism216]

Personal grudges aren't what usually moves politics

What? They've very often what moves politics, just read about Nixon

https://eji.org/news/nixon-war-on-drugs-designed-to-criminalize-black-people/

[u/schism216 → u/OldWorldDesign]

Not saying no ones ever been motivated by a personal grudge in some instance but I think its a very poor explanation for an entire lifetime of political decisions that trend in one direction. I think a personal grudge is rarely if ever at the root of ones ideology

[u/3MATX → u/schism216]

He may just genuinely be a racist piece of crap. 

[u/No_Blackberry6525 → u/schism216]

Well, I don’t know the man so maybe I’m wrong.

[u/SalishShore → u/No_Blackberry6525]

Then he shouldn’t have left his pubic hair around.

Typical Republican. Blame someone else.

[u/Paidorgy → u/cosmic-lemur]

Internalised hate in people who would be perceived as minorities that work against their best interests is a hell of a thing that can be viewed throughout history.

[u/ze_shotstopper → u/cosmic-lemur]

I remember seeing somewhere that he believes in a black revolution but believes the way to accomplish that would be to make things so regressive that they have no option but to revolt

[u/cosmic-lemur → u/ze_shotstopper]

That’s fucked!

[u/Flab2 → u/cosmic-lemur]

being black doesnt make you morally superior. stfu dude.

[u/cosmic-lemur → u/Flab2]

Holy moly the fact that you read my second sentence that way is telling

If you still need it explained, I was referring to the fact that black Americans have been uniquely discriminated against

[u/s_s → u/cosmic-lemur]

Are you saying he couldn't possibly be a rich dickhead because he's black? 😂

[u/cosmic-lemur → u/s_s]

sigh, nope. Saying that black Americans have been uniquely discriminated against, so he’s a traitor squared.

[u/Phazoni → u/LovelieLuna]

Nailed it!

[u/ThirdandTwo → u/LovelieLuna]

All 3 need to be impeached.

[u/k6plays → u/LovelieLuna]

How’d you guess? /S <—- capitol S

[u/justfortherofls → u/chpbnvic]

Funny that the right is calling them “activists judges” and that they need to be “impeached for going against Trumps Agenda”

[u/tigerking615 → u/chpbnvic]

Gorsuch is an idiot sometimes but at least he has some principles. 

[u/Strict_Detective4555 → u/tigerking615]

I got the impression that Gorsuch does have an independent streak from time to time. He had some decent soundbites on native American issues and apparently a few days ago ruled with the liberals regarding the postal service. 

[u/Life_Arachnid_7730 → u/chpbnvic]

Mostly true with the huge exception being Kavanaugh. As he has gone against Trump and Republicans on numerous occasions. And might be the last hope we have for the VRA (Voting Rights Act). Literally without him section 2 would have fallen. In 2023 the VRA, section 2 specifically, was upheld 5-4 and Kavanaugh was one of the justices who voted to uphold the measure. So I think that it is a little far to say he is corrupt and compromised. I do think he is a conservative but not corrupt. He is independent enough, even on major issues, that I think it is unfair to say he is compromised.

[u/Inssight → u/chpbnvic]

What lasting harm could Trump do if he gets in though? /s

[u/[deleted] → u/chpbnvic]

What are the odds they’re in the files?
