Religious organization accused of pressing conservative views on some Supreme Court justices

Wealthy volunteers of a religious organization spent years pushing their conservative positions on some Supreme Court justices, according to Politico. The former leader of the Faith and Action group arranged for roughly 20 couples to wine and dine certain justices, Politico said. Red and Blue's Nikole Killion sits down with the co-author of this article, senior legal affairs reporter for Politico Josh Gerstein, to discuss his piece.

At least 1 of the 3 branches of Government of America's Democracy has been corrupted and been allowed to go unchecked!!! What happened to Checks and Balances.

My dad is a ex judge in my country, while he was on the court he was not even allowed to run our family business or any business of his own like selling the books and in USA judges are allowed to accept gifts from religious institutions or organisations? You got to be kidding me.

Yes...these So-called Christians ...who want power and money...they will find out what Karma is all about !!!

The Judicial Branch has been sold out. Bought out.

Oh course Clarence Thomas "cares deeply about the court", its his meal ticket! The "charity" goes to the "Justices" pockets.

Aren’t we supposed to be able to trust the integrity and impartiality of the judges serving on the Supreme Court? Maybe it needs to stop being an unlimited time appointed position.

Those Justices were already Conservative.

[dementeduncle]

Unacceptable insidious undue influence on members of the court to steer and direct religiously based ideological affinities. To quote Rage Against the Machine: Abort the Supreme Court

[k.p.]

That should be illegal! Scotus should not be allowed to be influenced without punishment.

THE SUPREME COURT ACTED HOW THEY WANTED TO

[justtwobrotherspokemon]

When supreme court justices care more about their personal, political and theological beliefs then their duties to rule based on legal precedence and whether or not the facts of the case changed, the right to privacy or even public opinion our supreme court is a husk out what our forefathers intended it to be. The actions of these judges led to a 10 year old girl being raped and not being able to get an abortion in her state and treated like a criminal being forced to get treatment elsewhere when her fetus was the size of a grain of rice at 6 weeks and 3 days sickening stuff. She won't be the last either because the supreme court is injecting their personal beliefs into rulings the could affect a century of Americans.

We need laws based on real world and humans not story books

Faith in Action is connected to the Prayer Breakfast cultists, right?

[rc-stpg]

Maybe yall should go to the capital and protest.

[eric]

Interesting that this peaked in the 2000's, when W. Bush, a Fundie, was President.

[Kaisermb]

Good. Liberal views tend to be destructive.

[shilohmom]

Wake up CBS. It’s called Politics which goes back how many years?

[Jim-Tuner]

True Christianity is about Rendering unto Caesar and turning the other cheek. A true christian is loyal to our Caesar (President Biden) and keeps those things that are gods out of the public space.
