The REAL problem with Justice Thomas that NOBODY is talking about is this:
The reason HE gives for his "mistakes" of not reporting all these gifts & so on is that he misunderstood the statue and the legal form he was filing out.
How is that nobody else find this deeply disturbing?
I mean, if the man can't understand a simple statue on ethics, or how to fill out a government form... WHAT is the basis for his ability & authority to decide the most difficult, complicated and important interpretations of laws in the nation?!?

HIS OWN explanation for his misbehavior completely undermines his credibility without even examining the ethical issues...

Roe should have been codified! Thomas's wife is MAGA up to her nose. She was at Jan 6. He should have recused!

Homeless bans are cruelty. Kicking someone that is down, is cruelty. Destroying/confiscating someone's property is cruelty.
These are 8th Amendment violations, medical and financial discrimination.
As a person on Disability, govt mandated poverty, I cannot afford housing or a campground, and therefore have no choice but to park on the side of the road. The Safe Parking areas are so restrictive that I don't qualify, since I'm disabled and not going back to work. And they kick people out at 7am, not able to return til 7pm, with no place to go during the day. And forced to this regardless of the medical ability to drive safely at that moment. And they threaten to tow my RV, taking everything I own, because I have medical issues.
Again, medical and financial discrimination, and 8th Amendment violations.

I've been fighting this locally, after seeing that several cities and counties throughout the country ruled them unconstitutional, and now the supreme Court rules against my life. They think it's ok to criminalize us for being on govt mandated poverty....
I want to sue the SC over this! I've been threatening to sue my county, they've been sued before over these bans.

Of course, we don't want people trashing an area, but that's what litter fines are for.
They can't treat someone as guilty of a crime they are not committing. I, in an RV, raised to be respectful by my parents, make no mess outside my vehicle, I shouldn't be treated as guilty because other people are guilty. That's injustice.

Being Disabled doesn't mean I should lose my Rights to Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness.
Yet cops threaten to take everything I own, and random people threaten to vandalize my shelter. And somehow these people don't think that vandalism is a 🤷🏻‍♂️

The SC needs to be sued.

George! They're doing exactly what Aileen Cannon is doing! It doesn't take 6 months to say NO

Liz did an awesome job here NBC. Thank you for airing this important discussion on this rogue court.

[janiekcarney]

The Court has been paid off to do whatever these bribers want them to do. Expensive vacations. The judges need to live within their means like the rest of us.

[gatsbylight]

I don't see anything wrong with -having- _demanding_ a *follow-up interview:* Any of the justices who sat there in front of Congress and *lied out of one of their two faces* when they said _"I respect _*_settled precedent, and Roe is settled precedent", _* should be brought before Congress again and asked *_"So, what's up with that?!"_*

[mrlh]

The situation is so bad that the whole Roberts court will need to be reviewed and many rulings overturned. Congress will need to begin writing laws to check the courts for corporate and political bias. All protections of corporations over people or liability will need to be stripped. Any action against professional doctors to be stripped because judges are not licensed doctors with credentials to judge health or outcomes.

If Trump wins and get congress, wave goodbye to this country as you know it...not hyperbole. Its coming, and its coming fast ya'll. Get your stuff in order

[hippypunkdragon]

Remove and replace Alito and Thomas. They have shown nothing but extreme corruption at the very least.

[marcypeterson]

Legislation needs to be drafted and brought to the American people for a re-structure of the Supreme Court appointments, and have them accountable as any other federal employee.

[rt-]

Landmark rulings are an understatement! No more life appointments, term limits for Supreme Court.

What George doesn’t understand is that the judiciary is ignorant about science. They are really stupid about what nitrous oxide is. Gorsuch proved that. We need experts to decide complicated solutions.

[claudiabarros]

I'm not American, but I'm very sorry that the USA is increasingly similar to a third world country...

[padilla]

That’s where the money disappears. A whole lot of kickbacks for the favors! Only the public is dumbfounded.

[VinnieKumar-io]

President, Senate and House election all crucial for America. Vote blue 💙

[francesbatycki]

Tenure at the university I taught at was not a guarantee of a job for life. We were assessed yearly, and if our performance didn’t meet a particular level two years in a row, dismissal proceedings could begin. Maybe more assessment and job performance demands would work?

[Feedme]

Didn’t the court just rule on receiving tips. I wonder who will get tips for this ruling

[dlcs]

Sorry George but they mean to completely dismantle those agencies one by one

[ir]

Could've listened to this panel for an hour longer. Disappointed there was no mention of Martin v. City of Boise, as inflation and housing shortages are pushing millions of Americans to the brink.
