Fishing? That's dull. Anybody can do that. He should have gone on the Titanic submersible.

@ProPublica It is kinda sad, but our federal government is so corrupt that I have come to expect these stories. 😒

Justice is Blind. But sometimes for a million or two it can look the other way,,,,

I recoil when reading ProPublica's Supreme Court exposés. It's like I'm reading the sordid details of sexual abuse encounters.

These Supreme Court justices have raped our constitution, rewarded their abettors (accomplices, perhaps?), bragged about their brutal savagery, revel in their megalomania, and decree that it's no big deal.

What are we going to do to stop them?

MyOpinion,

@ProPublica I think the The Federalist Society should be labeled as a terrorist organization trying to subvert our institutions.

The rightwing and it seems especially the extremist religious rightwing.. and Alito most assuredly is... have ZERO issues with the improprieties this presents and seem to seek out ways to shove it in Americas face they are above ethical standards and rules of decorum and displaying good character and judgement.

@ProPublica Here the progressive Dems were, thinking they were playing against the GOP team when, all along, the umps and referees were bought and paid for.

@ProPublica And I’m over here sweating over whether a $400 business expense is necessary and ordinary.

Appallingly .

For a moment, imagine future
Digging into this web of “bought & paid for Justices”.
I know I won’t live to read the future “ describing their infamy.
I’ll put my faith in the law, justice & the 4th Estate…as demonstrated by .

Propublica should be commended for the hard work & example of the undeniable…
Need for the 4th Estate.

subterraneanradmoderate,

@ProPublica I can't be surprised by their corruption anymore. The Supreme Court is, quite simply, for sales.
