The Supreme Court justice used wealthy connections through the Horatio Alger Association, a scholarship organization, to benefit himself and his wife.

      I know right. It’s like the meme of “nothing ever happens” but for real. People get fired for having weed in their piss and this dude is manipulating a whole country based on who gives him the most money

    I mean I assumed what we found out wasn’t the end of his corruption and I assume this isn’t either. I don’t trust him so I’ll never know. He needs to be impeached.

      They can’t even spell shame. As soon as they get to S-H- they go I-T-Y-E-A-H-I-L-L-T-A-K-E-T-H-E-M-O-N-E-Y-F-U-C-K-E-M!!!

    These “justices” are a national disgrace and make a mockery of our justice system. They must be impeached and removed and ethics and honor restored. (This requires a 2/3 vote in the Senate which is unlikely to happen since many senators are equally corrupt and need to be removed as well.)

    I remember learning in high school about the corruption under Herbert Hoover’s administration and the entire federal government at the time. They made it out to seem like those days are behind us. The curriculum needs updating because those days never ended.

    At this point just investigate the entire SCOTUS and let the cards fall where they may. If all need removed when the dust settles, so be it.

    An oft-repeated admonition in legal circles is that lawyers should avoid even so much as the appearance of impropriety. And that’s before taking the bench. Any suggestion that any of this was done unknowingly is preposterous.

    And here I thought he slept in his camper in Walmart parking lots like he told us. Could it be that a Supreme Court justice actually lives a life of luxury?!
