Where to begin…OK, first the three GOP appointees perjured themselves by lying to Congress at their vetting interviews. Second they accepted millions of dollars of (potential) bribes without reporting that income or following their own ethical reporting rules. Third, they eliminated the equal rights of all Americans by deciding that private business owners are free to refuse their goods or services to any citizen based on any bias they hold. Fourth, they struck down Affirmative Action which–in its own stilted way–tried to force universities to favor blacks over others–all else being equal. It’s ironic that the country is considering “reparations” for slavery in the 1800’s while reversing a plan that was designed to help the African-American community today. We suppose that means we’ll pay for past transgressions but we’re not about to help future black generations to improve their lot. This court is an embarrassment. Congress is now investigating ethics issues but has little hope to bring about corrective measures.
We suggest that every case addressed by SCOTUS in the last 20 years be reviewed. Mega-donors should be matched to court decisions and SCOTUS justices correlated to those donors. In other words, how many times has Clarence Thomas, John Roberts, Amy Coney Barrett or any other justice been linked to a mega donor issue before the court and how have they voted? Secondly, the tax return of every justice should be audited to determined whether any reportable income was omitted. Third, any criminal act found and attributed to any justice should result in full investigation, indictment–if appropriate, trial and conviction with the “perp” removed from the bench. It’s time to clean up their act. A trust level of less than 50% among Americans is totally unacceptable. We rightfully expect more from our conduct than we have witnessed from the highest court in the land.
