Clarence Thomas is bitching, saying the public’s trust in SCOTUS has been damaged by a ‘leak.
No, Justice Thomas, public trust in the court has been hemorrhaging for decades, starting with its blatant interference in the 2000 election between Al Gore and George W. Bush. This was followed by Mitch McConnell’s unconstitutional and unconscionable blocking of Obama’s nomination to the court for nearly a year while rushing through a Trump nomination in six weeks.
It’s hemorrhaged trust by the conservative members’ abuse of the “shadow docket,” effectively overturning Roe vs. Wade by allowing Texas to implement its extreme abortion law without holding a court hearing addressing Roe vs. Wade.
Trust was further eroded by the revelation that Justice Thomas’s wife played an integral role in the efforts to overthrow a duly elected Democratic president.
No, Justice Thomas, the leaking of the draft opinion is the least of the court’s trust problems.
BTW, you ever watch the smirk on a Pub’s face when you mention McTurtleface’s theft of Obama’s SCOTUS seat, followed by his rush job of Dotard’s nominee?
Sliminess, personified. But it’s fine with ‘em, when they do it….
