Can we just declare this whole circus of a court is compromised and beginning investigate for removal?

Whole fucking trip as reward to kill a bunch of real people and to “protect” a bunch of imaginary people.

If this is not a clear case of conflict of interest, I don’t know what else to call it.

They can’t be expected to make law for other to follow while they, themselves not following any of it.
It seem likes they think they’re above the law or something.

Hey, I was a REAL clinic escort for years. We were next door to a fake clinic.

And has been, for a very long time, ever since the Federalist Society got their meat-hooks in.
Certain members of the SCOTUS can no longer be bothered to hide their own corruption, and why should they? They know they won’t be touched.

If I invite an academic researcher from a federal agency like NIH to give a lecture, they aren’t allowed to get their airfare, room, or food paid for. NIH researchers have to pay for everything, because even a free meal from a colleague is considered an ethical violation due to the potential appearance of corruption.

How have we created a society where those with the most power have the least accountability?
