Is the US Supreme Court still Legitimate? (Poll)

[Lesh]

Your claim of corruption has no basis in fact.
You just hate the fact a black man disagrees with you and has the power to make that disagreement stick.

Again...he is taking money from organizations that may come before him and refuses to recuse.

Sounds pretty well based in fact

Prove this to be true.

Hey we can split America in half and Dems can live in their own lands unhindered by a Constitution, laws or courts. Just say the word, you need us we don't need you corrupt rat bastards.

Indeed. If they hate the constitution, there's no reason for them to stay.

So... where's the proof that Justice Thomas is taking money from organizations that may come before him?

 

[struth]

The corruption of Thomas etc. has nothing to do with the Constitution

haqhah just because he's african-american and doesn't bend to the will of the demafascit doesn't make him corrupt.

Ya'll have tried to lynch him since the 90s

Sorry nope. Nothing to do with skin color.

Nice try at playing the race card

"would like not having it" .... HOW?

"EC is a has been policy", so therefore we will retire it .... HOW?

And no it's not my camp when it comes to "SC is illegitimate". SC was dully formed in accordance with law (even if not in accordance with not-partisan design, or congressional agreements). It is legitimate as far as LEGALITY goes.

I don't know "how"? Ask your cohorts on this board, they are the ones who don't want it.
Don't shoot me, I'm just the piano player.

His wife is taking money from them and HE benefits from that

 

[M14 Shooter]

His wife is taking money...

And thus, you admit your claim that "..he is taking money from organizations that may come before him" is false.
Thank you.
Why do you make claims you know are false?

haha of course it does. You don't attack any other justice but him...it's been happening since the 90s
The slurs included the n-word, “house n——r,” “coon,” “slave” and “Uncle Tom.”

Justice Thomas singled out for racist slurs after Roe v. Wade overturned

The social taboo against using racial slurs has once again flown out the window when it comes to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

Soon after the court handed down its decision, some pro-choice advocates began hurling outrageous and overtly racist remarks in Thomas’ direction (including liberal evocations of the “N-word” on Twitter) — often to the acclaim of some other left-aligned whites.

You need to factor in the political pressure from the president's base and supporters to appoint zealots.

I remember when Dubya nominated his WH secretary Harriet Miers, and the base went nuts, and she withdrew.

Then I also remember when papa Bush nominated David Souter, who wasn't vetted properly, and who turned out to be a Leftist.

Which was my point. We need to find a way to appoint moderates, centrists, and independent minded judges. The whole process needs to be changed.

that's an underly silly position to have.....most judges are married, many married to people that have jobs....many have other family members with jobs....to suggest someone can't be a judge because someone in their family has a job, and that organization "might" come in front of them his silly.

The fact that you pick only on Thomas for that, is telling....you don't say it about white judges or hold them to that standard

She cannot deal with the fact a black man disagree with her and has the power to make it stick.

It's Hunter not Biden getting paid millions to do nothing so clearly no corruption.

then...

Its his wife not him but clearly corruption.

The problem with these complaints against the court are always the same: utterly devoid of any semblance of standards. We all know why you think 5 justices are corrupt to the core. It has nothing to do with what they do or even how they rule. Just who appointed them.

Everything else is just post hoc bullshit to justify the forgone conclusion.

He was also, according to him, the original author of what became the PATRIOT ACT.

Seriously?

For the first time since the 1930’s, yes.

Independent minded judges never happen.
Politics has to factor in, just look at Roberts' deciding vote to save Obamacare, that made Scalia scream...
The US is hyper-partisan and getting even more so.

Taking money from an organization you are adjudicating is concerning at the very least and it ain’t just Thomas
