Matt Schlapp is a far-right operative who wears many hats. He is chairman of the American Conservative Union (ACU), one of the nation's most powerful right-wing advocacy organizations. Schlapp also runs the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) events, large gatherings featuring
Isn't this what happened to the judiciary in Hitler's Germany? Nothing the 3rd Reich did was illegal or immoral according to these judges. It all began with a dinner party.....
This article is right on time as I'm part of a group that has a meeting with senator Cardin about the SCERT bill next week! I urge other readers to contact your senators. There is not much time to get this done.
Justice Kegstand is a unfit pig, his confirmation will be remembered as the moment the Republican Senate Caucus finally disgraced itself beyond redemption. It should come as no surprise that he would want to wallow around in the cesspool with that list of fascists, racists and clowns. Maybe it's time for the Senate Judiciary Committee to vet Kav's financial entanglements and find out who paid off his gambling debts while buying him a mansion.
Along with this, what about a bill clarifying the pardon power of the president. Time to answer some questions like, "can the president pardon himself?" Can the president pre-pardon someone for future crimes or ones that have not yet been prosecuted? I'm sure there are many more questions like these.
Maybe this leaked item reveals something about who is directly or indirectly behind Kavanaugh’s debt reduction and serves as a reminder to him that his payment is coming due with the independent state legislature case.
All of this is sadly predictable. We have a conservative-dominated Supreme Court which appears to be quite openly granting access to those who support it. This has long been the Republican dream.
I was unaware that the justices of the Supreme Court had no restrictions placed on how they conducted themselves regarding their cases. It is well passed time for ALL the justices to be sworn in abiding by a code of conduct. They are the SUPREME court after all, but apparently, they seem to think they can do whatever they want. NOT. This needs to be taken care of immediately. They are destroying the reputation of the SCOTUS.
Does anyone know what the procedure is to expand the supreme court? It seems to be urgent at this point especially with independent state legislature cases threatening to end free and fair elections.
Re: the Hobby Lobby decision. I get that Justice Alito (pains me to even refer to him that way) has denied, denied, denied disclosing the decision to the Wrights but I would like to hear MRS. Alito deny, under oath, having that discussion specifically with MRS. Wright. Remember it was Mrs. Wright who was communicating with the Reverend. Anyone who thinks that judges don't discuss high profile cases with their spouses is smoking crack. And a spouse should be held to the same ethics standards as the judge.
See Thom Hartmann’s column (here on Substack)on SCOTUS lack of oversight. It’s the only court throughout all state, federal, district, municipal courts with no code of ethics. John Roberts attested they are above that standard, could take care of it amongst themselves. They hobnob with people who have cases before the court and accept free travel and holiday stays from the same groups. The current court and many before are obvious partisan entities, should be kept in check. Congress has the power to impose an ethics code, and Biden should speak in support.

I wish this type of investigative reporting had a larger and louder audience

Thank you, Judd. This is important information for the public to know. I will contact my Senators to support the legislation you mention.m
Thanks for this work. Clearly needed.

So far long overdue as to be a no-brainer. And the evil is by design

This is just sickening.
