The Supreme Court’s Republican bias hangs over the Trump immunity case But precisely because the court has arrogated itself so much authority, it is always in danger of squandering the legitimacy of its claims, especially when it acts with exceptional arrogance or in a blatantly partisan way. As members of its 6-3 conservative majority ponder how and when they will rule on Donald Trump’s absolute immunity claim, they should understand how much they have already done to paint themselves as instruments of the Republican Party and the political right. They have created a crisis moment. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/05/05/supreme-court-republican-bias-trump-immunity-case/

What a delicate little snowflake.

What a delicate little snowflake. Or, honestly, even just not a SCOTUS justice. Don’t get me wrong, the information that has come out about him and his wife justify a lot of public scorn, but being one of nine justices on the high court makes you a public figure, like it or not.

He needs to go, ASAP. He's the poster child for compromised ethics to be very kind.

Don’t get me wrong, the information that has come out about him and his wife justify a lot of public scorn, but being one of nine justices on the high court makes you a public figure, like it or not. Public figure or not, the level of the appearance of having been compromised, at a minimum, should be disqualifying and is far higher than that of the average citizen that isn't responsible for shaping our society. I couldn't care less that he's upset. I very much do care that he's been allowed to keep his position. If a regular person like myself had brought that level of reasonable scrutiny upon my employer or had contributed to the public's distrust of my employer to this degree (or, realistically, to any degree), I'd be fired tomorrow. He was supposed to hold himself to a higher standard and, clearly, he hasn't. Yet, he's being treated as though he has and deserves the benefit of the doubt. He doesn't. He needs to go.
