The one thing that is worse than having a Supreme Court justice compromised by the high profile, extremist activism of their spouse is having that Justice's colleagues and the media standing silent in the face of this obvious ethical breach. If the same recusal rules that federal judges are subject to were applied to the Supreme Court - as they SHOULD be - Clarence Thomas would have already been forced to recuse himself from dozens of cases involving issues on which Ginni has loudly lobbied. Once again, as the media takes a knee, we are left to wonder what the reaction would be if the "best friend" spouse of a Dem appointed justice was fervently spreading extremist nonsense about issues in front of the Court. Don't wonder - it would be front page and lead story until that justice resigned or was impeached. IOKIYAR.
John Roberts committed perjury during his confirmation hearing, as did Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett, when they all professed fidelity to the rule of law and belief in stare decisis. None of them believe in any of that. It's something that Antonin Scalia told us about Thomas a long time ago.
Fortas got nailed for having a financial conflict of interest. The media is ignoring the fact that Ginny Thomas isn’t just a political activist. She, and therefore Clarence, makes money from her lobbying firm which represents clients that have cases before the Supreme Court, including her BFF Clarence. Her claims that they don’t discuss her work are preposterous given how many times both have bragged about the other being their best friend, how close they are, how they agree on issues, etc.
You would think that in between their obsessing about Hillary’s “appearance” of conflicts of interest because of the Clinton Foundation or the Biden - Ukraine pseudo scandal the media could have spent just a little time informing the public about Clarence Thomas’s blatant conflicts of interest. Unlike the Clinton and Biden stories that should have been a huge scandal.
The ethics rules are simple and clear, that a judge is to avoid even the appearance of bias, which obviously includes having a spouse who is in any way associated with a case before the court. Sadly, ethics have died thanks to the GOP.
I'm still incensed that the press did not explain why Judge Jackson's reasons for sentencing sex offenders outside the prevailing guidelines were never explained to the public.
I don't think that's true. What they wanted was to keep stoking the controversy because it sells. Jackson's confirmation has been pretty much locked in since her nomination. The whole purpose of Republican grandstanding has been to compile ammo for the midterms, at which time the GOP will point to her as a Democrat appointee who is nice to child molesters.
agree that press is sleepwalking the Thomas story - but, also, what's with all the focus on Biden's "gaffe" when anyone with 3 brain cells understands that Putin should not hold power? spare me Richard Haas and Susan Page and all the other supposed foreign policy pundits. at least we finally have a President whom, when he says what he thinks, makes sense.
Because it appears to mean he wants regime change. However, we all want regime change. but understand that we aren't the ones to make it happen. The Russian people need to get rid of Putin. If NATO or the US tries, we'd be invoking WW3 and/or nuclear warfare, which nobody wants.
No Russia doesn’t have to. Us in the west need to dismantle nato and haaang Victoria neuland, Anthony blinked and Jake Sullivan plus the dem and rep politicians responsible for this. Russia is right here
The lack of attention being paid to this is astonishing. TFG has so normalized assaults on our democracy and deranged behaviour from our politicians that a story like this one barely causes a ripple in the news cycle.
Telling the truth about Clarence and Ginni would cost the Beltway media access to Republicans and Republican donors. And that, more than anything else, is what they value. Also telling the truth about Clarence and Ginni might generate so much public outrage that the Republicans find themselves forced to act, and then forced to find ways to keep Biden from filling the seat, an equally uncomfortable story for the Beltway hacks to cover.
I have always thought that they are resigned to being Centrists which is to say Republican Lite -- like that's a lane. But it's just not a valid stance anymore. Fiscal responsibility is a mirage.
This same Clarence Thomas, whose wife is an apparent seditionist, was accused of sexual harassment by reputable witness Anita Hill 31 years ago. What happened? A women of high integrity was ignored by 14 white men and a conservative judge was voted on to the court. The media's lack of accountability for the behavior of Republicans is not new but it is getting worse. The MSM's take was to look the other way in matters of relationship scandals regarding Republicans but now they are doing it when our democracy hangs in the balance. Short of some left leaning billionaires putting a whole lot of cash behind Eric, Thom Hartmann, and all progressive news outlets, I'm not sure what we do.
It's worth noting that David Brock was the rightwing hitman who was tasked with slandering Anita Hill, and in doing so he coined, "A little bit nutty, a little bit slutty," to deflect her claims about Thomas. Brock had an epiphany afterward, and started Media Matters. In his book, Blinded By The Right, Brock conceded that in order to take down Hill, he researched her allegations about Thomas' interest in porn and learned they were true, and then buried that discovery. 30+ years later Thomas is still a cancer on the court.
There was no repeatable witness. Jus like Brett k. It was fake and staged. But when u have a nominee like Jackson who’s own records and herself admits she goes light on pedos and let’s them off. Now that’s an issue. Tell me her record on them? Tell me the average percentage lower than guideline, prosectuting snd probation she goes against? U can’t cause u known nothing. There’s 60 who spent more time in jail for a peaceful walk thru the capital who committed no crime. (Trespassing but that’s not even real as the cops let them in. I know. I was there taking pics. I have them all as the cops removed barricades and said go in and waived the crowd in who wasn’t violent at all then)
Apropos Ginni, she’s been a known far right extremist since shortly after Clarence (wholly unqualified) was confirmed to the SCOTUS bench.
As for Clarence’s conflict of interest: Please, it’s nothing compared to the GOP majority’s fealty to the Federalist Society agenda, often executed by a complete disregard for precedent and the rule of law. I note Eric’s noting that SCOTUS’ rep amongst the great unwashed is fairly low and I wonder how much lower it would be were the press to report on it honestly and with proper framing. The Republican-dominated court’s hand was tipped with Bush v Gore and has only gotten far, far worse.
Many in the media had to have known for years about Clarence Thomas’s serious conflicts of interests caused by his wife’s business and political activities but chose to ignore the problem. I have heard the point made that a wife has a right to her own career in several discussions. It seems to me that might be one reason that so many have been reluctant to give this issue the attention it deserves even though Ginni Thomas’s political activism and lobbying firm are well known in DC circles. It was only after Jane Mayer’s article published in January that there was some attention given to her activities:
However even after that article most of the people I heard discussing it ignored the fact that some of her clients at her lobbying firm have brought cases before the Supreme Court so she not only supports their position, she — and therefore Thomas — makes money from it. That is as blatant a conflict of interest as possible.
The other thing the media is ignoring is that Ginny made it clear to Meadows in her texts that she was talking to her “best friend” about what she and Meadows were discussing — I.e. overthrowing the election. It is well known that both Thomases have repeatedly referred to each other as their “best friend”:
“My wife is my best friend,” Clarence Thomas told students at Stetson University College of Law in 2010. “I can rant with her.”
“I love to spend time with my wife, who is totally my best friend,” Thomas said at the Supreme Court Historical Society’s annual lecture in 2019.
“It’s his wife, it’s his best friend, his most trusted confidante, and he loves her unconditionally,” former conservative pundit and Thomas friend Armstrong Williams recently told told The New York Times about the voicemail Ginni Thomas left for Anita Hill, the former Thomas aide who accused him of sexual harassment in 1991.
“My wife is my best friend in the whole word,” Clarence Thomas said in a 2012 speech to University of Florida law students.
“It’s great to be married to your best friend,” Thomas said at a gathering of the conservative Federalist Society in 1999.
Meadows knew exactly who Ginni meant when she texted she had just had a conversation with her “best friend” about the issue — overturning our election — she and Meadows were texting about. Thomas’s vote against releasing White House records on Jan 6th was to protect not just his wife, but himself from being implicated in the effort to overthrow our government.
As I've previously written in my Press Run comments, the American mainstream media is ignoring the crisis in American democracy when it downplays the Republican Party/GOP shift toward the far right and their focus on endless "culture wars" so that their mostly white voter base will keep being angry and scared of Dems, progressives, independent women, LGBTQ, Blacks, Latinx, Asians, atheists & Non-Christians because they're threat to the "American way of life."
The MSM have also ignored the lack of actual foreign, economic, social & environmental policies being proposed by the Republican Party/GOP aside from those that will enrich their billionaire donors (e.g. tax cuts for the super-rich, cuts on various social services).
Also blacks and esp Spanish and Asians have deep religious and conservative values. I’m from the ghetto I know. Come to my neighborhood if U dare. Come see. But ur racist azzzz wouldn’t ge tout of them car
Latin people hate u and the fake term LATINX. Less than 5% ever heard of it and less than 3% like it. Once again whote liberal Americans telling other cultures and races what and how to think
MSM refuses to see the forest for the trees. Pardon the ageism, but these reporters don’t know what they don’t know historically. Is it that they know nothing about our history pre TFG? We boomers who were born at the end of WWll lived thru the Cold War that came after, particularly the threat of nuclear holocaust. Today, Ukraine is being decimated by Putin. When will the msm draw the through line that begins w/the breakdown of US norms and the rise of autocracy? The Thomases are among the elitist class on the right. Neither is being held to the ethical standards that were the norm before some of the msm were born. The Rs play in the swamp. With delight and impunity. I shake my head every day at the news. My heart sinks at the blinding chutzpah with which the msm operates.
Ukraine is being saved by Putin. U know nothing about ukriane. U couldn’t answer 5 basic questions about ukriane and I’ll bet u any amount of money on it
We’re all so screwed. When our “Free Press” starts spewing that “truth to power,” “Fourth Estate” and “First Amendment” I just believe any of it anymore. Do they?!
Calling it treason is a bit of a stretch and a tiny bit hyperbolic.
Biden's statement will blow over, mostly because so many people agree with it, including the Republicans. I was more alarmed and incensed by reading that the press not only dutifully reported the "drop to its lowest point" of Biden's "approval rating" but that the NY Times and the NY Post have resurrected the "Hunter's Laptop" story. It seems Darryl Issa wants to start an investigation in hopes it will damage the Democrats in the midterms.
Which brings us back to the fact that the GOP depends on crumbs and scraps to serve up its rancid feasts to the voters, and that the media loves to help.
Once again the corrupted DC Press Corpse is locked in "Both Sides Do It" mode and nobody exemplifies that more than Bob Woodward who was enough of a wimp to say that on Morning Joe. Even after he got smacked down he still continues with it.
Bob Woodward accused both the Republican Party & Democratic Party of having members with extremist leanings.
Anyway, Woodward is sorta coasting on his reputation from Watergate.
I'm sure he's written good to great articles and books based on a decades worth of experience as an investigative journalist.
However, he somehow doesn't get there's a big difference between the Republican Party/GOP shift towards the far right and the increasing presence of more diverse & progressive members in the Democratic Party.
I bought his latest book only to become furious when I saw that he knew some potentially illegal and insane stuff Trump was doing and saying, and saved it all for inclusion in his book. I lost a lot of respect for him.
Any non partisan group from pew to any other shows the right moves towards the center and the left moved more radically. Also all show the average American now identifies as center right. Again. Facts destroy u. Go look it up
That the diseased streetwalkers who comprise our major media are burying this story is the biggest surprise since Captain Renault's shock at gambling at Rick's Place.
By the way, all you need to know about the media is this. Certainly, the Oscars are a big local story for the LA Times. But if you go to their web page, the entire top is taken up by the slap heard 'round the world, and you have to scroll down considerably to reach the decision by the California federal judge saying Orange Hitler probably committed crimes.
Because America supports trump. How many left wing sources are talking how more democrats and Clinton people and FBI agents have been indicted for making up Russia hoax than any one on trump circle combined? And there’s atleast 10 more indictments coming. Hillary’s lawyer trial is starting soon. FBI agent already pleaded guilty and admitted he changed and altered federal documents cause the documents proved there was no collusion so he changed them. And the fake Russian source has been arrested for making it all up to Christopher Steele, a spy from Europe who the rnc hired to make up dirt on trump. This is well documented in Biden’s own doj and court documents. Funny ur quite on that
Since you have to subscribe to be able to comment, I think it's great that you are giving money to Eric Boehlert, who regularly shows that the media and the sheep who believe them, especially those who believe the right-wing media, are the enemies of the United States Constitution. As is anyone who votes republican.

and Chief Justice Roberts crows that SCOTUS needs no oversight bc politics plays no role
John Roberts committed perjury during his confirmation hearing, as did Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett, when they all professed fidelity to the rule of law and belief in stare decisis. None of them believe in any of that. It's something that Antonin Scalia told us about Thomas a long time ago.

And waste ‘time’ wherever they can, imo…

oh DC press loves a good gaffe—bit only Dems can be guilty
Our president was superb and the msm can’t stand it.
EXACTLY THIS!! I don’t understand why the press is acting like Biden said something that, to me, seems like common sense.
Because it appears to mean he wants regime change. However, we all want regime change. but understand that we aren't the ones to make it happen. The Russian people need to get rid of Putin. If NATO or the US tries, we'd be invoking WW3 and/or nuclear warfare, which nobody wants.
No Russia doesn’t have to. Us in the west need to dismantle nato and haaang Victoria neuland, Anthony blinked and Jake Sullivan plus the dem and rep politicians responsible for this. Russia is right here
I'm sorry, I don't respond to trolls. Fuck off.
Great point. I didn’t see it that way. And you’re right. Goodness, nobody wants/needs WW3.
Only trump did that. Nothing Biden says on coherent. Hence he is the lowest polling president and Vice President ever
The lack of attention being paid to this is astonishing. TFG has so normalized assaults on our democracy and deranged behaviour from our politicians that a story like this one barely causes a ripple in the news cycle.
normalization is the key
And moving the Overton window - AGAIN :/
It's not astonishing at all. The GOP has learned that there are no repercussions for anything.
U mean the dems? Jays why I walked away from the left. They normalize pedos and sex Chan he’s for 5 year olds
Telling the truth about Clarence and Ginni would cost the Beltway media access to Republicans and Republican donors. And that, more than anything else, is what they value. Also telling the truth about Clarence and Ginni might generate so much public outrage that the Republicans find themselves forced to act, and then forced to find ways to keep Biden from filling the seat, an equally uncomfortable story for the Beltway hacks to cover.
I honestly think journalists just don’t like making GOP feel uncomfortable
So is that on the journalists or the Republicans? Takes 2 to tango?
I have always thought that they are resigned to being Centrists which is to say Republican Lite -- like that's a lane. But it's just not a valid stance anymore. Fiscal responsibility is a mirage.
I didn't mean jounalists, I meant WaPo, NYT, etc
They have been conditioned to believe that if they do, it's because of librul media bais, not because Republicans are corrupt.
And they’ll get that specific ‘attack’…
😔

So damn frustrating, is the collective effort of the destruction of our democracy even deeper than we know?!
good Q
Rome collapsed due to apathy and we're on that same path.
I've believed that to be true since 2015-2016.
Makes one wonder. TFG contaminated all three branches and the msm has aided and abetted him.
