The high court's reputation was already sullied by the right-wing majority's grotesque record of non-sensical rulings and lies told during confirmation hearings. Now its credibility may never recover from what the Thomases have wrought. Without a strict code of conduct, the court is in a sense free to be lawless.
Happy Father’s Day, Lucian. Ginni is no original thinker. She had to be deprogrammed to extract her from the Lifesprings charlatans. Being a True Believer this time around means deprogramming is useless. She and Clarence deserve each other, but we deserve neither one of the lower-tier grifters. Run Ginni run.
We can only hope and pray that DOJ grows a pair and starts actively going after and charging these political celebrities with the crimes the evidence overwhelmingly suggests these Big Lie advocates committed.
Once again the American people are seeing first hand how the law applies to the regular Joes and Jills and those “special” people in politics.
I’m no lawyer but I can read and understand a law statue and the Constitution.
As Mike Doonesbury once said “guilty guilty guilty.”

How fitting on this Father's Day that the great Woody Guthrie, who lived for a time in housing owned by Trump's vile and odious father, wrote "Old Man Trump"!
I dearly wish I could write songs like Woody, have to remain content to share the same birthday and point interested observers and change agents of legal, progressive change, to articles like Mr. Blumenthal's, etc.
Scathing lyrics, "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."
Somewhere a US Bureau of Corrections Superintendent considers what kind of hell Ginna Thomas will bring to him. Here is a woman so invested in childish fantasy. One wonders how sterile her life must be to have such a need for absurd fantasy. Judge Thomas must know that many days in the last years of his life will be spent in the visitor's room at a federal prison, listening to more insanity.
And May the Kraken pull her and her traitor friends down with her.
If these shitheads get away with this, our democracy dies.
And, btw, I wrote to Creighton University (a Jesuit school) and the Pope re: their alumnus, Ginni, and there has been NO RESPONSE. Religion apparently has NOTHING to do with character or values.
Is there anyone in the right wing crazy people section that wasn't in on the plot? I mean,there's nearly a thousand people so far, and that's only half of it.
I actually think that if we really want to look hard at this, we can assume half of Congress and the SC were actively rooting for a coup.
Our democracy is teetering, and I don't give it more than half a chance. That's why the DOJ MUST prosecute everyone involved, including people like Ginni Thomas who (even as the wife of a SC justice) is not above the law.
Prosecute every single one of them-to the fullest extent of the law, no matter who it is-Trump or Madison Cawthorn, (who isn't going to be in office much longer anyway) anyone who had a finger near the goodie box, take them down.
That's the only way we'll be able to rescue this exercise in democracy from dissolution.
I'm not too hopeful right now because it seems there's more of them than there are of us. Sad. We used to be better than this.
Happy Belated Father’s Day! Glad your household is back to “normal”.
Ginni T is a hack for the Repubs, the GQP. She just happens to be married to the only black male justice on SCOTUS, who never should’ve been there to begin with. But I digress. I would say Ginni used her influence and her money (or others $$) to write the texts and pay for transportation for these jerk-off Proud Boys and/or Oath Keepers. I will betcha that she and Clarence share checking and savings accounts and he knew what was going on. The problem with Clarence is he doesn't realize he’s not a white supremacist! See, Ginni has made him wear blinders so he just didn't know he was different. Not to upset his “bride” (as he calls her), he plays dumb. Well, he’s not all that dumb. He is, however, involved in the coup and no one can tell me he didn’t know. Ginni can’t keep her mouth shut and I simply cannot wait for her to testify to the 1/6 committee or to the DOJ prosecutors. Let the games begin!
I've said it before so might as well say it again -- all tRump and his cronies and lickspittles did for months after the election was try to overturn that election. They weren't managing the country; they didn't give a damn about ongoing problems in the economy or public health or foreign affairs. All they did was scheme and conspire to install tRump as de facto dictator, for life apparently.
All these people -- starting with Don Benito Trumpolini -- should be at least horsewhipped, tarred and feathered, and run out of the country on a rail. Where's old-timey justice when you need it?

From too big to fail we’re now witnessing too big to charge. Oh, how I hope I’m wrong.
Oh Lord, put Ginni in jail and impeach her husband, Amen.
There has to be some consequences of using her position, and her husbands in a violent seditious activity.

How do people with such obvious mental deficiencies ever get awarded college degrees, much less law degrees?

So, America wants to know, did Ginni succumb to Clarence's overtures with references to Long Dong Silver?

glad you have electricity again. missed your voice. And, happy fathers day
Shall we make bets on whether she doesn't/does show up? We can reconvene afterward and take a tally.
