Amazing how cheap it is to buy out the highest court of the most powerful nation
This.
Every time when I read about some asshole selling out his own people its always for a few potatoes. Figuratively of course, but the reality is that you can birbe senators for low 5 figure amounts.
Maybe a gofundme-Campaign? I guess it can't be very hard to raise some measly bucks for a bribe if that's how it has to be.
My guess it there was a lot of promises for the "new permanent administration" as well.
I just can't imagine what type of person spends their entire lives studying law and justice, applying the Constitution to real life cases, etc., and is then able to just throw that all away for a few boat trips and a vacation or two...
Like there has to be malice here, not just incompetence. Thomas and Alito, at the very least, are purposely setting alight the Constitution they have dedicated their lives to and swore to uphold out of some form of anger or vengeance. It's the only explanation.
They know exactly what they are doing, probably better than anyone else on the planet given their credentials. And for what?
It's sickening.
