"The Court has lurched so far rightward that Barrett’s views are sometimes moderate in comparison, but that doesn’t mean she’s liberal or will consistently work to stop Trump’s worst excesses. It likely does mean, though, that she represents the best possibility for liberal outcomes at the Court."

In a rare show of unity, all nine justices of the U.S. Supreme Court appear likely to side with a heterosexual woman in a case of "reverse discrimination." “We’re in radical agreement today” Justice Neil Gorsuch said. Read more from @USAToday
So I think it’s time that President #Biden added four more #justices on the #SupremeCourt to match the federal district court count of 13. In these four people should be someone #indigenous, an #immigrant, someone who was an #educator or medical professional at some point and someone who did not go to Yale or Harvard.
@wdlindsy I know #Biden has to be diplomatic and not call out any specific #SCOTUS #Justices by name, but we should.
There are several Justices who don't have scandals. But #ClarenceThomas and #SamuelAlito have multiple questionable benefits from wealthy benefactors who have interest in #SupremeCourt outcomes even if they aren't specifically on the list appearing before the Court. Plus both of their spouses are deeply involved in #MAGA movement BS.
It's frustrating to some extent because in attempting to avoid being bombastic, some politicians and press use general terms like "the Supreme Court" when there are specific Justices misbehaving. It happens with "Congress" instead of "House Republicans" too.
hell YA!
Biden

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas formally disclosed two trips he took with Republican donor Harlan Crow in 2019, one to Bali and one to Monte Rio, California. The annual disclosure form noted that the trips were “inadvertently omitted at the time of filing” in 2019. The only other justice to report receiving gifts in new filing was Ketanji Brown Jackson, who was gifted four concert tickets from singer Beyoncé in 2023, valued at $3,711. Read more from CBS News.
