An Update: Well, perhaps not quite that direct but certainly, within the “politically polite” language used in DC (aka “my friends on the other side of the aisle” as they are shivving each other), a 9-0 unanimous vote against acceding to the whims of an (allegedly) co-equal Branch of government.
Supreme Court unanimously rejects ethics complaints by Democrats against Justice Clarence Thomas
The United States Supreme Court unanimously rejected ethics complaints about Justice Clarence Thomas by Democrats.
Sen Richard Durbin (D-Ill.), chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, sent a letter on April 20 requesting Chief Justice John Roberts appear for a hearing about potential conflicts of interest within the top court. The letter was signed by all 11 Democrats on the Judiciary Committee.
This after US Senators Angus King (I-ME but caucuses with Democrats) and Lisa Murkowski (RINO-AK) entered a bill to create a [weaponized Code of Ethics.
It’s clear that since the Democrats lost the majority of Justices on the Court, thanks to both Trump and McConnell, the Democrats have been FUMING that “their” super-legislature (as they appear to believe that’s what the Court should be for them rather than deciding cases according to the US Constitution and the Laws that have been passed) was taken from them. So if they can’t “have” it, they have been working overtime to discredit it and the conservative Justices as often and as hard as they can.
Thomas is always their punching bag and Kavanaugh has been similar since the Democrats on the US Senate Judiciary brought up and threw all the mud they could against him during his confirmation hearing. Now Gorsuch, another Trump appointee, is also under attack for real estate transactions (that started before his tenure on SCOTUS). Throw in that Thomas’s wife, Gigi, is been under their hammer because she’s outspoken as an unabashed Conserved as well as the wife of Chief Justice Roberts (who is no conservative but still a Republican appointee by Bush II) is under attack for ability and earning quite a bit of money as a headhunter.
This is part of their overall plan of personal destruction with discrediting the institution itself. Durbin doesn’t care as he and his fellow Democrats, as I said before, look at it differently than we do – a legislature rather than an actual court.
