― Marten Broadcloak, mild-mannered GOP congressman (Raymond Cummings), Tuesday, 11 June 2024 01:06 (three months ago) link
Asked how the country can become less polarized, Alito responded: “I wish I knew. I don’t know. It’s easy to blame the media, but I do blame them because they do nothing but criticize us. And so they have really eroded trust in the court. … “
Yes, it’s the media’s fault that Clarence Thomas is gorging at the trough of free stuff while the court delays a Trump trial by slow walking a decision on presidential immunity. I blame Rolling Stone.

It’s not surprising at all but always a bit depressing to be reminded just how dumb our ruling castes are. Just fucking idiots.

not sure what you mean by our ruling classes, but I think the members of the supreme court and their spouses and enablers are much more evil than they are dumb

I suppose. It’s more their stupidity I find depressing. Dipshits all the way down. Just vapid incurious people.
Tho tbh Roberts doesn’t come off so badly in the secret recordings.

Interesting to read the National Review’s handwaving of the whole flag skirmish. I assume some version of this is what Fox is running with as well.

Alas, Schumer won't pressure Durbin to hold a hearing or to subpoena anyone, and Durbin is waiting for a magical 60 seat Dem majority in the Senate and Dems regaining the House before having a vote on a tougher ethics bill.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) told reporters that Democrats will attempt to move the ethics bill, which he authored with Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), via unanimous consent. A Durbin spokesperson said the UC request would happen on Wednesday.
