Is This the Final Nail in the Current SCOTUS’ Coffin?
<p>n the beginning, Thomas, Alito, and their defenders tried to tell us that it was, basically, a nothingburger. “Not enough cash value to report”, they tried to say. And, within what we knew then, they had a point, with there being very little regarding ethical standards the Court is forced to follow.</p>
<p>And yet, even then, a few of us tried to interject, “But it isn’t the <strong><em>individual</em></strong> amounts — it’s the <strong><em>accumulation</em></strong>!” But, as usual, those of us trying to be realistic got ignored.</p>
<p>But as time went on, the numbers and the values of those unreported junkets accumulated until eventually we all realized that yes, it <strong><em>was</em></strong> the accumulated amounts that make your jaw drop. But then, other news got in the way, the news cycles moved on, and I’m sure, Thomas and his “friends” heaved a sigh of (temporary, hopefully) relief.</p>
