Ginni Thomas Privately Praised Group Working Against #SupremeCourt Reform: “Thank You So, So, So Much”

In a call with donors, First Liberty Institute’s Kelly Shackelford read the supportive email he said came from Thomas.

The leader of the religious-rights group also labeled Justice Elena Kagan “treasonous” for backing a stronger #ethics code.

The religious zealots consider any disagreement with their cult to be "treason." They have NO allgiance to anything else. Governments are supposed to be the enforcement arm of their autocracy. Period.

Well of course. Most of Clarence's income comes from Nat-C billionaires.

I imagine it will be impossible to get a Justice confirmed under the current #USPol atmosphere. And a Court without ethical standards is just another branch of the political party who owns Congress.

As far as Thomas, he should be impeached in the most transparent way possible. But it will never happen in this political environment.

@[email protected] We cannot have this happening: The leader of the religious-rights group also labeled Justice "Elena Kagan “treasonous” for backing a stronger #ethics code."

Yes, an ethics code goes against their regions morals.

She's a political lobbyist and should be required to register as such. And report her income and all the gifts SHE receives.

@[email protected] "Christians against Ethics" needs to be the name of their organization.

Corrupt. A corrupt court. Arrests needed.

@[email protected] From Article III of the Constitution: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."

@[email protected] People who think backing a stronger ethics code is treasonous are probably not very ethical. LOL

I wish folks would think more about the words they read.

"religious-rights group also labeled Justice Elena Kagan “treasonous” for backing a stronger #ethics code"

How do you parse that sentence so that it make sense. ¿religious folks being against stronger ethics?? how can that be? what does that mean? what kind of religion is against ethics in government.

#democracy is more than how we vote! #election2024
