NYT drops the hammer on Ginni Thomas with scathing report on her political activism

[Joinfortmill]

From NYT and reported in Alternet: https://www.alternet.org/2022/02/ginni-thomas/?utm_source=&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=9885

“...For the three decades he has sat on the Supreme Court, they have worked in tandem from the bench and the political trenches to take aim at targets like Roe v. Wade and affirmative action. Together they believe that ‘America is in a vicious battle for its founding principles,’...Her views, once seen as on the fringe, have come to dominate the Republican Party. And with Trump’s three appointments reshaping the Supreme Court, her husband finds himself at the center of a new conservative majority poised to shake the foundations of settled law....the Thomases have found their moment.”

1. Does this not violate some law?

Or only "norms"...

I've read the Judicial code does not apply to the Supremes.

Go figure.

2. For the elite, it is all just a voluntary honor system.

The laws and rules are just for the great unwashed.

[cilla4progress]

3. Yep.

It is expected they will appropriately self-govern.

Like President.

Their whole game is get rid of the rule of law so they can run rampant....

It's so obvious!

[Irish_Dem]

4. Makes me wonder how much quiet corruption goes on.

The kind we never hear about.

9. Oh gawd...

tons, I'm sure.

Always has and always will.

But there are Dems I definitely trust - Biden, Obama, Sherrod Brown, Bernie.

My 2 women senators, Murray and Cantwell and SC Justices.

In it for the right reasons.

I believe the Republican party rn is a wholly owned Putin subsidiary.

Gotta get rid of that guy!!

[Irish_Dem]

16. Yes I agree on the good guys.

And I agree that the GOP is owned by Putin.

11. The rules don't apply to the elite.

The sad thing is that nothing will probably come of this, even if Ginni was implicated in the insurrection. It's like the rules don't apply to the MAGA crowd.

5. Leave it to the NYT to take 30 years to report a Republican scandal. nt

7. How did the NYT manage to take a break from the non-stop Biden-bashing?

I'm sure things will be back to normal, tomorrow.

[Orrex]

8. Tomorrow they start blaming Biden

12. Oh my

Sara Palin vs NYT could get interesting on appeal.

[DVRacer]

18. No she lost at trial

It was filed for appeal it has a way to go but I suspect it will eventually end up in the Supreme Court.
