I saw some talking head interviewing Thomas and the reporter asked him how he felt about the fact that the court's reputation is so abysmal. Talk about vomit-inducing and hypocrisy! I can't even remember what the jerk said now since I was too busy yelling at the TV.

to spend on an investigation? Roberts planned this all out so he had talking points "We looked & looked
under every stone but couldn't find anything". Notice he didn't say "We'll be handing this over to the
DOJ to get to the bottom of"?

Simple fact no Judges or their spouses were interviewed tells me Roberts told her what to say.
Maybe time to look into Roberts and his hand picked sidekick.

No principals or key witnesses were interrogated, no leads were followed. It was just a whitewash.

of this but the investigators NEVER interviewed the 9 justices. And even with this glaring omission the report still received confirmation/approval from Michael Ch????(can't spell name).

As I understand it, the court made a decision and someone on the inside leaked to the media how they voted just before they made the decision public.

Is it the spotlight they felt they were robbed of or did it undermine the Supreme Court at it's core? It is something in between? I can see how the Chief Justice may have been miffed, but I don't see how this chipped away at democracy.... like Robert's court has.

They like playing the victim and they wanted sympathy and media focus on them instead of their ruling. It was all a game from the beginning.

Just done by Extreme Court Marshal. Not FBI, not any law enforcement with forensic capabilities, esp. digital.
Marshal answers to the court and did just what they wanted.
My money is on Alito or Ginni Thomas.
