(9,130 posts)They used an Irish woman 'straw buyer' to adopt the children they wanted, take them to another country in another hemisphere where she let the Roberts adopt them from her. Back in the day when Ireland did not allow foreigners adopt Irish children.
Really wish there would be some investigation and action on THAT crime. It seems to have been what set the mood for the whole Roberts court: 'Laws don't apply to us!'

(4,002 posts)Compare Alito and Thomas to Justice Kagan who once turned down free BAGELS because they might be viewed as an inappropriate gift. ETHICS vs CORRUPTION.

(24,282 posts)I like their partnership model with local news outlets. This supports the overall reporting as well as giving recognition to the people on the ground.
I send a few bucks when I can.
Also ICIJ.org, Bellingcat.com, TheGuardian.com

A pathetic response.

(58,785 posts)I saw a WSJ headline spinning attention on the court's ethics as an attack on judicial independence. Well, to a degree it is...!
Pathetic all right.

I still wish I could see well enough to make him a Grand Inquisitor set of robes. They'd suit him so much better.

(4,799 posts)I say. They do some ACTUAL journalism, with research, which is getting rare.
I did note, however that they may have fallen for an astroturfing campaign about how offshore turbines hurt fisherman. I read (somewhere) that that campaign was fossil astroturf.
