Anybody Think Supreme Court Judges Are On Epstein's List?

[WiVoter]

I do.

[no_hypocrisy]

1. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

[OLDMDDEM]

2. Nothing surprises me anymore. So, yes, I think that is very possible.

[bluestarone]

3. ONE, without a doubt.

Could be interesting when his asshole religious wife discovers this.

[PJMcK]

4. Not sure

But why not? The RW justices are just as corrupt.

[chicoescuela]

5. 100%, no doubt in my mind. I believe it explains much of their behavior and "decisions".

[vapor2]

6. Maybe impeachment on the horizon but definitely the truth will prevail

[quakerboy]

42. Impeachment by whom?

The senators also likely in the list?
The congresspersons also likely in the list?

[Wounded Bear]

7. I'd say that at least 1 or 2 are on the "probable" list...

Could be a couple more, I guess. Pedophiles don't tend to wear badges to announce their proclivities in private.

[usonian]

8. It's just a matter of how many.

"Privilege has its privileges."

[markie]

9. maybe, maybe not

the problem is big money is behind all of this and the SCOTUS is protecting big money.... I don't care who goes down in this search... name, political affiliation, status,.... whatever... burn it all down

[AnotherMother4Peace]

10. Kick & Rec.

[Scrivener7]

11. Yep.

[BoRaGard]

12. Who's on the bus, Gus?

[bamagal62]

13. I'd bet money on it.

[Bettie]

14. The more overtly religious the man

the more likely they are to be a sexual predator.

At least in my experience. The ones whose lives revolve around their religiosity, well, they usually have some huge skeletons lurking in those closets.

Cough....Mike Johnson...cough.

[BeneteauBum]

59. I agree

And the louder they pontificate on the sins of immorality…….
Peace ☮️

[Lurker Deluxe]

61. more likely ...

Some speeches ... right?

my Bible tells me that if we train a child in the way he should go, when he is old he will not turn from it. So I think faith and guidance can help fortify a young woman's sense of self, a young man's sense of responsibility, and a sense of reverence that all young people should have for the act of sexual intimacy.

secularists are wrong when they ask believers to leave their religion at the door before entering into the public square, the majority of great reformers in American history — were not only motivated by faith, but repeatedly used religious language to argue for their cause. So to say that men and women should not inject their "personal morality" into public policy debates is a practical absurdity. Our law is by definition a codification of morality, much of it grounded in the Judeo-Christian tradition.

[Solomon]

62. Morality doesn't necessarily come from religion.

[Bettie]

63. Thank you!

Yes, there are moral religious people, but there are also a whole lot of people who use religion as an excuse to do terrible things because they are "forgiven" for everything they have ever done or will do.

So, they can claim morality while doing Epstein/Trump style things. Look at the Evangelicals who swear that Trump is a "godly man".

[hamsterjill]

15. Oh, yes.

I think it's three, but that's just my opinion. Will we ever know? That's my worry.

[Mblaze]

16. Clarence Thomas

AKA - Long Dong Silver

[IronLionZion]

17. They should release the list to clear their names

[evolves]

23. Those who try to hide things

usually have something to hide….

[Sogo]

18. Yes, and I posted the same question months ago.

We're on the same page....

[uponit7771]

19. Yep, people who act this much against their own interests are kompromat

[erronis]

20. I also think the Epstein "operation" was exactly to develop this type of list for blackmail.

A very "Soviet" type of operation, with obvious continuation under the putin regime.

The higher the ranking/importance of the John, the better.

Now, how does Amy Coney Barrett "fit in"?

[Hekate]

44. Amy's a Beard. As for the rest, I really thought from the start that Epstein's generosity with his plane...

… to and from DC and New York were to capture names for his list. Hillary showed up early as someone who had accepted a seat on a private plane to DC — and from photos, you can see them at some of the same NY galas. (I remember just praying, “Please God please don’t let Bill be on the flight manifest for the island” )

Ghislaine was a socialite — Epstein had the social skills. Everybody who’s anybody and has money goes to those galas. I’ll bet there’s lots of photos of those two with the high and mighty raising money for the Museum and Opera and whatnot.

So yes, I figured this for a very Soviet-style operation. Some men he hooked onto his island and that lifestyle, and some men and women he just schmoozed with and offered friendly favors to, like a ride on his jet for business in big cities. All names in his book. All in his web of influence to some degree.

[bluescribbler]

21. Kavanaugh, at least

Probably Thomas, too.

[BonnieJW]

43. Those 2 have my vote

[Martin68]

22. I rather doubt it.

BTW, I rather doubt there is an actual "list." Nevertheless, there should be plenty of ways to determine the identities of Epstein's "guests", "customers", and "friends.

[Hekate]

45. A team of good forensic investigators could do this readily

[Queso Delicioso]

24. Probably. But enough of them probably don't need the "help".

They're odious enough on their own not to need any kompromat.

[Hekate]

25. Cabinet members, at the least. Some of the Sleazy Six? Now that you mention it...

Pardon me while my body revolts

[AverageOldGuy]

26. I'd lay some odds one or more are on The List

Thomas: 100%
Beer Bong Kavanaugh: 90%
Alito: 50%

Rest of them zero.

[AllyCat]

35. Handmaid's husband might be.

[onenote]

54. Kavanaugh was a nobody during Epstein's active period.

Epstein's first arrest came in 2006. Kavanaugh didn't become a SCOTUS justice until 2018.

[The Madcap]

27. Intersect time period with age during that time and you have your likely culprits.

Not sure about Kavanaugh. He might have been too young and obscure at the time. But there are older folk who would have been more prominent then...just saying.

[EdmondDantes_]

36. Only 3 of the current justices were on the Supreme Court in 2008 with the first arrest

The only one with a clear potential link is Samuel Alito. Acosta who gave Epstein the sweetheart deal was a former clerk for Alito. But it's hard for me to make that jump given it's sadly very common for sex predators to get very light sentences. See Brock Turner or that guy from BYU who started abusing a 5 year old, etc.

There is someone named John Roberts on the Epstein flight log, but it's a common name and there's no other public connection.

[Ponietz]

47. Propriety indicates "Chief Justice"John Roberts has the burden of proof here

I wish a Senator would make the connection and publicly ask JR to eliminate himself from the association. It’s time for confrontation.

[EdmondDantes_]

56. That's a stretch in my opinion

There's nothing actually connecting SC John Roberts and Epstein and it's a pretty common name, plus there's no evidence that the person in question was anything other than a passenger somewhere, not even to Epstein's island.

[MLWR]

38. Kavanaugh was born in 1965; he wasn't too young.

"he began his career as a law clerk working under Judge Ken Starr." That would be THE Ken Starr. "Kavanaugh had urged Starr to ask Clinton sexually graphic questions,[52][53] and described Clinton as being involved in "a conspiracy to obstruct justice", having "disgraced his office" and "lied to the American people".[54][55] The report provided extensive and explicit descriptions of each of Clinton's sexual encounters with Lewinsky, a level of detail the authors called "essential" to the case against Clinton."
snip
"In December 2000, Kavanaugh joined the legal team of George W. Bush, which was trying to stop the ballot recount in Florida"
-- from Wikipedia.
He's had such a sterling career.

[BlueKentuckyGirl]

53. A tie that connects Starr to Epstein

Just read the NYT article about how JP Morgan enabled Epstein. Towards the end of the article, it mentions that Starr represented Epstein sometime around 2006 when JP Morgan was thinking about cutting its ties with Epstein over the whole sex trafficking allegations. So, a loose connection of Kavanaugh to Epstein, but still a connection.

[The Madcap]

57. Thanks for the info...

He would have been in his forties in the early 2000's. I'm just a couple of years older, but he's held his age better.

I guess vodka and whiskey are great preservatives...

[blue cat]

28. Yes

I’m betting more than one.

[Submariner]

29. Maybe Big Ginny and the Spitter

are on the list as gal pals at Epstein Island, and at a Walmart parking lot near you.

[sagetea]

30. Oh, Indeed I do.

I have talked to women/girls who were trafficked. I will never forget this one woman, who at the time was a teenager, would sit under a judges desk, and 'play' with him and nobody knew. She said this to me, totally deadpan. Maybe he exaggerated, maybe not. But, this stayed with me.

Every time, I think I have heard the worse of the worst, there is always something even worse. Is it any wonder that women would rather meet a bear in the woods?


sage

[rainy]

31. Trump could be blackmailing the ones on the list makes

a lot is sense because that would explain all their bad decisions!!!

[calimary]

46. THIS!!!

With this crowd, suspect the worst and you’re quite likely to be right.

[MiHale]

32. Of course...

[DemMedic]

33. Absolutely!

[AllyCat]

34. Thomas has a history of sexual assault already.

He certainly has the type. Roberts...someone got to Roberts so I wouldn't doubt it at all. Also wonder about spouses...in one particular instance. The more religious and restrictive, the more I would suspect someone on that list.

[Blues Heron]

37. 100 percent wouldn't be surprised if Roberts was on there

[Festivito]

39. I'm thinking of Deputy Dogg and then Turd Blossom.

It took some powerful outsiders to coverup Epstein's death.
Pubic hair Coke kidder likes Dick's in an unsporting manner.
The late scab of Originalism liked them older.
The I like beer contestant drinks enough that any age looks good around 2am.

The probability chart holds a Textualist a slight taker of advantage over Beer Bong Boi.

[sop]

40. I can see Trump nominating individuals involved with Epstein to positions of power so he could blackmail them later.

I suspect many of the incompetent and corrupt people Trump nominated to positions of power were already compromised by some unreported scandal from their past, making them easier to manipulate and control.

[snowybirdie]

41. Remember when

Justice Kennedy retired early suddenly? No illness or obvious reasons. the was a swing vote many times. His son was a trump banker as well. Trump was able to appoint Kavanaugh after this, A reliable right vote.

[Ponietz]

48. It's time for Democrats to ask this question publicly

[Ritabert]

49. Yep and I know who my suspects are.

[SheltieLover]

50. Yup

[maxsolomon]

51. Not particularly.

nt

[Mr.Bee]

52. I Would Be Surprised If They Weren't!

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220621418

[BlueKentuckyGirl]

55. Or the Supremes could be protecting those who got them appointed.

I'm thinking members of the Heritage Foundation. People like Leonard Leo or maybe Harlan Crowe.

[Hassler]

58. Creepy Clarence, Strip Search Sammy, Boof Kavanagh

[IcyPeas]

60. I mean jeffrey epstein "suicided" himself.....

if you believe that. I don't.

It's either some very high ranking people and/or what they did to some of the girls is worse than what we thought.... and there might be pictures or video.

Epstein’s sex trafficking ring went on for almost 20 years. Think of the number of girls/women who haven't come forward.

[B.See]

64. The conservative SC vermin? With

the exception of Barrett, wouldn't be surprised. Including THOMas. Remember Anita Hill?
