20. Cowardly republican appointees on the Supreme Court. As a lawyer, I am ashamed of the highest court.

I am ashamed that the SC doesn’t have the same code of ethics that the State of New Jersey imposes upon me. I am ashamed that Clarence Thomas and his wife flaunt court decorum and speak at overtly political right wing organizations. I am ashamed that Alito doesn’t have the sense to think Citizen’s United wouldn’t attract foreign investment and interference in our elections. I am ashamed that the Republicans on the SC would think it matters whether someone who is transgendered wanted to lay down their life for their country or fellow serviceman. I am ashamed that someone could rant,rave, and blatantly lie during his confirmation hearing like Kavenaugh did. If I acted like that in court I would have ethics charges lodged against me for unprofessional conduct before the court. I am ashamed of the majority of members of the SC. The first thing Dems should do after winning 2020 is start an investigation into Kavenaugh’s perjury during his confirmation hearing then begin impeachment proceedings. If that didn’t work, pack the court with Dems, if possible. We need to right this ship and it starts with targeting Fox and going after the SC.
