44. Same As It Always Was

Even republicans have to recognize how bad this looks. Start out easy with some internal admonishment and nudging by the other SC justices. When that doesn’t make a dent, Crow and whoever else is bribing Clarence drop their support and make clear that it’s time to go. Next, up the ante with some stern warnings of ‘investigations’ into Clarence and his wife. Follow up with some actual investigations. He may be so fed up with the scrutiny at that point that he reluctantly resigns to ‘spend more time with his family’.
