8. "Tainting the rest of the caucus"

Are you sure that is a good phrase? What Thomas and Alito have done pales in comparison to what Abe Fortas did. My how low the Supreme Court has fallen ethically, and legally that we don't have the votes to investigate a couple of members who are bought and paid for.

Pretty sure there won't be the votes to add 4 more justices even if Dems run the table the next election then? Pretty sure there won't be the votes to create a Supreme Court Inspector General to oversee the court?

It pretty much said it all when Shrub screwed up and nominated a non-Federalist Society person, Harriet Miers to the court. Boy did they scurry to replace her with Alito.
