Justice for Hire - SCOTUS

It's alright PB, I accept your defeat no matter how in graciously you depart the conversation. Maybe one day you can repeat a social studies course, learn the definition of democracy and come to understand we vote in elections in this country. Idiot

You have never defeated anyone.. unless it's a battle of the skidmarks.

Retard.

The statement contains a few inaccuracies:


- Supreme Court Justices are not direct appointees of the President. The President nominates them, but they must be confirmed by the Senate.
- Members of Congress cannot be recalled by their home state, at least not under federal law. Some states have recall provisions for state officials, but not for federal officials.
- While it is true that both the President and Supreme Court Justices can be impeached, the process for each is different. The House of Representatives drafts articles of impeachment for both, but only the Senate can hold a trial and remove the President from office. For Supreme Court Justices, the Senate serves as both judge and jury.

It's a common enough mistake for the uneducated like Seran.

Your extreme coping lately has been fantastic. Not for you, but for everyone else reading it.

The arrogance and lack of self awareness behind it while still being wrong and stupid 100% of the time just makes it all that much better.

Seran, my dude. It's so easy to just paste your word salad into chatGPT and it'll help correct all your retarded "thoughts".

You should do this with every post he makes just for keks.

Retard.

He has also defeated every retard who has ever posted here before him, so badly that he made Backlash look like Stephen Hawking.

Justice Alito is taking his turn for both failing to disclose a prior six figure gift from a wealthy conservative individual which had business before the Supreme Court. Justice Alito could have saved himself a lot of trouble disclosing the massive gift, but now he's defending himself in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece trying to downplay the gift, his relationship with the billionaire and trying to difusd the implication he's been bought and paid for.

Justice Alito accepted Alaska resort vacation from GOP donors, report says

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito accepted a 2008 trip to a luxury fishing lodge in Alaska from two wealthy Republican donors, one of whom repeatedly had interests before the court, and he did not disclose the trips on his financial disclosure for that year, ProPublica reports.

A story published late Tuesday by the nonprofit investigative journalism organization states that in July 2008 Alito flew to a remote corner of Alaska aboard the private plane of businessman and Republican donor, Paul Singer. A hedge fund founded by the billionaire has brought roughly a dozen cases before the court since then, ProPublica reported. Alito did not recuse himself from participating in any of those cases.

Alito’s three-day stay at the King Salmon Lodge was paid for by another wealthy donor, Robin Arkley II, the owner of a mortgage company then based in California. Leonard Leo, then a leader of the conservative legal group The Federalist Society, helped make arrangements for the trip, including securing a spot for Alito aboard Singer’s jet, which would have cost Alito at least $100,000 if he chartered the jet himself, ProPublica reported.

When travel such as this happens it’s billed under a SIFL (Standard Industry Fare Level) rate. The company providing the flight will send the passenger the tax bill for this. So it’s not a huge secret as Alito reported it on this tax return for that year. I would link you some information on SIFL so you can educate yourself, but feel that will be a waste of my time to do so.

That would mean that ProPublica would be purposely leaving this information out to publish a "GOTCHA!" story on a Conservative Justice.. which makes no sense, since ProPublica touts itself as a "ProPublica is an independent, nonprofit newsroom that produces investigative journalism with moral force. We dig deep into important issues, shining a light on abuses of power and betrayals of public trust — and we stick with those issues as long as it takes to hold power to account."

Oh wait.. they only do anti-Republican and pro-Democrat pieces...

So weird.
