A discussion with Lisa Graves, the founder & executive director of True North Research, whose work has helped shape the national debate about the culture of corruption on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Thank you, Greg for the informative read. Yes, I shuddered every time they opened their mouths for I knew that the country was in peril. I grew up in the more tolerant 70’s and am aghast at all the decisions, developments and disasters that this court has hammered on the heads and torsos of the American people. My head is now spinning, as if it were a “Lazy Susan!”
The pendulum swings slowly but we democrats will rise again. Both in the courts, congress and the executive branch. I just hope that the MAGA people won’t break the system. Billserle.com.
It's absolutely terrifying what these corrupted Justices will do to this country. They continue to legalize racism. They continue with their mindset that the majority doesn't know what's good them. They continue to pass laws legalizing misogyny. They are beholden to the billionaires that put them in charge. They see the people of this country as chattel. Corporations have more rights than a human. They are using religion to control the masses. They are the enemy within.
Agent Orange will sign whatever Leonard Leo tells him to sign. That's the plan. If Leo wins this election, we won't even need to undress to get royally fucked. It's a hopeless future for everyone, except ultra rich white Christian males.
I am grateful everyday that I’m old and won’t be around alot longer, I hope. I’m grateful too I have no children or grands to worry about. Such a shame. All these things that never had to be, except for massive greed, corruption and religious extremism. The common man cannot fight those forces, as some of them can get caught up in it as well. It’s like ants protesting the manufacturing of Raid.
Thanks for this update. In addition to your following of Leonard Leo and other related accounts of the corruption in the Court, I appreciate Senator Sheldon Whitehouse’s work to bring some accountability to the Court.
On point as always, Greg. It's disheartening to see that my "lying eyes" were not lying at all, as confirmed by Ms. Graves' eyewitness account of the state of our judiciary.
And it's amazing that Cannons husband is Josh Lorence and employed by John Rosatti Trump's restauranteur mob boss friend from NY. Cannons sold her house for $175,000 out of state and bought a $750,000 house in Texass just a few weeks before being put on tRumps case. A little more than obvious Kavennaugh -Trump tactics.
So, if we needed proof that "absolute power corrupts absolutely," I think the current SCOTUS is proof of that adage. Or like the kids on 4chan would say, "Obvious MAGA corruption is obvious."
As my father ( a well known attorney) often told me “the law is no good”, it’s filled with corruption. Lisa certainly leads us on a journey to my father’s opinions.
Excellent reminder of what injustices and fuckery our courts impose on “we the serfs, cheers mon Amie!
Greg, damnit, this newsletter is Pulitzer crazy! I knew quite a few pieces of information but not about the inside job of Kavanaugh’s stealing. I simply cannot be surprised anymore. I will share what you have gathered and send it onto those who care. Our judiciary is a fucking joke, other than the three women we have on the bench! The “stench” wreaks of rot and destruction. Honestly, I feel such disdain, such hatred towards them. They must be exposed for the louses that they are.
