LOL at these ranges. I’m worth between $500,000 and $20,000,000!

If we know anything at this point we know for sure the DoJ is in on it.
They have zero intention of doing anything to any republican ever.
No they wouldn’t. Openly flaunting the law is the purest expression of conservative power.

He kind of flies under the radar, but Breyer is legitimately the dumbest person on the bench and probably the least intelligent Supreme Court justice we’ve ever had. Fans of the 5-4 podcast know.

A growing chorus of officials and commentators argues that the Supreme Court has become too political. On this view the confirmation process is just an exercise in partisan agenda-setting, and the jurists are no more than “politicians in robes”—their ostensibly neutral judicial philosophies mere camouflage for conservative or liberal convictions.

So Harlan Crow paid off Kavanaugh’s credit cards, right?
I will just assume so until I am presented with evidence to the contrary.

I believe they were able to trace it back to his parents paying everything off, though no one ever came out and said it.
Somehow I would respect him more if Crow paid them off.
Sounds a bit like how I might ask questions if I were on the court.
Bootstraps! Personal responsibility!
Would you feel better if Crow bought his parents house for 3x the value and let them continue to live there for free?
I’m not saying that happened, but I can’t prove it didn’t.

That article doesn’t in any way suggest he’s unintelligent.
Quirky, sure. Annoying, definitely.
Pollack has become well-known, at least among his circle of fellow former clerks, for noting when Breyer asks such a long, ponderous question that it fills up a page or more of the argument transcript. Pollack calls them “a full Breyer.”
“As much as I and others might poke fun at Breyer’s questions, they are often very effective in helping him get at something meaningful in the case,” Pollack says.

Quid Pro Crow
It now turns out Justice Thomas was applying this theory of governance to his own life the whole time. His hostility toward disclosure laws reached all the way to the federal statute that obligated him to report many of Crow’s lavish gifts—including, without a milligram of doubt, the infusion of cash from the real estate transaction. The solo opinions ranting about the evils of disclosure requirements were, it appears, a kind of projection, a veiled defense of his own refusal to tell the public about Crow’s beneficence. Revealing these gifts would surely result in public criticism, even “reprisals” from the citizenry, in the form of speech. And to Thomas, such criticism is an intolerable cost of participating in public life; an evil so great that he would break the law to avoid it.
In the coming days, you will hear a lot of people who purport to care about the law and lawfulness and rules and the close reading of statutes explain that none of that matters because none of it applies to Clarence Thomas. The idea some kinds of people are simply too powerful to disclose what they do? That’s a self-serving argument the justice has been hatching a long time. It’s an elegant trick of history and he will profit from that, too.
