My apologies, but I decline to argue this point. Whether Thomas (or any other Justice) is a good person or correct in their rulings isn't germane to the point I'm making.
Of all the currently-service Justices, the only one who has deviated from the perspective of the President who appointed them would probably be Roberts - and that statement is mostly based on a single ruling. It's not like he's well-loved by the left.
- woooooo 2y agoI was responding to a comment saying that lifetime appointments prevent bribery. Justice Thomas is proving the theory wrong. Why should I believe his decisions are about principle when money is changing hands?
- Ancapistani 2y agoAh, I agree with you there. I see no way lifetime appointments change the incentives around bribery. That sounds like an impeachment issue to me.
