The second episode of Dark Money Games by Alex Gibney on HBO features journalist Jane Mayer discussing the conservative Christian agents Leonard Leo and his puppet Supreme Court justices overturning human rights, rule of law and US constitutional democracy. Some of this is based on the recent Court reporting by ProPublica. Ideal for your high school civics class.

"It's the men who appear to have let their emotions — whether it's unjustified fear of immigrants or an unwillingness to cross Trump — interfere with rational decision-making." #AmandaMarcotte in today's #Salon column
This exchange between #RichardGrenell, interim head of the #KennedyCenter, and musician #YasminWilliams, demonstrates the accuracy of her claim. She's calm; he's unhinged. It's the men (think #Kavanaugh, #StephenMiller [if you dare]) who are irrational.

#SCOTUS ruled that under #civil #RICO #law a plaintiff may seek treble damages for business or property loss even if the loss resulted from #PersonalInjury. It’s a win for truck driver Douglas Horn who was fired when he failed a drug test after taking a tincture that said it only contained #CBD.
Opinion from #AmyConeyBarrett, 5-4, in #MedicalMarijuana, Inc v Horn. #ClarenceThomas filed a dissent. Brett #Kavanaugh filed a dissent, joined by #JohnRoberts, & Samuel #Alito.
@TucsonSentinel I'm convinced people like #kavanaugh are closet homosexuals or want to be trans and hate those who have the guts to live their true lives.
Former public policy executive from #NewZealand accused #Kavanaugh's best friend #JoelKaplan and was subsequently fired. And now, #Zuckerberg's #Facebook (now known as #Meta) is trying to get her book banned. Would be a shame if #StreisandEffect applied.

#QuoteOfTheDay! From 2018!
"But for [#SusanCollins], a #prochoice #Republican, the decision to put a man accused of sexual assault on the Supreme Court runs a political — and personal — risk. For her, it comes down to believing that #Kavanaugh will uphold #RoeVsWade." SUCKER!!!

@TucsonSentinel I support this. #AZ should first test the efficacy of firing squads by trying it on #kavanaugh and other #MAGAmoron jockstraps (supporters.)

Great analogy! I immediately thought of the Catholic Church—same raw deal for its victims!
And now Brett Kavanaugh, an accused sexual predator sits untouched & untouchable on our nation’s highest “supreme” court, where he joined a notorious accused sexual harasser, Clarence Thomas.
"New in PN: "The Supreme Court is thinking about the Constitution all wrong""
Naive at best
The #SupremeCourt (read: #Alito, #Thomas, #Roberts, #Kavanaugh, #Barrett) know exactly what they are doing, which is following the specific instructions of #LeonardLeo and the #FederalistSociety
The Supreme Court is doing exactly what it's intended to do in 2024
@Marijke @skykiss of course it is. Remember he follows Nixon. "Well, when the President does it, that means that it is not illegal." That is why #PresFord should never have pardoned #Nixon and why #kavanaugh is wrong. Most of us who lived through that nightmare believe it was wrong.
There’s no actual fight against #AffirmativeAction, just a fight to rig in favor of doughy prep-school mediocrities like #Kavanaugh—straight to #SCOTUS for you :D
Career GOP dirty-trickster #Kavanaugh has ‘few fixed convictions and even fewer interesting things to say. To the extent that his colleagues think about him at all, they seem to view him as a fixer who can cobble together five votes for a diaphanous majority’ #SCOTUS https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/07/brett-kavanaugh-supreme-court-intellectual-lightweight.html
Does there exist one individual who was forced into the #MeToo club that did NOT KNOW Trump was a rapist?
But it’s nice that we have judicial clarification & permission to use the label.
Now can we do #Kavanaugh?
Is this specific Supreme Court illegitimate?
In my opinion yes. Mitch McConnell and the Republicans in the Senate made this specific court's 6 Republican members illegitimate. Here's why, McConnell:
- Blocked Obama's appointment of Merrick Garland
- Did not allow a proper hearing and vetting of Neil Gorsuch
- Blocked investigation of Brett Kavanaugh and rushed the hearing process
- Rushed the hearing of Amy Coney Barrett
- Allowed Amy Coney Barrett to have a hearing a Senate vote in spite of his argument used when blocking Merrick Garland
Regarding this specific court, here's why
- Several justices said or implied that Roe was settled law
- Several justices said or implied that the Supreme Court should not overrule a precedent
- Published and verified corruption of Clarence Thomas
- Published and verified corruption of Samuel Alito
- Clear ethics violations that would not be allowed of any other Federal judge
‘#Alito (free flights)
Thomas (free house, vacations, etc)
Roberts (wife places lawyers in firms arguing before Court for $ millions)
#Kavanaugh (who paid that credit card debt anyway?)
#Gorsuch (mysteriously successful property sales)’ #scotus
