    TIL Clarence Thomas’s support was ever a measurable distance from zero.

      he has support.

      I believe they call it “product support” or “customer service” because he’s bought and paid for… but he has “support”

        Yes, but the clients who actually benefit from his decisions are a negligible fraction of the total population.

    I’d love to see the before John Oliver’s resignation/retirement offer and after. A lot of media attention came for his blatant corruption after that ingenious bit.

    It’s strange to me that there are still 9% of Democrats who have a favorable view of Thomas. He’s always been a piece of shit, we just have the receipts now, and if they still think he’s OK, it makes me question their grasp on reality.

      I doubt that 91% of Democrats even know anything about him. I think there’s random guessing involved.

        We watched his confirmation hearings live on TV when I was in high school.

        It was in my French class, and it was because my teacher was an outspoken feminist, but she was also right to have us watch them.

        More know about him than you think. It was huge huge news at the time.

    The more interesting part to me is that he’s also losing some republican support too

    The justice saw a 10-point dip in support from Republicans as well

      Even if he’s doing their dirty political work, there’s at least some nonzero number of Republicans out there who care a little about legitimate out-and-out corruption and bribery.

    “Someone put their pubes on my coke can!”, shouted an idiot with no judicial experience who became a supreme court justice.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
