I wonder why #Republicans are doing everything in their power to block a Senate inquiry into Republican Texas billionaire Harlan Crow and conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo bribing and owning #GOP puppet #SCOTUS like #ClaranceThomas?

It’s no secret that the #RepublicanSCOTUS are entirely compromised and corrupted.

@bigheadtales it's funny because if the inquiry is being blocked, then in the inquiry hasn't happened, so we don't know the results of the inquiry.

This conspiracy theory stuff is really unpersuasive.

@volkris
We don't know the results. Correct.

Why block the inquiry?

Suggesting that nothing could possibly be wrong because an inquiry hasn't been concluded is highly unpersuasive as well.

Given the evidence to date, it's difficult to imagine that millions of dollars in trips, gifts, and preferental deals have no effect on the judges that are making dubious rulings, especially rulings benefitting their benefactors.

@bigheadtales The thing is, Supreme Court opinions are public. We can see the justices getting together, checking each other, writing down the reasoning of their rulings.

It's not difficult to imagine that these accusations of bribery are bunk when we can look at the rollings for ourselves and see that there's no bribery involved in the reasoning.

The Supreme Court is not a legislature. Their rulings are not arbitrary. They're not subject to being skewed by money.

2 + 2 = 4 regardless of the personal transactions of the people doing that math.

@volkris I would suggest that you take a closer look at some of the rulings since the #Republicans installed their Federalist Society supermajority, and especially some of the decisions made in Shadow Docket.
