An Amazing Coincidence! Three Conservative Supreme Court Justices Under Investigation for Ethics
By Rick Moran 10:03 AM on April 29, 2023

I am not a conspiracy monger. Readers of my work know that I take a dim view of trying to explain what happens in the world as some sort of organized or even generalized plot to discredit/destroy the right or its personalities.

The world is far too messy to be so organized about anything. But the human brain is a wonderful mechanism for ordering the world. We are born to see patterns around us; cloud formations as animals or other illusions that are beautiful but irrelevant. But just because it seems organized doesn’t mean it is.

Essentially, you can’t take outcomes as evidence of conspiracy. But isn’t it interesting that within a matter of a few days, three conservative Supreme Court judges have been reported to have ethics problems?

One helluva coincidence.

Associate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has a rich friend who likes to treat him and his lovely wife to expensive trips to luxury resorts. Would that the rest of us were so lucky. But Thomas violated the unwritten rule that justices need to act as Caesar’s wife: above suspicion.

The Nation thinks that what Thomas did is a hanging offense — or, at least, impeachable.

The fear on the left is palpable. They are throwing it all up against the wall hoping something, ANYTHING, will stick.

Comrade Bigun asserts:
"The fear on the left is palpable..."

It's not fear.
It's confidence...

Except in this case it was enemy action from the git.

Took the words....  Anyone thinking anything on geo-political front now is a coincidence is sleepwalking.

When the GOP has the US Senate again, they'll investigate the Dem appointed justices.

I'm sure the GOP House is planning a new investigation to nowhere into liberal judges.
