   The thing is, it's not just American billionaires buying Supreme Court justices.

   Foreign billionaires are funding SCOTUS's public corruption too.

   Saudi, Chinese, & Russian billionaires also supply the money entering Republican elections & supporting right-wing Justices.

   Their rulings could decide the fate of Ukraine & Gaza, whether women can vote, whether POC return to slavery, or immigrants be paid for their work.

     @Npars01 too useful to give up. That's the point. They will do everything to keep them. @GottaLaff

     I hope Raskin succeeds but the billionaires who bought themselves a Supreme Court are unlikely to permit Alito & Thomas to recuse.

     The funders of public corruption will insist Alito & Thomas remain, a corrupt partisan Justice is just too useful to give up.

     Reputation be damned, the GOP's megadonors want to keep frying the planet & want their next coup attempt to succeed.
