HAS THE SUPREME COURT LOST ALL CREDIBILITY?

[MaryH]

Is the court now just a pawn of the Right Wing?

I think Scalia is a sleezeball. Could he he be a mob boss on the side? And Clarence Thomas is just plain repulsive.

1. YES

I don't know how they will ever earn it back either.

[Warpy]

6. I do

Scalia is the poster boy for conflict of interest. Not only has he accepted favors from Cheney while Cheney's case was pending, his son was arguing for Bush during the 2000 election fiasco and ruling that tossed the election to Bush.

Thomas's wife was vetting cabinet candidates for Bush during the 2000 election fiasco.

Both these guys should have recused themselves. They didn't, and that leaves them vulnerable to impeachment and removal

Rehnquist lied during his confirmation hearings. That's ancinent history, and provides less grounds for impeachment at this late date.

Getting rid of the two dirtiest members of the USSC would be a start toward restoring it to the nonpartisan body it was always meant to be.

2. That must be a rhetorical question

"Yes" is the rhetorical answer.

3. Is the Pope Catholic?

I thought this was settled 3 1/2 years ago.

Now they've just confirmed it beyond a shadow of a doubt is all.

Enemy combatants my a$$

4. Yes! But

they lost it with me back during the election 2000 fiasco.

[bowens43]

5. It lost all credibility when it agreed to hear the 2000 election case....

[Fleshdancer]

7. They lost all credibility when they decided to choose the POTUS

What they did today was add insult to injury.

[tjwash]

8. "Lost?" They never had any to begin with.

9. They lost back in 2000

When they decided that counting votes in Florida was unconstitutional.

10. Bush v Gore -- 2000

almost 4 years ago.

[tom_paine]

11. Yes. We don't even have a "Supreme Court" in my view, anymore

We have a Judicial Arm of the Coup, like in Syria, Iran, or any other of the Third World Nations who's group we now belong to.

We sure don't belong to the Free World anymore.

[donsu]

12. yes, supremely corrupt
