It's time for Thomas to be formally investigated. Again.

Impeach Clarence Thomas. He’s not impartial and colluded with insurrectionists

Sorry for being so late with this comment. I just wanted to thank you for your constant reasonableness in the face of all the media games. I always come to you to get my compass straight again. You are a gem in a pile of rocks!

this just goes on and on and on. Will it ever end? My frustration is at an all-time high. To make matters worse, we have had our second police officer killed in the line of duty, on the same day we were saying goodby to a 35-year-old officer, who believed in serving his fellow man. He served in Afghanistan. He leaves behind and young son 3 and his wife. While the service was taking place our second officer was shot and killed and then ran over by the felon. He leaves behind two sons and a wife. The last officer killed was in Las Vegas on vacation and was stabbed to death and we have these people in Washington sitting, defending Trump and Thomas. There is no excuse for what is happening in DC. Power does corrupt and we have people like Jordan, Cruz, Graham etc. taking potshots at KBJ. We really need to clean house and get back our country! Thank you allowing me to vent. It has been a long week and it is just Tuesday. It has just a been very emotional. Thank you all for listening.

I wonder how much Republicans bashing KBJ knew about Thomas. Were they in fear of Pres.Biden having a 2nd SCOTUS pick? Thomas should have recused himself and didn’t. Now he must retire or be impeached

Unfortunately, unless and until the JD and the AG take action to uncover the truth will justice be served and faith in our political leaders and the judicial process be restored. What could be worse than knowing the truth is out there and the party we put in power was either too weak or too afraid to take the necessary steps to restore some measure of trust and faith in our government and its leaders.

As always, Dan Rather does not disappoint. Unfortunately, nowadays reporters are seen as either left or right. Will the days of feeling reporters are not objective ever come back?

Great reporting and I’m sure a lot more to come. Trump opened up all the dirt in politics and every day it gets worse. Hopefully an end to dirty politics is coming soon and we remain the greatest country in the world. God bless America!!!!

“ The half-life of outrage can be measured in nanoseconds. “

Exactly. Each time I find myself outraged, appalled, aghast, or in utter disgust, something else will be revealed mere moments later regarding the poison that is/was Donald Trump. Lately that seems to come in the form of unexplainable, obsequious devotion from people I may once have seen as, if not my compatriots, at least those who loved America and its democratic commitment. It’s exhausting.

I believe originalist interpretations of the Constitution have consistently weakened our hold on Democracy over time. Ginni Thomas, as a private citizen, has a right to her opinions but her opinions should not be driving Justice Thomas' judicial opinions. A line has clearly been crossed in this case and deserves serious investigation.

The Democrats cheated in the 2020 election! It is overwhelming Obvious. Who in there right mind would vote for Joe Biden? Look at what he is doing to this call country. I knew it was going to be bad but I never thought it would be this bad.

A fish rots from the head down... when the people entrusted with protecting democracy are the ones involved in subverting it, it's clear the rot has set in. Donald Trump is not the problem, we have known him to be the con he is, all his life. The problem is the ecosystem of enablers he has, the real "deplorables". This includes most of the GOP, so it's no longer the fringe. Republicans have concluded that they can't win elections through fair means anymore. It's only going to be through questioning elections, creating a smokescreen to run this scam and grab power. Rest assured, once they do, once Trump is back, democracy is over. The institutions have been tested once, and we found it wobbly. One more push and democracy as we know it will start unraveling.
