The revelations about Clarence Thomas’ financial entanglements and that of his wife have revealed that the group of wealthy people who call themselves conservatives have been grooming young people for years to be conservative court justices. They are targeted in their first year of law school and kept track of throughout their career. These people give them money, take care of their logistical and financial needs and these people make sure that these lawyers and soon to be judges don’t stray from the doctrines they want adopted. One of the things these conservatives wanted to do was to over turn Roe. What is not clear to me is why. Most of what wealthy want is to not pay taxes and to be given government hand out in the form of exceptions in the tax code for the stuff they buy. That I can understand under the premise that they are better off holding onto their money than giving it to some politician who will just waste it on things like taking care of the poor.
On Chris Hayes’ show last night they showed a painting from Harlan Crow’s Adirondack estate. Pictured was Crow, Thomas, a lawyer who helped Trump, the guy who headed up the Federalist Society and got billions funneled to him for his grooming operations and the buying and approving of justices, and lastly was the Attorney General of Georgia. Thomas was shown tilting back holding a long fat cigar. Also in this segment it was revealed that Ginnie Thomas was given an extra $25K for her non-existent job at a foundation that doesn’t exist. This on top of something like one hundred thousand.
One of the tenents of conservatism is the idea of being left alone, and “Don’t Tread On Me.” Ha. They don’t want to step on you, they want to steamroller and flatten you. I get the idea of holding onto your money and not wanting to pay taxes. Even wanting tax breaks and handouts. That’s all part of enriching one’s self. But where does the cruelty of overturning Roe come in?
To answer your question, to keep women under their foot. How did we get here? I know I have told you before but years ago while traveling to the airport on the East Coast, I was listening to the radio and heard that the way these creeps get in is by joining school boards. Yesterday a Republican announced he was running for WA state Governor. Where did he come from? He was a member of the School Board here in WA.
Another thing the Dems didn’t see coming was all the time Mitch the Bitch was busy appointing right wing justices. What were the Dems doing? Nothing. Although I am a democrat I can see these things before they happen. Problem is I have no power other than to vote. It makes me wonder why aren’t the Dems doing anything about it? If I can figure it out, why can’t the rest of the Dems. Oh yeah gerrymandering!
