How Corrupt Is The Roberts Court? Record-Breaking Corrupt - Hate Mail

WHEN I WROTE this, early last Friday morning:

Until the Constitution is changed to reign in the corrupt Supreme Court, there will be no safety for egalitarian democratic republican government and there will be no such a thing as enduring change for the better.    It is the engine of corruption that can demolish even the emergency salvage operation mounted by the Congress after the Civil War and in the adoption of the Voting Rights and Civil Rights Acts and that rarest of all things under our Constitution,  Court led progress such as in Roe v Wade.  

I should have included one of the most blatant of Supreme Court outrages, the overturning of the bi-partisan legislation drafted and adopted after the crimes and corruption of Richard Nixon and his administration and, especially, HIS REELECTION CAMPAIGN came to light in the Watergate hearings and investigations,  the Supreme Court overturning of those campaign finance law reforms in Buckley v Valeo.   That ruling, a so-called "free speech" ruling in which the Supreme Court said that campaign money bribes such as were overtly paid to Nixon by millionaires, billionaires and so notably corporations, CAMPAIGN MONEY SPENT TO KEEP WHAT WAS UP TO THEN THE MOST CRIMINAL AND CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION IN AMERICAN HISTORY IN OFFICE,  was "speech."  If there was ever a more creative act done by an activist court in the history of that band of inventive fabricators than that I would like to know what it was.   I have noted before that in doing so the "justices" not only put such corrupt-campaign-money-"speech" over clean and honest governance,  they also created millions and billions of times more "speech" for the filthy rich and dirty corporations than they allowed for the common People of the United States.   That corruption has only spread and been made worse by subsequent courts the Roberts Court opening up our elections to an extreme level of such corruption through rulings such as Citizens United in which it was warned that not only domestic billionaires BUT ALSO THOSE IN OTHER COUNTRIES - SOME OF WHOM RULE AS DICTATORS WOULD PRACTICE EXACTLY THAT SAME CORRUPTION TO OUR GOVERNMENT.   When Putin, the dictators of Saudi Arabia, China, etc. meddled and meddle in our elections on behalf of the Republican-fascist party - notably the party of the Supreme Court majority since before the turn of the century,  THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING.   And in doing that they even out-do the Court in 1976 who issued the original corruption favoring ruling in Buckley v Valeo because they've made what was horrible far worse having seen the results of Buckley Valeo in producing corrupt government.  

The pretense of such Supreme Court "justiceing" that pretends that the Constitution is indifferent to such things as clean elections, honest elections, clean and uncorrupt government reached something of an ultimate level shortly before they turned Trump into a despot immune from criminal penalties when in the Snyder v. U.S. ruling they legalized bribes paid to politicians and others in government as long as the bribes are paid after the favor is given.   I'm not the only one who noticed that they were also legalizing the corrupt gifts and graft that have become openly routine for themselves.

Alliance for Justice Vice President of Strategy Keith Thirion issued the following statement:

“The conservative justices ruling that it should be easier for public officials to receive gifts is perhaps the least surprising outcome of the term. While claiming to be concerned with bribery, the Court has just greenlit it by allowing payments after the fact in the form of rewards called ‘gratuities.’ Given the lavish gifts we know at least Justices Thomas and Alito have received, it’s no surprise that they’re quick to defend officials’ right to receive them.”

And since then we have seen that Roberts gets such money through his wife's head-hunting job and Coney Barrett got through her two-million dollar book advance for a book which could only recoup that cost through those millionaire-billionaire mass buys of her book.  This is, beyond any question, the most overtly dirty and corrupt Supreme Court in the history of the court.   And it was plenty dirty before as even that most august member of it,  the one who John Adams said his appointment of was his "greatest gift" to the American People,  the massive holder of slaves, routinely ran roughshod over justice, reason and the lives of Black People in John Marshall's record of uniformly favoring not only slave holders but also pirates who brought kidnapped Black People into the country against the law.   And, as I did note in that list I made early Friday morning, he was joined in that by the supposedly anti-slavery "justice" Joseph Story who wrote what was, before Dred Scott, the worst pro-slavery decision in history to that point, the Prigg decision that allowed free Black People being abducted and enslaved in free states.   Given time,  I have no reason to believe that the six Republican-fascists on the Roberts Court or their Republican-fascist successors won't revive those kinds of things,  they have certainly done things as outrageous as that.
