to do with the case at hand. i mean, he sent a shot over th bowel shocking to many lawyers against the bide administration, suggesting the biden administration would not have essentially followed supreme court decision if it had been made on the merits. just a little bit shocking so therefore a little bit no surprising that justice thomas didn t just sign his name to what justice alito said, jus interesting and not normal o usual, and another example o justice alito in the past he sometimes broken with decoru that is considered normal fo the court. but what they said, and we kno where they stand ideologically i think would be silly to sa we don t but certainly one of the thing that justice alito said wa look, it wouldn t really hur anybody to just let the circui opinion stand because it jus

watch this he has built an administration based totally o wedge issues and hatred, and trump is eating his lunch. he s racing to the bottom an he s losing it and i think this whole thing i the biggest fairytale i ve eve seen i think the guys has neve taken a punch. and trump is shown you can tak him apart pretty easily. it basically said the democratic party didn t spen enough money in florida, charlie crist wasn t a great candidate, and ron desanti wasn t all he cracked up to be and people in florida are just not that psyched about him well, look, i think the big problem desantis hands, an during the pandemic a lot of people were satisfied with his leadership we know a lot of people move to florida the state was open schools were open. and certainly he can take some credit for that. he did and that s one of the reasons he got reelected b such a wide margin but since then he has been s obsessed with these cultur wars he has been so obsessed with the idea of out trump in trump
so i think that that s one big discrepancy that needs to be addressed. just so you know, with regard to legislative branch officials and members of congress, you know, we re not allowed to receive gifts above, i believe it s $50. i forgot the exact flthreshold amount that s an issue we have to deal with i think people are going to question the integrity of the judgments and opinions that are rendered by justice thomas and others what did harlan crow or his associates get in return for these lavish gifts there might have been millions of dollars of os of cruises, ane things others with matters before the court went along on these trips.
thomas didn t report it. even though a federal disclosure law requires an official to disclose details of most real estate sales over $1,000 are you and your colleagues at all having conversations about some form of congressional oversight or ethics reform for supreme court justices yes this comes up fairly often now i think the drum beat is louder and louder. first of all, even within the judiciary, it appears that there are different standards that apply to supreme court justices versus lower level judges. in this sense, which is the supreme court justices need to disclose when they receive gifts. in this case, justice thomas didn t even bother doing that. for lower level justices, they are judges, they are not even allowed to receive gifts above a certain amount and yet supreme court justices are.
