For colleges and libraries seeking a big name for a guest lecturer, few come bigger than Sonia Sotomayor, the Supreme Court justice who rose from poverty in the Bronx to the nation’s highest court.

Looks like Federalist Society conservatives are desperate to find anything untoward they can pin on liberal SCOTUS justices after revelations of a bribery scandal with Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch.

Staffers asking college libraries to buy Sotomayer’s books is some weak sauce in comparison.

    Biden withheld $600 of promised COVID aid when Georgia went to the Democrats.

    The messaging went from $2000 checks to “Finish the Job” and they pretended that they’d promised to just tack on $1400 dollars instead. They withheld our own money form us.

    But they found $100,000,000,000 to send to another country’s war.

    So, no. I don’t buy it.

      … well, for one thing, your numbers are a little bit off there. The US is sent about $75 billion to Ukraine, not $100 trillion.

      The aid check situation sucked, but that was very much a congress problem caused by the most conservative Dems (one of whom has since left the party).

      More to the point, I feel confused by your answer: what is it that you don’t buy? You genuinely feel there’s a moral equivalence across all politicians?
