    Since the Constitution says that the compensation paid to SCOTUS judges can't be cut during their tenure in office, any funding cuts will hit staff, so that plan sounds productive.
    Having worked in a Democratic-led office in an otherwise Republican-led state in the past, I can assure you that's never stopped the GOP from doing the same farking thing out of spite. In fact, they perfected it.

    • Conservative justices' salaries are not their primary compensation. Cutting their funding won't touch their bribes and kickbacks.

      Add justices and save the Court.

      • I agree with this take. A lot more will be uncovered.

        but nothing will come of it, until someone gives kagan some free Kleenex and she’s shot by some right wing freak

        • I dont think this is going to go away...every time they think the heat is dying down another accusation pops up. Sooner or later it is too much.

              I don't.

              Roberts appears not to care and without 67 votes in the Senate absolutely nothing is going to happen to Clarence. It's pretty amazing that we need a 2/3 majority of one party in a two party system to get any government at all. Cause right now, we have no government.

              And what's most interesting is before GW I'd say, maybe a little after this would have been the end for him.

                  No. But so what? None of them care about any of things we go after them for but we still do it.

                  Even on the cynical end, sooner or later the corporate masters will think it isn't worth the effort to protect him. Ask Tucker Carlson.

                    I dunno. We still seem to be protecting Donald Trump. Supreme Court is massively more insulated than he.

                    • Trump Is a different animal...and they tried extricating from him and shifting to DeSantis and it failed.

                        The irony is that after 4+ decades, some conservatives are finally becoming "woke" to the fact that massive corporations (e.g., Disney) have too much legal and political power. Kinda funny when the shoe's on the other foot. It's just sad that it's taken a fascist moron POTUS and disagreement over fundamental human rights for women and LGBTQ+ to get here.

                        • Lots of opinions issued today.

                          Puerto Rico's sovereign immunity was upheld 8-1. Immigration case was decided 9-0. 2 public official fraud convictions out of NY were overturned 9-0.

                          Then there was the pork case pitting Iowa hog farmers against California voters who enacted a ban on sales of pork where the pigs are "confined in a cruel manner." California's law was ultimately upheld as not violating the dormant commerce clause, finding states have the right to set standards for goods sold in their borders so long as they don't discriminate between in state and out of state producers or otherwise impose a substantial burden.

                          But the vote was 5-4 (or 4-1-4 or 3-2-4, to an extent, depending on which part is considered controlling), with Gorsuch joined by Thomas, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Barrett. Apparently access to pork chops is what divides Thomas and Alito.

                            Thomas-Sotomayor vs Alito-KBJ was not on my bingo card.

                            • The Supreme Court declined to take up questions about the tech industry’s liability protections in two high-profile cases, effectively putting the ball back in Congress’s court to hash out whether or how to revamp the law known as Section 230.
