Are these conservatives just so arrogant in their power that they think no one can touch them? Or are they just so clueless as to actually believe no one will notice their blatant corruption?

[FixedNewsChannel]

@MarmaladeINFP - I think it's more about the lack of consequences that result in their actions. They know that while there might be a temporary shitstorm, in the end, nobody will be held accountable.

For example, if I know for a fact that I can rob a bank, although for a short time the patrons of the bank are angry at me for stealing their money, but the police and law enforcement don't care, then the bank is going to get robbed. The solution to this is the patrons start protecting their cash.

[MarmaladeINFP]

@FixedNewsChannel I'm sure you're right. There probably won't be consequences. So, why are those with power rarely if ever held accountable for abuse of their power? I understand that politicians are reluctant to hold accountable other politicians because they are all complicit in the same system of power. But why does the MSM usually let corruption slide or only mention it briefly? Where is the investigative journalism? Why isn't this on every news show? Because corporations own the MSM?

[FixedNewsChannel]

@MarmaladeINFP - Because Fox News isn't going to touch a right-winger, CNN is about as pro-corporate (whilst masquerading as centrism) as you can get and the other, sort of 'hard news' folks don't like touching stuff like this, because it makes them appear to be making the news, rather than reporting it, which I think is a bullshit, weak-sauce cop-out for flimsy-spined.

This is specificcally why"they" want to "control" the internet.

[Sandyshore21]

The truth is that our uniquely self-regulating American judiciary is, for the most part, bought and paid for. When the moral fabric of our nation's court becomes this frayed, America has gone too far down the tubes to qualify for anything other than a cesspool of corruption. This is the new tone of the courts It is seriouslly dangerous to ignore this and look the other way.

My thanks and appreciation go out to both this reporter and Common Cause. Keep up the good work.

The US AG & CA AG must investigate this bribery & conspiracy & drag them KochHeads all into CA SupremeCourt or SF AppelateCourt for questioning depositions (4discovery or inquest) as reported by Rachel. If it was an organized corporateMafia meeting they would call it a conspiracy to commit a crime... ; D

[MyRiseToHonor]

WTF!!!! Finding this out after the changes to the law!!!! WOW, I mean really, WOW!!!!

[700eyesonly007]

Thomas is also connected to Monsanto and their freak foods.

[travisn2it]

The cons probably believe they should never have to recuse

[Zlibservacratican]

Impeachment is the solution here.

[PhilipPorter]

This stinks so bad. I`m sure Beck and O`Reilly will stand up for the "folks" on this one!

Oh wait, it`s the Koch brothers, not George Soros.

[Baddassattuide]

What else can you expect from the right wing money is their God.

[FlowerClown]

Nothing new for this court.
