27. It is such a shock

Thu Sep 4, 2025, 12:38 PM

Sep 4

to me that the Supremes have turned out to be corruptible and corrupted.

I don't know why I was so naive. I watched Clarence Thomas's confirmation hearings. I believed Anita Hill (that has not changed). But I also thought the Supreme Court had a lot more integrity than they do, even when I disagreed with their decisions.

It would take a lot of persuasion to make me think that some of the Court's justices (past and present) were corrupt. RBG, for example, I will always believe was incorruptible. I don't believe the Democrats on the Court are corruptible, at least not without a lot of proof.

To have so many justices, though, who make inconceivable decisions, just floors me.

I paid microscopic attention to the events of the Trump years the first time around. Now, even if I just read headlines, I am not shocked any more, but appalled. I can't believe I would say this, but I am glad my daughter moved to France a couple of weeks ago. It had nothing to do with Trump. Now my worry is that she won't move back her after her year at a university there ... this time because of what has happened to the country because of Trump.

More importantly, I am worried about what is happening to the country with that despicable creature in charge.
