I remember when he was nominated, I also remember mention, at the time, of his association with a misogynistic organization or society. Back then I assumed that after Bork was rejected others of his ilk would also be. It's become clear I was oh so wrong. If the latest scandals don't at least cause Thomas and Alito to recuse in all Trump, Leonard Leo, Harlan Crow and Jan. 6 cases to avoid "even the appearance of bias", it will show they really don't care.

Even though I think the trio shoved into the Supreme Court by the Orange one and his cronies shouldn't have been, if we retain the Presidency (seriously!), the Senate (kill the filibuster), and regain the people's house the solution is to expand the SCOTUS. There are 13 courts of appeals below the Supreme Court, each should have a Supreme court Justice assigned IMHO. And Joe should appoint them all!
