Having worked for a circuit judge, I truly feel embarrassed at the overwhelming appalling behavior of Cannon, Thomas, Alito, et al. What happened to avoiding the appearance of impropriety? Upholding the integrity of the Judiciary? Disposing of matters promptly, efficiently, and fairly?

The Heritage Foundation, Donald John Trump, all the other radical right wing white christian nationalists, along with assorted dixiecrats turned republicans is what happend. The south is rising from the primoridal ooze, and it ain't purty.

I'm in a conservative part of California and can attest that the South is by no means the only problem. It's thanks to seriously misinformed and, frankly, mean-spirited people THROUGHOUT the land that we get Houses of Representatives such as the one we're currently stuck with. Well, that and misconduct around redistricting in certain states. MAGA-like attitudes shouldn't really account for more than 20% of a population in a reasonably functioning democracy. We are well beyond that, with no foreseeable path back to normalcy.

Well, I guess they have a point about some things, like lax prosecution for shoplifting that leads to organized grabs of large amounts of lower-cost merchandise valued in the thousands of dollars and a sense of impunity among the thieves. They also complain about corruption, which is great, but they don't seem to understand that so many people around Trump and appointed by Trump were extremely corrupt, not to mention Trump himself!

Cannon I think will be removed at some point. Thomas and Alito are beyond imagining.

To say nothing about the 5th circuit. Yikes!
