    Why not investigate all of them on a regular basis, while we’re at it? They have terms for life, we should probably make sure none of them are taking bribes or are otherwise unreasonably biased on on cases they rule on.

      With such an extreme reach of power, it would be reasonable to expect little privacy in the matters of wealth and professional conduct.

    We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong

    Don’t forget: congress checking the power of the supreme court is an unacceptable violation of the principle of checks and balances, at least if you ask John Roberts about it. Luckily he’s totally unbiased on this issue.

    Hope the Dems are smart enough to frame it that all justices will be investigated, not just Thomas
