The cancer of money in our politics is much deeper than just a handful of corrupt Democrats; they're also now blowing up President Biden’s effort to put America back together and save American lives
If money = speech then speech has been quantified. Since we all have varying amounts of money, some of us have more speech than others.
This is not free speech.
"Free" implies equal, but our contemporary corporate riddle-writers have truly shipped their souls smithing the notion that somehow, someway our freedom of speech is measured in dollars.
I guess they were right all these years - freedom really isn't free.
I'm fortunate to be with such good company here in Thom's internet oasis. Thank you for your kind words. I am, and forever will remain, "not-for-hire".
My Medicare Advantage plan with Kaiser Permanente has extremely cheap pharmaceuticals'. Thom needs to invite guests from Kaiser Permanente on his show!
In poker, any hint of denial is an obvious tell unless the opponent is using reverse psychology, which is a more sophisticated tactic beyond the reach of these fanatical dunderheads in robes. What you see, is what you get: a court packed full of wingers and whackos.

"Too many white men suffer from irrational fears and deep-seated insecurity — and the social consequences are dire [...] But there should be a social price for bad behavior, and mockery is a fitting response. [...] They're a public menace, so approach with caution."

Love your conclusion. Glad you're working with us, or they would hire you to make that statement with a straight face and in a less sarcastic way.

Oh but justice (a title proving irony has no bounds) "Clarence Thomas insists supreme court justices do not rule based on politics." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/sep/17/clarence-thomas-supreme-court-justices-politics
If you receive your lifetime appointment from partisan politics, how can you not rule on partisan politics?
Justice Coney-Barrett just proclaimed they are "not a bunch of partisan hacks"....so you can pretty much bet she is on her way to becoming one.
