Term limits will end these political hacks Nominations for life is just plain wrong as one can see what happens when you give senators and congressmen 30 and 40 years in office. It destroys the country.

Obama was out of line. They should return in 2012 for the Palin State of the Union speech.

This current Supreme Court is one of the most corrupt ever.
Justice Thomas has a major conflict of interest and should have recused himself from numerous decisions.
Turns out Justice Thomas' wife has been on the payroll of a right wing think tank for years, and more recently on the payroll of one of these astrotruf tea party. His wife is getting paid off hundreds of thousands of dollars by special interests groups trying to influence the government. Problem is Thomas never disclosed this information which is an imprisionable offense for most government employees.
At the least Justice Thomas should recused himself form cases like the Citizens Untied decision, and he should be impeached if he doesn't resign. The Justice department better be looking into this major scandal.

Pay attention to whether this gets whitewashed and buried in the news cycles.
Unfortunately none of the major news organisations are bringing this up to any sense of proportion to what they should. This is the Watergate moment for the Supreme Court.
