As Reuters reports, Supreme Court Justice Alito has refused to recuse himself from "a tax case that involves an attorney who interviewed him for a newspaper article and helped him "air his personal grievances."
A reminder: Alito is Catholic. So is Thomas. So is Roberts, who refuses to hold either justice accountable for unethical behavior.
The US Catholic bishops have rattled their sabers at Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden.

@wdlindsy@toad.socialBut they are totally silent about the growing perception of the public that the Supreme Court, dominated by a right-wing Catholic bloc, is morally compromised and even corrupt — just as they are silent about the cruel anti-immigrant stunts of Catholic governors DeSantis and Abbott.
The disparity is noteworthy, isn't it?
@wdlindsy
I was hoping that the Pope would send some of these US bishops overseas, as I certain that God would like for them to broaden their perspectives.
@wdlindsy Lol, getting those people into power was their long term project which wildly succeeded. What's the point of feigning incomprehension? It's been about power since 0 AD.
@aburka Feigning incomprehension is a longstanding rhetorical device to demonstrate just how comprehensible what's feigned actually is.
