THAT IS A FORM OF INFLUENCE. YOU’RE A FUCKING LAW PROFESSOR.

George Priest, a Yale Law School professor who has vacationed with Thomas and Crow, told ProPublica he believes Crow’s generosity was not intended to influence Thomas’ views but rather to make his life more comfortable. “He views Thomas as a Supreme Court justice as having a limited salary,” Priest said. “So he provides benefits for him.”

Is the Democratic Party really not able to make an issue out of a conservative SCOTUS Justice taking bribes, a Justice who also voted that Congress can't investigate Jan. 6 because it could expose things his wife did, even as a majority of Americans are mad at SCOTUS for removing abortion rights?

I mean, he's vacationed with them, so he would know if they're corrupt.

Yup. I'd be interested to learn more about that and how it works in that particular city. Police use overtime to get double the pension.

Cops in Waltham, MA have shut down the city for TWO DAYS for a police funeral - and forced the schools to close at short notice because the cops commandeered the school buses for the event! We need to stop putting up with this madness. www.reddit.com/r/boston/s/p...

I live in Waltham, here are my two cents.
The police have botched this from beginning to end.
There was another person who died in that incident, someone whose job is statistically more dangerous than the police, but the cops were lightning quick to make the whole entire thing about their guy who died.
On Tuesday afternoon, after school was left out, the school district informed parents that school was getting out in the morning on Thursday, and would be cancelled on Friday, in part because the police department wanted the school buses for their own use. There has been little to no acknowledgement from the cops that doing this was going to create hardships for parents who now had to scramble for childcare, and the lost wages this will cause. At a particularly bad time of year for it.
The ONLY way any of this has been communicated to the public was through the emergency alert system, which is something you have to sign up for.
Obviously not everyone in Waltham is going to be signed up, but if you live outside of town and drive in for work I guess you're fucked?
It's not like this was a one day thing either. There were TWO days of memorials, and police advised people to work from home and not go out unless necessary on both days, in part because there were going to be many road closures. Did they tell anyone what roads were going to be closed? Nope, this is all they had to say "This message is to advise that there will be significant traffic delays throughout the city on both days. Major roadways will be shut down at various times during these days which will impact traffic greatly. If you have the option to work from home, we strongly encourage you do so."
Really? All because a single cop died? The amount of self-importance they have astronomical.

I wish the inset went on infinitely. Otherwise, it's fantastic.
