putting the Fix the Court data into a pie chart (usually the worst form of chart) really helps communicate the scale of what is happening here docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Oops @chrislhayes.bsky.social

I think the wedges should be colored according to whether they were a republican or democratic appointee.

Just a suggestion (I worked in data for yrs), adding 1st names (or initials, if it's a space consideration) + yrs on court would be helpful. I'm no fan of Rehnquist, but > 30 yrs on SCOTUS & <$13k in gifts is commendable & even more damning re Thomas. Kudos!

Clarence Thomas: I like pie. I really, really like pie.

Who would have thought an unaccountable lifetime appointment would lead to corruption?!
