Make no mistake - No #leadership #resolve #honesty #integrity #values #SCOTUS #ChiefJustice #JohnRoberts has #declined to directly #respond to a #congressional #request to #investigate #ClarenceThomas’ alleged #ethicallapses.

This is not about #policy - it is about a long documented history of #corruption https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/22/politics/chief-justice-john-roberts-clarence-thomas/index.html
