Incipient bothsideism in the #BrokenTimes, equating Sotomayor's proper criticism with Thomas' rampant corruption, ignoring the much larger issue: the Court's authoritarian, religious extremism. Is the Supreme Court Coming Apart at the Seams? www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/o...
Justices Sotomayor and Thomas each made controversial public comments recently but with sharply different outcomes. In today’s @nytimes.com, @jessewegman.bsky.social explains what the contrast reveals about the Roberts Court.
Two Supreme Court justices’ remarks — and their responses to backlash — revealed two visions of the Court: one “tough-minded, passionate, and willing to admit error”; the other “smug, unapologetic, and gleefully divisive.”
“Now, in these latest incidents, two justices gave us two visions of the court. One was of a court that would work for America: tough-minded, passionate and willing to admit error. The other was of the court we have: smug, unapologetic and gleefully divisive.”— @jessewegman.bsky.social

"These days, the Supreme Court sometimes feels as if it is slowly coming apart, the victim of both its own members’ arrogance and the hardball politics that Senate Republicans used to pack the court with right-wingers over the past decade." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/o...
Not clear to me that juristocrats dropping pretenses is a net-net bad for the world.

“We’ve come to expect diatribes against entire swaths of the country from the Trump administration, but to hear a Supreme Court justice do it is somehow more chilling.”👇🏼 Chief Justice John Roberts has ignored an Inflammatory public statement by an associate justice. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/o...

The double standard at the Supreme Court, on display for all to see: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/o...
“In 2016, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg made inappropriate and highly prejudicial public comments about Donald Trump, then a presidential candidate. (She also said she regretted those comments. Why does it always seem to be the women who have the courage to say that they made a mistake?)” I know why!

Shocker, "Uncle" Thomas publicly said this + gave a shout out to his top donor "Justice Clarence Thomas...chose to use a national platform to unleash his contempt for 'progressivism' — both as a historical reform movement and as a modern political identity shared by tens of millions of Americans."

“Justice Thomas often seems to take perverse pleasure in thumbing his nose at concerns regarding his professional conduct. (At the event, he made a point of acknowledging Harlan Crow, the billionaire GOP donor who lavished numerous, undisclosed, luxury gifts on him.)” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/o...

Justice Thomas' remarks about progressivism "display the sort of ideological arrogance and intellectual incoherence that have become characteristic of the right wing of the court under Chief Justice John Roberts." We need term limits for justices, at the very least.
