A Court by Any Other Name

I’m just a plainspoken Colorado criminal defense lawyer, but the way I see it…

We’re just gonna have to come up with a new name for the Supreme Court of the United States.

Because of recent “Supreme” court action, and inaction, women and girls are dying in this country, denied health care that could save their lives.

A fake macho ex-president, who was declared ineligible for political office by my state’s Supreme Court because he engaged in insurrection against his country, is being protected by its “Supreme” court against federal prosecution, so he can do it again.

Our “Supreme” court, which follows no ethical rule required for every other court beneath it, yet has no end of its own ethical challenges, decided only yesterday that state officials, much like several of the court’s justices, may accept financial rewards for jobs well done, so long as they don’t ask for them in advance, which of course would be a bribe. These folks prefer to think of it as a tip, like you’d give a waiter for good service. It’s not a bribe for a government contract, see, it’s a tip. Keep those tips coming.

Since the time I was born, we’ve always cloaked the justices in dark robes from neck to toe. There’s a reason they are cloaked, and there’s a reason why they are dark.

They’re just naked under there.
