As America Descends into a Land of Broadspread Corruption

American conservatives, as represented by the Republicans, once stood for something that, while it might have been cruel, elitist, and retrogressive, was at least defensible.

Now, it’s the party of sleaze, of overt criminality.

It’s possible that Clarence Thomas lies on the top of the dung-heap, given his position on the U.S. Supreme Court (vs. Congress, where corruption is routine and less destructive).

If you or I were John Roberts, we would take immediate action to remove Thomas.  Looks like that’s not happening, however.
