In an environmental case, the liberal justice questioned whether the high court treats business interests differently from "less powerful litigants."

    It’s not an impression. It’s a fact.

    Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in his 2005 questionnaire:

    The newsroom ProPublica found that for several years, Clarence Thomas was paid by a group of Billionaires:

    https://www.propublica.org/article/clarence-thomas-other-billionaires-sokol-huizenga-novelly-supreme-court

    In June, ProPublica reported that Samuel Alito accepted a flight on billionaire Paul Singer’s private jet before the Supreme Court ruled on a business matter involving Singer’s hedge fund

    Paul Singer is a close friend of Rupert Murdoch, who owns The New York Post, the Wall Street Journal and Fox News. So the Wall Street Journal allowed Samuel Alito to attack ProPublica journalists:

    Billionaire Rupert Murdoch personally attended events with Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.

    The Wall Street Journal isn’t exactly a neutral source of information. In fact, CBS describes Rupert Murdoch as a “friend of Clarence Thomas”

      If you get your information from serious news organizations (PBS, CBC, BBC, Reuters, NYT, The Guardian) you are now in the minority.

      Most people now get their information from television and social media influencers:

      There is a reason why many members of Congress privately say they fear criticizing Musk:

      He can take them down by changing what their constituents see on their X feed.
