Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow and his family's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. See how this works?

All conservative judges and politicians are corrupt to the core. Corruption is the foundation that conservatism is built upon. Their business model is to take bribes from rich people while crushing any attempt by the working class for a better slice of the pie.
They get the evangelical churches to tell the ignorant fools that this is what their God wants. And, they all believe that an alien creature that inhabits some sort of alternative realm is concerned about US economy. Not the Italian economy. Not the Irish economy. Just the US economy. And the peasants better suffer in silence while the Righteous Gemstones get rich.
Conservatism is synonymous with corruption. Always has been. Always will be.
