After hearing that the Fox/Dominion case was settled out of court the first thing that struck me was that Fox doesn't have to admit it lied on air to its viewers for years.
Fox owner Rupert Murdock shelled out a tiny portion of his wealth to appease Dominion, who were more interested in getting millions than in making a statement about media corruption.
The end result? No accountability.
The ultimate case of no accountability in our judicial system is the Supreme Court's justices. Regardless of what they do there's no recourse.
Clarence Thomas is the alpha dog of no accountability on the bench. His wife Ginni supported a coup attempt against democratically elected Joe Biden, but Clarence has not recused himself from one case about the insurrection.
On top of that he's been exposed as a lapdog for a Republican billionaire who idolizes Adolf Hitler and wants an authoritarian government.
For two decades Clarence and Ginni went on lavish - all paid for - vacations on billionaire Harlan Crow's personal jet and super yacht. The largess didn't end there, however.
Crow purchased three parcels of property that belong to the Thomas family - a house and two empty lots - for $163,000 and Thomas didn't declare the sale on his taxes. His mother - who doesn't pay rent - still lives in the house which is maintained by Crow and has been steadily upgraded over the years at no cost to her.
All of the above are perfect examples of corruption staring at the faces of millions of Americans and making a mockery of the highest court in the land.
Will Clarence Thomas be held accountable? The answer is NO. You can't count on Congress doing anything because they've known how corrupt Thomas is for a long time and fear the consequences of going after him. He's that powerful.
We no longer just have judges. They're all now either a Trump judge, Obama judge, or Biden judge. The concept of neutrality and equal justice is trampled on by political influences.
People talk about no one being above the law but reality disputes that fine notion. Exhibit A - Donald J. Trump.
As it stands, polls will back up the distrust most Americans feel towards our judicial system and especially the Supreme Court. Lady Justice weeps.
