Hear hear, this isn’t even close to the first time Thomas and other Supreme Court conservatives have bent over backwards to protect the ability of the state to hurt innocent people (for example, this case from 2011 that made it just about impossible for exonerated people to sue prosecutors who knowingly his evidence of their innocence in the trials that sent those exonerees to proson). There isn’t going to be a moment where they say, “This is going too far, we can’t support that,” they’ll happily greenlight whatever outrageous cruelties cops and prosecutors can bring them. The only way this stops is if other Americans decide they’ve had enough and shut down this illegitimate court.
This is just wrong at every level. We need to oust these assholes in the court.
