The US has tranferred $2 triliion to the wealthy since 1976 losing the war on drugs. Making drug addiction illegal is just a way to justify transferring another $2 trillion to the wealthy. It’s not about ending drug addiction. It’s about profit with a side dish of punishing those that they think they are better than.
It basically already is.
but his wealthy-donor’s “gift” addiction … wouldn’t be illegal, of course…
This is just a regurgitation of https://www.newsweek.com/clarence-thomas-wants-supreme-court-dispose-landmark-ruling-1915455
As long as the Sackler family pays him after the ruling it is all legal.
Wouldn’t that be a convenient way to keep the
slaveprison industry running?If there is one area of American society outside immigration that needs immediate bumper to bumper reform it’s the prison system… It’s worse than the third world.
in order to fix the corrections system you need to fix the entire legal system. from cops and jails to DAs Judges and laws
Especially when so many states are decriminalizing weed, this could definitely make a lot of state prosecutors very very happy.
Wow, never have I ever wished someone became an addict.
Even if he were, those laws wouldn’t apply to him.
Oh, there are plenty of laws that would apply to him. None of them are on the books, they’re just the laws of the life of an addict.
Paranoia, ostracization… It’s a good start
Hmmm
Thoughtcrime
Yea, good luck with that
That prize fuckhead is open to anything thatll throw a monkeywrench in the works
Conservatives, personal liberties. Right.
Weird, I appear open to pushing Clarence Thomas into the Grand Canyon. He’s such an astoundingly shitty human being that I don’t understand how he lives with himself.
I don’t understand how he lives with himself.
I mean, I get that, but there’s no amount of money that could make me do the things he’s done because I’d hate myself in a way money can’t fix. He (and the rest of the conservatives on the court) have hurt so many people and I don’t know how they aren’t even a little bothered. It’s like they’re legal robots who can’t feel empathy.
Your first mistake is thinking that people like Thomas actually feel empathy for other people that aren’t them. There’s been studies on this - wealth, especially extreme wealth, physiologically changes how your brain processes things like empathy, altruism, etc.
The dude didn’t say a word for decades. Now he has a loud opinion about literally everything. I wonder what he’s thinking about my new tube socks or the lunch I had two days ago. I’m sure he’ll let me know.
Could be cognitive decline. Judges are supposed to hold their cards close to their chest.

Not being a wealthy white hard right Christian will be illegal. The point is to make it impossible for people to live legally, so you can just push them around any way you like.
That’ll fix it
