How #Scalia #LawSchool Became a Key Friend of the #SCOTUS #GeorgeMason Uni law school cultivated ties to justices w generous pay, unusual perks. In turn it gained prestige donations #influence. docs show how Scalia Law has offered justices safe space in polarized DC academic cocoon filled w friends and former clerks, where their legal views are celebrated, they are given top pay and treated to teaching trips abroad, and their personal needs are anticipated. #Corruption https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/30/us/supreme-court-scalia-law-school.html

Dismaying but not surprising--George Mason Law (renamed Antonin Scalia Law) built connections to Justices that gave litigants access. School provided Justices with luxury vacations "with a little teaching thrown in," urged them to take vacations at the ranches of litigants & allowed professors to file amicus briefs to SCOTUS as Justices were co-teaching with them. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/30/us/supreme-court-scalia-law-school.html #LawFedi #GeorgeMason #SCOTUS #LegalEthics

We Dems, have allowed the “infection” of #scotus to run rampant.
The pic recent ?’s have painted…
Is of…shady political influence, “purchasing” clerkships w/cash &…
Cushy teaching-vacations, they choose the locale.

The level of infiltration by extreme right influencers, to SCOTUS…
Is unparalleled in the court’s history!

To quote crazy #JoeBiden, the firing of #McCabe is an effing big deal, which is why many are freaking out about it. Turley, a law professor at #GeorgeMason, says that his firing indicates that #Comey lied while under oath in testimony to Congress. https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/law-prof-mccabe-firing-suggests-comey-lied-to-congress-while-under-oath/
