In medias res: From the Miami Herald in mid-May: “Sea levels are rising, swamping roads and homes in South Florida. And it’s picked up the pace in recent years. In the last 80 years, sea level rise has risen about a foot, with 8 inches of that total in the last 30 years. […] According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s best estimates, that pace is expected to speed up — dramatically. It took about 80 years for the first foot. The second one will only take 30 years. The next, 20 years. And Florida could see the next foot in merely a decade after that. […] That’s according to NOAA’s “intermediate-high” projection of sea level rise. The agency created a range of predictions — low, intermediate-low, intermediate, intermediate-high and high — to estimate what sea level rise could look like in places like Florida. So far, scientists have found that we’re trending toward the high end of those predictions. […] Those are the same predictions used by South Florida governments when deciding how high to build new developments. But after a new bill signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis this year, local governments hoping for state money for sea rise projects have to only consider the intermediate-low and intermediate scenarios, a downgrade from previous legislation that asked them to consider intermediate-low and intermediate-high scenarios.” Quick, get your beachfront property in the P-Section.

    I never have expected “Justice” Thomas to have any ethical or moral concerns about all the bribes (call them what you want) he has received. Very few thieves and criminals have remorse. They just want to get away with the crime. What really upsets and disappoints me is the the Chief Justice (Roberts) has repeatedly declined to address the issue and claims the court polices itself. Al Capone would have done a better job of policing Chicago than this court is doing!
    And the Republicans – the party that used to claim they were for Law and Order, stanchly defend Thomas (and Alito) on all of it. Their very transparent reasoning is that they want the court to be very right wing in their decisions and have no issues with the ethics of the right wing justices. I wonder what they would say if a liberal justice had a $278k loan on their RV forgiven?
    This is the result of the lack of any moral compass among the Republicans who want to get religion in the government, ban transgenders from everything and everywhere, get books out of schools, cry about the border (but do nothing), contain some of the most despicable politicians in history (Trump, Gaetz, MTG, Boebert, Cruz, Hawley, Graham, Ron Johnson, Stefanik, Jim Jordan, Paul Gosar, Mitch McConnell, and Mike Johnson). I just hope we’ll start waking up and do something about this in November. It didn’t happen overnight and we can’t fix it overnight but this is a good time and place to start.
