The fate of the abortion pill mifepristone is now before the Supreme Court, after a fifth-circuit appeals panel of three judges ruled against its distribution last summer. One of the judges who ruled against distribution of the drug is James Ho, a Trump appointee who previously served as the solicitor general of Texas; his wife took at least six payments between 2018 and 2022 from the conservative legal group that brought the case to court.
And now it will go before Clarence Thomas (amongst others), a man who has received more “gifts” from billionaires than you or I have had hot dinners. Corruption seems to be pretty endemic there these days.
