Their article on the low level of ethics within the U.S. Supreme Court begins:
In his upcoming memoir, retired Judge David S. Tatel wrote that he stepped down from his position on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit due to the U.S. Supreme Court‘s “low regard” for judicial principles, according to a Friday report by The Washington Post.
Though it seems that our country’s abandoning its integrity happened entirely in the last 10 years, that can’t possibly be the case. Clarence Thomas is the oldest and longest standing justice. Do you think he went bad just a few months ago?
Scandals in corporate America, e.g., Wells Fargo’s choice to defraud millions of its clients, Enron, Bernie Madoff, and the dozens of banksters associated with the sub-prime loan collapse, go back many decades. In fact, the Wikipedia page on the subject lists the collapse of the Medici Bank in the 15th Century as an example of malfeasance.
All that said, there is no doubt that the Trump phenomenon has brought about an avalanche of dishonesty, given that the president himself is a felon, and feel identically zero remorse for his actions.

Until this announcement, I think anyone would have said that Gallup, Inc., founded in 1935, had a solid reputation for honesty and integrity.
Yesterday, all that vanished in the blink of an eye.
Imagine you’re one of about 2000 employees located in one of about 35 offices around the world, including New York City, London, Berlin, Sydney, Singapore, and Abu Dhabi. How sickened would you be?
From “The Other 98”
Trump now wants Americans to believe that greenhouse gases don’t endanger human life, a claim that flies in the face of virtually every scientist on Earth. His administration just erased the EPA’s longstanding “endangerment finding,” the scientific and legal cornerstone that said carbon pollution warms the planet and harms human health. Without it, the EPA can no longer regulate greenhouse gases from factories, cars, or power plants, effectively stripping the federal government of its ability to combat climate change.
Trump is nothing if not predictable and consistent in his policies that fly into the teeth of science and cause grievous harm to our health.
Since science recognize vacci nations as safe and effective, why not appoint an anti-vaxxer to head up the Department of Health and Human Services?
Coal is by far the most toxic source of energy, so guess what Trump supports.
Baby boomers remember shows like Bugs Bunny and Rocky and Bullwinkle, and lament that quality television for young no longer exists.
Appreciation for shows like these require a basic level of understanding of music, art, and above all, history.
