TheGood Place season one: Haha, what if someone was sent to heaven by accident and had to pretend to be a good person!
The Good Place by the end: Morality cannot be measured in a vacuum. While people should be held accountable for their actions, people are a product of their environment and the results of our actions are often beyond our control. Bad people can improve when they loved and supported. Also, the reality of death is essential to the enjoyment of life.
I hated The Good Place at first because the first 2-3 episodes go HARD on “this is just Heaven and despite Michael’s claims, Christianity appears to be right about the afterlife.”
…then Jason opened his mouth for the first time and I was 100% all in.
So report after report emerges that SCOTUS is thoroughly corrupted. Congress (Democrats, anyway) respond that SCOTUS needs to be regulated and subject to ethics rules.
So Alito whines about how SCOTUS doesn’t need ethics reform and can’t be regulated by Congress … in an interview conducted by a dude WHO IS BRINGING A CASE TO SCOTUS.
I mean… wow.
I mean, the constitution literally says the opposite, but Alito is known for just making shit up.
“I should hold absolute, unquestioned authority for life without any oversight, ethics, or consequences for my actions” sure does sound like something a dictator would say.
