Democracy in Chains -
The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America
quote [ A former Democratic insider made a bold implication regarding now-former Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy and his relationship with President Donald Trump, after a New York Times report looked at the history between the two men. The article traced the connection back to when Kennedy’s son Justin Kennedy dealt with Trump while working at Deutsche Bank during a time when the bank loaned Trump more than a billion dollars. ]

Fact: Kennedy's son works at Deutchbank
Fact: Kennedy's son was in charge of giving out loans at this bank in 2008.
Fact: Donald Trump ran for President in 2000
Fact: Justice Kennedy was the deciding vote on Citizens United in 2010, and wrote the majority opinion.
These facts alone should have been grounds for stepping back. There are other fun facts that are just fun on their own, and may or may not relate in any way.
Fact: Deutchbank was found guilty of money laundering
Fact: Deutchbank just ate a fine for not doing the things the judge told them to do to stop this:

But one thing is for sure, no matter how you slice it, this is nothing like saying a woman that has ovaries shouldn't rule over a case involving abortion. Trying to tie these extremely dissimilar things together leads me to ask why the fuck you thought I wasn't going to call that out?

You are talking about the likely inheritor of that man's estate. The fuck are you talking about that just because his son deals in finances related to thing he is ruling on he shouldn't recuse himself.
Fucking repeat that to yourself until you understand it.
