Let’s break down the timeline:

Trump nominates Kacsmaryk to the federal bench in 2017, but it goes nowhere. In 2018, Kacsmaryk donates $500 to Hawley, a fellow Federalist Society member. Hawley is sworn in as a Senator in early 2019 and votes to confirm Kacsmaryk in June 2019 (the vote was 52 to 46). A few months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe, activists represented by ADF file the abortion pill suit in Kacsmaryk’s single-judge district. Hawley’s wife is part of the ADF team to argue the case before Kacsmaryk in March 2023. Kacsmaryk then rules in favor of Hawley’s wife. And, finally, Hawley signs on to a Supreme Court amicus brief supporting his wife’s case this week.

“The facts speak for themselves,” Kunce said in a statement to Jezebel. “These corrupt hacks think nobody knows what they’re up to. And even when we call them out, they think they can get away with it. That Judge is still on the bench. Same with Justice Thomas. There’s no accountability and therefore, no faith.”

Hawley’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

We’re still in a news cycle about how Justice Clarence Thomas didn’t report hundreds of thousands of dollars in travel from a billionaire GOP donor and that the same donor bought the house where Thomas’s mother lives for much more than it’s worth.

As I’ve already explained, nothing is on the level about this abortion pill lawsuit, and yet here we are, waiting to hear what the corrupted conservative majority on the Supreme Court thinks about it.
