Democrats in the Senate Judiciary Committee say they intend to understand the full extent of “people with interests before the Court” gaining access to the judges in return for undisclosed gifts.

@opethminded 😎 To be instituted #SCOTUS_OIG #SCOTUSInspectorGeneral, following the long-established example of other government agencies/ departments / authorities.
We'll certainly agree, that an ethics-monitoring & -enforcing authority is needed to put an end to potentially corrupt activities like those reported on concerning Thomas, Roberts, Alito et al.

SCOTUS justices without corporate interests could easily feel relieved from conflicts of interest.

Time to institute a code of conduct for the Supreme Court.

"Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito together own shares in 19 companies that could see combined tax relief of more than $30 billion if the court issues a broad ruling in the Moore v. United States tax case and strikes down a one-time corporate tax imposed in 2017."

Justices Have Financial Interest In Major Tax Case

John Roberts and Samuel Alito own shares of companies that could score billions in tax relief from the outcome of Moore v. United States.

@Yoshi @DiverDoc Each of the six may have a pair, including Amy Coney Barrett — with the signatures of Leonard Leo & his fucking rich subversive donors all over them.
No reason to give a damn about their fake resistance to dismantling essential parts of the Constitution like the 14th Amendment (=> Roe v Wade/ abortion...) & related prior SCOTUS rulings.

Leonard Leo & the Federalist Society he controlled/ controls installed (corrupt) enemies of the Constitution & the United States on the bench, not only SCOTUS's.
Anyone want to prove the opposite?

@DaveRussell Due to questionable behavior & a non-existent (SCOTUS) Code of Conduct, that's already directing the actions of federal judges, yes, Leonard Leo's potentially corruptible Federalist Society SCOTUS emissaries have rightly been in the spotlight of critical public scrutiny for quite a while.

Justices shield spouses’ work from potential conflict of interest disclosures

Ginni Thomas, Jane Roberts and Jesse Barrett’s clients remain a mystery, fanning fears of outside influences.

@LisaToddSutton That opinion coming from two Federalist Society members is indeed a bit of a surprise.

Their article's conclusion:
“Donald Trump cannot be president — cannot run for president, cannot become president, cannot hold office — unless two-thirds of Congress decides to grant him amnesty for his conduct on Jan. 6.”

Then put it into practice, folks!

🤑🤔 Clarence Thomas, (still) Supreme Court justice — and darling protégé of the rich & wealthy.

"ProPublica found that since he was appointed to the court in 1991, Thomas has received gifts from benefactors including at least 38 destination vacations, 34 flights by private jet or helicopter, a dozen VIP passes to sporting events including in a skybox, stays at resorts in Florida and Jamaica and a standing invitation to high-end golf club.

At least twice, the late billionaire businessman Wayne Huizenga sent his personal 737 jet to pick Thomas up and bring him to South Florida, ProPublica reported."

US Supreme Court's Clarence Thomas enjoyed array of luxury perks, report says

U.S. Supreme Court Justice <a href="/world/us/us-supreme-courts-clarence-thomas-delays-filing-annual-financial-disclosure-2023-06-07/">Clarence Thomas</a> has been treated to far more luxury vacations and exclusive perks from wealthy patrons than previously known, news organization ProPublica reported on Thursday, raising more questions about the lack of binding ethical standards at the court.

@MariaHill @MJ It appears, the subversive Federalist Society (founded 1982) had also been behind the recommendation of Clarence Thomas to the G.H.W. Bush admin, and the ratfucking against the American Bar Association, leading to the subsequent development of the reactionary FedSoc into the major judiciary-whisperers that could implant six of its members & agents on SCOTUS's bench.

Clarence Thomas, once upon a time: I've "been a part of the Federalist Society now since meeting with them … in the 1980s"

How the Federalist Society is helping conservatives win the judicial war.

It isn’t just about Supreme Court picks. The group’s impact on the law goes much deeper.
