@marcelias American Bar Association: Founded in 1878.

Federalist Society: Founded in 1982.

Federalist Society's ex-(vice) president Leonard Leo put 5 of 6 biased con-servative/illiberal majority justices on the bench.
Time to regulate & contain the partisan influence of Leonard Leo & the Federalist Society, for the sake of Americans' democracy, human & civil rights.

Kagan has a message for Roberts about what’s really the legitimacy problem for the Court

Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan gave a veiled, but sharp, rebuke to Chief Justice John Roberts, seemingly answering Roberts’ assertion that the Supreme Court is perfectly legitimate and the problem is all the people who disagree with their decisions...

Supreme Court justices are humans, not saints or a club of messiahs.

They deserve to be treated accordingly - because no one is above the law, and equal justice mustn't be a hollow phrase.

Keep demanding an ethics code for SCOTUS in public discourse! Keep up the pressure!

@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.

What do Clarence Thomas & Donald Trump have in common?

Not only the sympathy of insurrection supporter Ginni Thomas, but above that
they share the very same sociopathic disregard for right & wrong.

"…
A former fundraising staffer for the Koch network said the organization’s relationship with Thomas was considered a valuable asset: “Offering a high-level donor the experience of meeting with someone like that [i.e. an ideological relative on SCOTUS]— that’s huge.”
…"

Of Course Clarence Thomas Was Getting Cozy With Koch Donors

And there's a case coming up where that coziness could be quite relevant.

No wonder Clarence once ("jokingly") called Leonard "Richelieu" Leo the *third-most important man in the U.S.*.
The man most harmful to the American judiciary & Americans' human & civil rights.

"From those early discussions among Leo, Thomas and Crow would spring a billion-dollar force that has helped remake the judiciary and overturn longstanding legal precedents on abortion, affirmative action and many other issues. It funded legal scholars to devise theories to challenge liberal precedents, helped to elect state attorneys general willing to apply those theories and launched lavish campaigns for conservative judicial nominees who would cite those theories in their rulings from the bench."

What Ginni Thomas and Leonard Leo wrought: How a justice’s wife and a key activist started a movement

Thanks to the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling, a trove of so-called "dark money" was about to be unleashed. Two activists prepared to seize the moment.

A dark web of dark-money jugglers, benefitting from the Citizens United ruling they had their sticky fingers in to legalize their covert shady financial & manipulative operations.

[Ginni] "Thomas, wife of a sitting justice, in concert with [Leonard] Leo, was secretly building the sort of dark-money front group that would soon be greenlit by the court’s decision. That group would be funded by Harlan Crow, the billionaire who spent decades secretly enriching the same justice who would sit on the case and the same spouse who would benefit from the outcome of the case. And the dark-money group founded by Ginni Thomas would go on to advocate for cases argued before the court as her husband heard those cases."

@ZhiZhu What Confedered senator Tom Davis apparently meant to say:
“At some point in time, the right of the white state to see the unborn white child born does take precedent over the white woman’s right to her body.”

Now, as we all may know the former slaveholder states always had their militant issues with the Reconstruction Amendments to the United States Constitution.

Nonetheless, quite some time ago the then not FedSocuted Supreme Court of the United States held in its 7-2 ruling, that
"State criminal abortion laws... violate the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which protects against state action the right to privacy, including a woman's qualified right to terminate her pregnancy."
And neither SCOTUS nor single (or conspiring, insurrectionary) states can invalidate the Due Process Clause, the Fourteenth Amendment or the human right of women to bodily self-determination, for the racist sake of white "Volksgemeinschaft".

@SeanCasten Yes, it is!

Norman Ornstein is right, when he concludes:

"Wrong on the facts, wrong on the history, on the wrong side of honesty and ethical standards, Justice Alito and his colleagues need to be reined in. Since Chief Justice Roberts won’t do it, it is time for Congress to step up and save the court from itself."
