So, the brilliant mind who believes most people aren't stupid just penned an #essay whispering the opposite. 🤔✨ Because nothing says "I have faith in humanity" quite like reminding us that half of #Americans can't even name the three branches of government. 🙃🤷‍♂️

Senators call for Supreme Court to follow ethics code like other branches of government

The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee says it's time for Supreme Court justices to bring their conduct in line with the standards of other branches of government. Sen. Dick Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, was responding Tuesday to Associated Press investigative stories. He said that if the high court were to establish the basic standards of every other branch of government, “it would give us much more confidence in their integrity.” The AP stories showed how Justice Sonia Sotomayor, aided by her staff, has advanced sales of her books through college visits; how universities have used trips by justices as a lure for financial contributions, and how justices have taken expenses-paid teaching trips that are light on classroom instruction.
