An anti-abortion leader says that Justice Alito secretly disclosed the court’s decision in the 2014 Hobby Lobby case weeks before the ruling was issued, giving his organization time to prepare a PR push. He finally reported this breach to Chief Justice Roberts in July, but never heard back. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/19/us/supreme-court-leak-abortion-roe-wade.html

Years before the leaked draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, a landmark contraception ruling was disclosed, according to a minister who led a secretive effort to influence justices.

@waldoj It seems like a good reason for Senators Schumer and Durbin to bring the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal and Transparency Act (S. 4188, HR 7647) to the floor.

It would make judicial recusal, travel, gift and amicus filing rules more exacting; require real adjudication of recusal motions; and require a Supreme Court ethics code.

I support all those rules. The problem I see is that congress has to be willing to impeach and convict for them to have any meaning. Neither party seems willing to do that.

@danielschuman @waldoj I still think the last thing they should do before Republicans take leadership in the house is expand the Supreme Court to 13 seats to match the number of districts...

@danielschuman @waldoj Would there be a way to forbid justices from attending and even worse speaking at blatantly political events and meetings?
