I’m a civil rights lawyer. I don’t want to practice before a Court that’s compromised. I want a fair Court. Expansion would make this particular Court more ideologically balanced. Agree. But w/o a real, enforced ethics infrastructure, there will be 18 justices not fully disclosing financials, not compelled to recuse, praying in chambers w/their own faith leaders, going on trips w/groups filing briefs in cases before them, owning stock in indiv companies whose interests are before the Court.
@ifilljustice Judicial Inspector General with with actual criminal and impeachment referral.
Oh look, something like this has been proposed already... many times...
Note to Congress, Blow the dust off this, add enforcement/referral powers & vote already!
