Sherrilyn IfillI’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.
JRIL@ifilljustice The SCOTUS should adopt the Supreme Court Ethics Act and create an enforcement board comprised of all 13 Chief judges of the 13 U.S. Courts of Appeals.
