It appears that several prominent judges failed to disclose important stuff they were required to disclose.

So, now what?

Will these judges face sanctions? Investigations? Is there even a chance we'll see meaningful enforcement of the rules they broke?

@ebakerwhite

normally, lets say 40 years ago. They would have been ashamed and resigned instead of facing impeachment

Now with 40 senators who are okay with the "Quid Pro Crow" won't allow impeachment

@thesteelrat @ebakerwhite If only a few judges are guilty, and only a few prosecutors are willing to confront them, then perhaps a few examples might be made, or resignations extracted. But if the problem is systemic, then this case by case approach won't work.

@ebakerwhite Nope. Illegitimate court making laws for the rest of us while they have no ethics themselves.

Anyone trying disbarment?

@YetAnotherGeekGuy There’s a drive to get the Supreme disbarred in MO, but it wouldn’t matter. Supremes don’t need them.

@ebakerwhite I expect some more gaslighting.

@ebakerwhite I think there’s a possibility that the Supreme may get caught. As someone pointed out Cross is the head of a large org that regularly files amicus briefs with the court. They didn’t disclose the financial relationship and he did not recuse. If Justice looks at anything it might be that.

Texas? Of course not. They want to push these legal boundaries.

@ebakerwhite they will investigate themselves and find they did nothing wrong. You know, the police playbook.
