Robert ReichGifts to Supreme Court justices shouldn’t just be “disclosed.” They should be banned, outright. This should not be a radical position.
Sterling Baldwin@rbreich like "gifts" to presidents are explicitly banned? How did that work out with that last guy?
Andreas K@lbSterling @rbreich
It is being followed up.
Considering that the last guy was a habitual criminal, it's quite possible that he won't be prosecuted on those specific issues, others taking priority.
Renée@lbSterling Even if poorly enforced in recent times, the rule exists and for good reason, and should have been. The fact that it wasn't doesn't invalidate it, it just speaks to procedural problems wrt follow-up.
@reneestephen @rbreich ya as soon as I wrote my snarky response I realized I was just trying to be a smart ass. I strongly agree the supreme court needs better ethics rules with a real enforcement mechanism.
