But if I privately gave money to a judge and there's an unspoken expectation of a wee bit of nudge, nudge, wink, wink in return, they'd look the other way BECAUSE THEY HAVE SO MANY TIMES ALREADY.
As long as it continues behind the scenes, SCOTUS is corruptible and justice means nothing.
#EthicsCode for SCOTUS, now, dammit.

IS IT JUST ME, or has the #SCotUS just ruled to overturn what should have been two easily winnable cases???
They just re-legalized #WhitesOnly lunch counters with #SmithVColorado, and carved out an exclusion for #WhiteAffirmativeAction ("Legacies" & "Wealth")... all while declaring they don't need an #EthicsCode.

«"If #Kagan, #Sotomayor and #Jackson truly believe that it is only the #SupremeCourt that has the ability to govern itself, then they need to be more forceful in putting that self-regulation into practice. They need to be willing to tell #Congress if, as it appears from the outside, there is no effective way for that to happen. And they need to be willing to speak out about whether they believe #Thomas violated the #EthicsCode that they have now signed onto."»

#SCOTUS has no #EthicsCode No #CodeofConduct yet these people control the #conduct #privacy #choice of all Americans. This is not consistent with #Democracy. "The Supreme Court has failed to reach consensus on an ethics code of conduct specific to the nine justices despite internal discussion dating back at least four years. There is no timeline for the justices to act." https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/09/supreme-court-ethics-code/ #courts #judicialbranch#RuleofLaw #ethics #legalresearch #recusal #ConflictofInterest
