The irony delivered by the highly partisan WSJ - #Kavanaugh Sees ‘Concrete Steps’ Ahead to Address #SCOTUS #Ethics. All 9 justices want their ‘respect for the institution to be shared by the American people,’ Kavanaugh tells conference.. Overwhelmingly Americans do not trust nor respect this court. #SCOTUS has done nothing to earn our respect. They R complicit in routinely violating ethics guidelines = unreported receipt of $M in graft for rendering partisan decisions. https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/justice-kavanaugh-sees-concrete-steps-ahead-to-address-supreme-court-ethics-ce82b657

“The chief justice spoke about that in May & said that we’re continuing to work on those issues & that is accurate, we are continuing to work on those issues,” #Kavanaugh said, referring to a speech by Chief Justice #JohnRoberts. “And I’m hopeful that there will be some concrete steps taken soon on that.”

#law #legal #JudicialEthics

#Justice Brett #Kavanaugh said Thurs that he is “hopeful” #SCOTUS soon will take specific steps to deal w/ #ethics issues at the court & boost public confidence in the institution.

Kavanaugh made the comments while speaking at a conference of #judges & #lawyers, after he was asked by Judge Stephanie Dawkins Davis of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit about “perceived ethics issues” at the high court.

#DC #AG is probing #LeonardLeo’s network. #FederalistSociety co-chair & ex-Trump #judicial adviser has utilized nonprofit groups to collect more than $1 billion for #conservative causes. Best known as #Trump’s WH“court whisperer,” Leo played behind-the-scenes role in nominations of all 3 of former prez #SCOTUS justices, promoted them through his multi $B network of nonprofits. Trump chose his 3 #SCOTUS picks, #Gorsuch, #Kavanaugh #ConeyBarrett from list drawn up by Leo. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/08/22/d-c-attorney-general-is-probing-leonard-leos-network-00112331

The vote was 5 to 4, w/ #ChiefJustice #JohnRoberts & Justice #AmyConeyBarrett joining the court’s 3 liberal members — Justices Sonia #Sotomayor, Elena #Kagan & #KetanjiBrownJackson — to form a majority.

Justices #ClarenceThomas, Samuel #Alito, Neil #Gorsuch & Brett #Kavanaugh noted #dissents. Like the justices in the majority, they did not explain their reasoning.

#Kavanaugh, Who Said He Had “No Connections” to #Yale, Was a #Legacy Student https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/09/kavanaugh-hearing-yale-legacy.html

There’s no actual fight against #AffirmativeAction, just a fight to rig in favor of doughy prep-school mediocrities like #Kavanaugh—straight to #SCOTUS for you :D

Career GOP dirty-trickster #Kavanaugh has ‘few fixed convictions and even fewer interesting things to say. To the extent that his colleagues think about him at all, they seem to view him as a fixer who can cobble together five votes for a diaphanous majority’ #SCOTUS https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/07/brett-kavanaugh-supreme-court-intellectual-lightweight.html

Does there exist one individual who was forced into the #MeToo club that did NOT KNOW Trump was a rapist?

But it’s nice that we have judicial clarification & permission to use the label.

Now can we do #Kavanaugh?

Brett Kavanaugh Defends Supreme Court, Saying it's Not a Partisan Institution https://politicaliq.com/2023/07/14/brett-kavanaugh-defends-supreme-court-saying-its-not-a-partisan-institution/ #SupremeCourt #SCOTUS #Kavanaugh #Conservative #Supermajority #NonPartisan #Elections #LGBTQ #AffirmativeAction #studentloanforgiveness #abortion #ethics #politicaliq #news #politics

Is this specific Supreme Court illegitimate?

In my opinion yes. Mitch McConnell and the Republicans in the Senate made this specific court's 6 Republican members illegitimate. Here's why, McConnell:
- Blocked Obama's appointment of Merrick Garland
- Did not allow a proper hearing and vetting of Neil Gorsuch
- Blocked investigation of Brett Kavanaugh and rushed the hearing process
- Rushed the hearing of Amy Coney Barrett
- Allowed Amy Coney Barrett to have a hearing a Senate vote in spite of his argument used when blocking Merrick Garland

Regarding this specific court, here's why
- Several justices said or implied that Roe was settled law
- Several justices said or implied that the Supreme Court should not overrule a precedent
- Published and verified corruption of Clarence Thomas
- Published and verified corruption of Samuel Alito
- Clear ethics violations that would not be allowed of any other Federal judge

Say it with me:

📢 THE SUPREME COURT ISN'T SUPREME, ISN'T A REAL COURT, AND ISN'T LEGITIMATE IN ANY WAY. :ms_middle_finger_clw_g2:

Say it often.
Say it loudly.

#ICWA lives to see another day, thankfully. But the possibility of #EqualProtection challenges remains.

Hell, #Kavanaugh all but draws a roadmap for would-be petitioners to bring an EP challenge.

And the close of #Thomas's dissent -- drawing a fine distinction between refusing to disturb a finding that ICWA is constitutional and "deciding that
ICWA is[] in fact" constitutional -- implicitly embraces a case brought on those grounds.

Keep an eye open.

It occurs to me that #roberts and #Kavanaugh went in on the recent affirmative AL voting rights case to create a bargaining chip on the upcoming AffirmativeAction case where they will devastate equal non-discrimination law. Just looking forward and knowing snakes.

#Kavanaugh is a closet liberal. Change my mind.

A 2023 #documentary about #SupremeCourt corrupt sexual abuser Brett #Kavanaugh suggests the following:

1. Kananaugh had other alleged #victims.

2. His team knew about these allegations and poisoned the media landscape with narratives undermining his accusers.
