Supreme Court under fire following what critics say is a wave of ethical lapses

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A series of revelations about alleged ethical conflicts is raising questions about the credibility and independence of the United States Supreme Court.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal last week, Justice Samuel Alito, a conservative, lamented what he believes are unfair attacks on the court and a lack of defense from other legal elites.

“We are being hammered daily, and I think quite unfairly in a lot of instances,” Alito said. “And nobody, practically nobody, is defending us. The idea has always been that judges are not supposed to respond to criticisms, but if the courts are being unfairly attacked, the organized bar will come to their defense.”

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., who has been critical of the court’s rightward shift for years, is pushing his proposed Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency (SCERT) Act in response to the recent stories. The legislation would require the court to adopt more rigorous disclosure rules in line with those required of members of Congress.

1. Ethical lapses? If we do these things they are called CRIMES.

The rich and powerful pretend their crimes are just minor errors.

3. (1) SCERT passes both houses and is signed into law by President Biden.

(2) The Supremes immediately declare it unconstitutional (6-3) because they're the Supremes and Congress isn't and who the hell do they think they are, anyway?
(3) Profit!
