The United States Supreme Court revealed what some justices touted as a landmark new ethics code last year.
But critics noted that the scandal-plagued institution’s new rules lacked any enforcement mechanisms, making them essentially a 14-page long list of suggestions.
A new leak of secret discussions from behind the bench, published in The New York Times Tuesday, reveals which justices fought to keep the code of conduct toothless.
The Times reported that the court’s nine justices started passing ultra-confidential memos, kept in paper envelopes and off email servers, back and forth at the end of last summer.
Gorsuch, Thomas and Alito
As expected.
These people deserve to be harassed into pure misery
I don’t know why this is a big deal. We know which assholes opposed it and there’s fuck all we can do about it.
Looks like Clarence is getting another motor coach.
Let’s hope it’s from Tesla and can’t be extinguished.
If these people are gonna be shitheads, they should be transparent in all the ways they are shitheads while serving.
“We already knew” is a terrible reaction to any confirmation of any information that is made public regarding government activity.

Jesus fucking Christ learn some real OpSec this is just dumb shit, no wonder there’s so many fucking leaks.
Gorsuch passes one to Roberts:
Do you like me? Check this box: ⬜
I’m not sure. I’ve never been to Maine.
I’m totally shocked! - no one
Can we calls it SCROTUS yet
I’ve been calling it that since RvW. It’s also a good way to refer to the Supreme Court Republicans of the US
Just like the Secret Service don’t like being called the SS but continue to protect geriatric Hitler
It’s been that since the Republicans unconstitutionally stacked the court and got away with it.
Eventually, some clerk or staffer is gonna spend a lot of time in jail but also become a folk hero.
Or a chef.
