Justice Brett Kavanaugh said Thursday that the Supreme Court is working on “concrete steps” to address ethics issues at the high court amid an array of recent news stories on justices’ travel and relationships with political donors.
Appearing before an audience of judges and lawyers during a judicial conference in Ohio, Kavanaugh noted that Chief Justice John Roberts had pledged in May to assure the public that the court was committed to adhering to the highest standards of conduct.
“The chief justice spoke about that in May and said that we are continuing to work on those issues and that is accurate,” Kavanaugh told the audience. “We are continuing to work on those issues and I’m hopeful that there will be some concrete steps taken soon on that.”
If you’re still there, they aren’t nearly stringent enough, Rapey McKavanaugh.
If they wanted it done, they could just adopt the same ethics rules that every other court in America has to abide. If they’re working on anything, it’s how to keep getting free vacations and gifts from donors without having to disclose them or, god forbid, someone on the court having to experience consequences for their corruption.
Knowing Thomas he’d probably argue for the rules then argue he’s exempt because he got the job before they were implemented.
Ohh sorry I guess there is no higher court that can compell us to do that. Also congress can’t either…sorry. I guess there are no real checks on our power jeeze.
Can’t imagine a world where anything they come up with has any bite or actually correct any of the ongoing problems. The number of cases where justices should’ve recused themselves for conflicts of interests seems to just keep growing.
The cunt that lied to get his position is going to tell us about ethics now. Fucking clown.
“We’re TOTALLY going to start policing ourselves one day. Just you wait and see. When? This year isn’t good we have an election coming up and we need to make sure the American people can weigh in on this very important matter [so we can see if Republicans will overthrow democracy and we can move on from this without change. Clarence’s mom ain’t paying rent and I got “baseball tickets” ill need another “small” loan for…].”
They’re going to be concrete steps by which they can investigate and clear themselves out and wrongdoing, before they head out on vacation with their billionaire “friends”.
Cool. I want three resignations. Openly corrupt Thomas, the rapist who isn’t Merrick garland, and the lying christofascist who was placed at the last minute. Sure only one of these is related to the court’s corruptions. But they’re all a corruption of the court. I also want rules on what happens with the senate in the situations of the other two, because either they refused to do their constitutional job and should be punished once or they violated the spirit of the rule in a partisan power grab.
Step 1: How to avoid scrutiny that might put our ethics on display.
Step 2: legalize things we currently get that might appear unethical.
Step 3: profit
I mean Brett Kavanaugh is just the beacon of ethics.
Oh the irony… 😑
Really? Crying beer man who got everything handed to him on a silver platter who when for the first time in his life was questioned, broke down in tears?
Rapist says what?
You know we’re fucked when a title like that isn’t even on nottheonion. We may have entered a"not ‘not the onion’" era
Bruh. We’ve been way past that since 2016, at the very latest.
(deep breath)
AHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Sorry, I just couldn’t contain my derisive laughter at Beer Bro.
Dracula and other vampires discuss the ethics on drinking human blood.
Concrete steps?
Is that a drinking game or something?
