Justice Samuel Alito’s recent assertion that Congress lacks the authority to regulate the Supreme Court contradicts pledges made by him and other justices during their confirmation processes to adhere to congressional ethics laws. Investigations revealing failures to comply with federal gift laws, including Alito’s acceptance of a private jet flight before ruling on a related business matter, have fueled calls for Congress to impose a formal code of ethics on the Supreme Court.
Lol trust me my ethics are perfect, in fact people are saying the best ethics of all time! SCOTUS’s honor.
Well when there are no consequences for lying and being corrupt, who cares if he promised extra hard. The honour system doesnt work when youre talking about extreme power, wealth and influence.
Unethical person lies about ethics. No surprises there.
These corrupt, lying fuckers also said they wouldn’t overturn Roe. This court needs to be dissolved and anyone who so much as bummed a cig from someone with business before the court needs to be imprisoned. You want your word to be law and the only oversight to be literal death? You need to be absolutely flawless at all times. None of this “well technically it’s not illegal” garbage.
The rule of law isn’t a supernatural force, it’s a bargain with the angry masses. If you don’t honor the bargain, why would they?
“For the last 30 years, as far as the records I’ve been able to find, the justices have been writing the same boilerplate language in their Senate Judiciary questionnaires, which to me is an indictment against the seriousness with which they take their ethical responsibilities,” said Gabe Roth, executive director of Fix the Court.
It’s not his fault, he was just copying the empty promises all the other nominees were making.
