“Supreme Court on ethics issues: Not broken, no fix needed”

[zymurgy]

Yep, we are watching Donald Trump's tantrums alright!

Thanks for pointing that out.

he has nothing to do with this discussion tardo

 

[Damocles]

so even the three liberal women justices told you that they are not broken and operating completely within their constitutional ethics and guidelines.

so who are you going to believe? the judicial experts who sit on that bench? or your lying eyes and ears?

Good question.

their expertise and positions mark them as highly professional.............this is a position that nearly every leftist here takes when debating the statements and opinions of left wing officials. You cannot reconcile that a person of such expertise and professionalism on the court is also a completely unethical hosebag robbing the american people. the two are diametrically opposed.

again, who are you going to believe? the experts? or your own personal beliefs and opinions?

Come on, Judges are just attorneys with political friends, which as I noted, is especially true since their approval now only needs a majority vote.

And with time and experience they do become legal authorities, professional, least hopefully, however, being a legal authority doesn’t mean you are an expert on ethics, ethics aren’t limited to law, but often transcend the later

At a time when confidence and respect for the Court is at an all time low, and recent disclosure of serious ethical practices, Roberts decision to ignore the realities is beyond understanding, which somewhat endorses the conviction that they are out of touch with the world others live in and who are effected by their decisions

Good question.

Remember when the right used to say their decisions were all political?


What changed?

How many SCOTUS members did he get to appoint?

 

[evince]

In terms of pecking order, God is the only one above the justices on the Supreme Court.

And (sic) he hasn't spoken.

I'm sure though that He agrees with the Supremes.

When did you begin believing this?

Good question.

Really?

I look at it like Marie Antoinette commenting on events surrounding her

 

[Uncensored2008]

“WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is speaking with one voice in response to recent criticism of the justices’ ethical practices: No need to fix what isn’t broken.

“The justices’ response on Tuesday struck some critics and ethics experts as tone deaf at a time of heightened attention on the justices’ travel and private business transactions”

“Charles Geyh, an Indiana University law professor and legal ethics expert, said everything the justices detailed Tuesday evening about ethics was essentially outlined in Chief Justice John Roberts’ annual year-end report from 2011, more than a decade ago.”

“They’re basically saying ... What we’ve been doing is just fine.”

“Thomas has for more than two decades accepted luxury trips nearly every year from Republican megadonor Harlan Crow. Gorsuch sold property which he disclosed the sale but omitted that the property was purchased by a person whose firm frequently has cases before the high court. Roberts’ wife raised ethical concerns that she was paid large sums for placing lawyers at firms that appear before the court.”

“The justices seem to be utterly clueless about the problem they have ... They’re in a bubble apparently. They don’t see what a big problem they have”

Every Court in the US, from local to Federal, has a defined code of conduct with an authority to monitor complaints except the Supreme Court, they supposedly consider themselves above everyone else. They appear totally unconnected with the people who are effected by their decisions, which explains some of the flat out stupid comments some of them make

They are a separate branch, but they are also part of the Federal Gov’t, and as I noted, the only entity within that Government, and even their own branch, without an enforceable code of ethics

Obviously.

This is just another attack by the Nazi democrats who are motivated to destroy a court they no longer control.

Thomas did nothing wrong.

You tried to lynch him because the court is an impediment to your war on the Constitutional Republic.

That's all this EVER was, a lynching.

 

[evince]

So it’s fine for him to make up to 100,000 A year from a non existent real estate entity?


How can it make him such bank when it no longer exists?

 

[evince]

I think this Roberts filing is a cry for help to the congress


ACT ON THIS BECAUSE WE CANT

 

[Uncensored2008]

The Supreme Court Justices are the final arbiters of ethics and they are blowing you off, Anchovies.

Poor Anchovies.

This is the second time the democrat scum tried to lynch Justice Thomas.

 

[Uncensored2008]

No their not, legalities, not ethics, they can’t even recognize their own lack of ethics

You tried your best to lynch the black guy - but while you democrats never change, times do...

 

[zymurgy]

the most egregious ethics violations of our lifetime was from Ruth Bader Ginsberg - which she did apologize for, but I did not believe her apology to be sincere

Well, we got 27 exchanges in before the talk radio rhetoric hit

If being wined and dined by a secret other to the tune of millions a year and keeping it quite ain’t at least ethically questionable nothing is

 

[Geeko Sportivo]

Good question.

Good question my ass!

First of all, no one has seen any comments from the 3 Lady Justices regarding ethics on the Supreme Court.

And 2ndly, the question, "Who are you going to believe- you're lying eye's and ears"?, Is no proper way to frame a question, as it is a canned question, and suggests anyone who answers it to be lying to themselves, in the question itself.

SO you like asking canned questions. That's like someone asking you- "Have you been gay all your life"?

Would that be a fair or proper question to ask of you to answer- by suggesting you are gay?

Do you Trumptards even try to reason anymore?

Short answer- FUCK NO!

and i'll bet you wholeheartedly believe that left leaning justices have better ethics than the right leaning ones.....am I right? I expect that your bias will prove that, even though this has been an issue for over a century. I find it typically hypocritical of leftists to only NOW question the ethics because it's a Roberts led court

 

[signalmankenneth]

The high court is above the law, that why they call it the high court?!!

Just being sarcastic, it's going to take the legislative branch of government, to impose ethic rules for the high court?!! The democrat's will need to control both houses and the presidency to make this happen too?!! Thomas is a disgrace to the high court and should've never on it in the first place?!!

You mean you cried and whined because your attempt to lynch the black guy failed.

The court has done the bidding of the fascist left for so long, you just don't know how to handle it now that the constitutionalists are the majority.

No doubt you will attempt to assassinate Justice Thomas, next.

Quite simply, nothing justice Thomas did was illegal or unethical. This was a political hit job by the democrats in attempt to corrupt the independence of the judiciary.
