Brett Kavanaugh says justices are working on ‘concrete steps’ on ethics
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.
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.”

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.

What McConnell did was shady, unethical, and as dirty is as it gets in politics, but all legal unfortunately. You can just arrest political opponents like that. To say so is even dangerous. You sound like the republicans who are openly calling for that and want to do that. That is the sound of authoritarianism and totalitarianism. That is the path we are trying to prevent from happening in our country right now. You cannot go and make statements like that. I hate McTurtle as much as anyone, but we can't say to arrest him when he hasn't broken any laws.
Obama should have appointed Garland anyway since Congress was refusing to give "advice and consent" as required by the constitution. Much like a recess appointment, but McConnell made sure Congress never recessed either, just to avoid that.

And you sound just like the people you despise. While the left needs to stop playing so nice, obeying the law is crucial. Without it, what are you fighting for?
