The Spouses Of Supreme Court Justices Shouldn't Be Forced To Disclose Anything

[BS Filter]

With the current political makeup of Congress it is nearly impossible to impeach a siting Justice

What Democrats expect is the Supreme Court do a better job of enforcing ethical standards on its members

Why didn't democrats reprimand Ginsburg when she entered the political arena by giving her opinion on Trump?

 

[struth]

Democrats are pushing for strict ethical standards for ALL Justices
Why would Republicans oppose it ?

Dems remained silent when that happened...it shows they aren't really concerned.

Republicans are calling them out, moreover Repubicans realize the reality that the SCOTUS is a seperate Co-Equal branch of Govt and can make their own rules on that sort of thing, not the Dems in Congress....who face it, want to do away with the Court all together, so they can push their demafascsit agenda through

They dont need the money and it leads to suspicion of corruption

We should not allow outside income for any federal employees

Who says they don’t need the money?
Who are you to rule on their finances?
Federal Employees are allowed to have outside employment or run their own business ….as long as they report it

If it results in a potential conflict with their current job, they must quit

 

[JimH52]

Judges at all levels are supposed to maintain ethical impartiality.
None of their personal or business connections are supposed to influence their decisions. An appearance of a lack of impartiality should lead a Judge to recuse themselves from a case

With Ginni Thomas, her political and business connections are relevant

This woman sleeps with a Supreme Court Justice?

Clarence Thomas' wife told Mark Meadows that 'the Biden crime family' and 'ballot fraud co-conspirators' would be 'living in barges off GITMO to face military tribunals for sedition,' texts show

Ginni Thomas pushed QAnon-adjacent conspiracy theories and strategized about ways to overturn the 2020 election 'Heist' in texts with Mark Meadows.

oh it's greedy to want to work??

In the case of powerful federal officials, yes

If they care about money so much dont accept a position in the government

Jill, I dont know, but you forget hunter biden and the Big Guy

I didn't forget him.......however, since you brought him up.....I don't care if he is sent to prison today, tomorrow or last month......but you are still deflecting from the original OP....again...but cool, let's go there...


Why do you give a pass to Kushner for literally receiving billions of dollars the minute he began working in the White House?



The same Kushner who LITERALLY helped a Saudi dictator get away with murdering a US based journalist....so much so, that same Saudi dictator bragged on having Kusnher in his pocket.

Saudi crown prince boasted Jared Kushner was ‘in his pocket’

Reports by Intercept come weeks after President Trump’s son-in-law and special adviser had security clearance revoked.

Who says they don’t need the money?
Who are you to rule on their finances?

If they can make more in the private sector no one is forcing them to be in government

So?

Then why do Republicans oppose stricter standards for Supreme Court Justices?

Because they're politically motivated.

 

[rightwinger]

If they can make more in the private sector no one is forcing them to be in government

Almost everyone would make more in the private sector

Are you claiming that someone working in the high cost DC area or a recent grad just starting to work for the government doesn’t need to supplement their income?
As long as it is reported?

No one is forcing them to work in government

But they are free to moonlight after their regular private sector job

I agree
More reason why we need STRICT Ethical Standards for SCOTUS

If you won’t recuse yourself, the other justices should force you to

Why don’t you agree?

if they wont follow the standards already in place why would they follow new ones,,,

His wife doesn't work in Govt. She got a job in the private sector.

They have no standards that are enforced

If SCOTUS does not want someone else enforcing ethical standards on them, they need to do a better job of keeping their own house

The Roberts Court is losing the publics confidence

Then why do Republicans oppose stricter standards for Supreme Court Justices?

Because there doesn't need to be, this is just the dembots attacking a black man on the Court.

thats what you get from leftist judges that rule on emotion and ideology and not the constitution,,

would still like to know what influence thomas had from these claims against him

They haven't had an issue. This is in fact nothing more then demafascist trying to undermine the Court...so they can impose their own Court, that will allow them to push their demafascist agenda through.

We've seen tyrants use these tactic throughout history around the world to get rid of the judicial branch.

Just curious who do you think is going to "enforce" these "stricter ethical standards?" and who's going to come up with these standards?

They DO have an issue
The credibility of the Supreme Court

If they can’t convince the public that they are impartial, they have no purpose
