Seems like it’s a good time to introduce some better ethics for the Supreme Court. They have so much power so it’s not okay to be accepting super expensive gifts and luxury vacations from wealthy people. Glad democrats are going to give it a try at least by pushing for some stronger ethics reform.


Ohhh, I'm SO SURE you would be so fair minded that the Supreme Court justice "might not know" how their staff were extorting book sales as a condition for the justice appearing in their store to do a booksigning appearance, it Sotomayor were a CONSERVATIVE justice.

In the case of Clarence Thomas, he went for an expenses-paid weekend with a wealthy friend, and yet his wealthy friend has no connection to ANY CASE pat present or future before the U.S. Supreme Court, by even the wildest stretch.
And yet you condemn Clarence Thomas for merely having a wealthy friend, and even press for his resignation over it from the Supreme Court.
Over what, exactly?
Any vile excuse for the Democrat/Left to attack a conservative justice, and attack the integrity of the court itself, OVER NOTHING.

You're just piling on slanderous assumption, on top of slanderous assumption. Par for the course, from the Democrat-Bolshevik party.
