In the minds of the left, their actions were a violation of ethics rules they think should be in place today. In fact, they did nothing wrong based on the rules in place at the time.
I know that technically there’s no code of ethics for SCOTUS, but I think a case can be made for saying the rules for federal judges apply to SCOTUS as well.
We mustn’t forget that Robert’s wife is busy behind the scenes getting paid by people and corporations who want a good decision from these republican appointees, merrily legislating from the bench. The chances are high that the other three republican appointees are also on the take.
Oh my. These poor minds are totally twisted. Up is down. Sun rises in the west. trump, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch are ethical persons. Jan 6 was a legitimate protest. Desantis is a freedom loving governor. I am sorry to state the minds are lost, never to be recovered. I wish they could be saved but are too far gone.
‘Shady and corrupt’: Add Barrett real estate deal to list of Supreme Court ethics scandals
A Notre Dame professor who had just taken a leadership role at RLI purchased Barrett’s private home months after she was sworn in in October 2020.
The group, which advocates for religious freedom, was founded in 2020 and has filed numerous amicus briefs in cases related to the issue—related to questions surrounding abortion, public health precautions, and school prayer—since it was established. RLI has filed at least nine briefs with the court since the sale of Barrett’s home.
“The endless drip of shady and corrupt Supreme Court dealings just further underscores the need for reform,” said Kyle Herrig, president of the watchdog group Accountable.US. “Every federal judge is bound to an ethics code requiring them to avoid behavior that so much as looks improper, except for Supreme Court justices. Chief Justice Roberts has the power to change that, but so far he hasn’t shown the courage. If he fails to do his job, Congress must do theirs.”
CNN also reported Thursday that RLI funded a previously reported trip Alito took to Rome shortly after the court overturned Roe v. Wade, stripping millions of people across the U.S. of the right to abortion care. In Rome, the right-wing justice mocked critics of the ruling, which has been decried as a violation of international law by human rights experts.

Perhaps the other three reactionary corporate “Justices” Garsuch, Keganaugh and Ancilla Barrett will join them.

What is wrong with the liberal Justices? Are they too stupid to criminally take advantage of their positions to enrich themselves with bribes?
It always seems to be the smart conservatives, the ones who belong to the Federalist Society crime family.
