they will police their own ethics violations im sure .......
The best thing to ever happen to George W. Bush is Donald Trump.
I hate Donald Trump as much as the next person, but the Bush Administration threw this country off the rails and we're still feeling their effects a full decade later.

Bush was either an idiot with bad advisors or evil. One of those two things is true.
When they pick judges for the SCOTUS they must factor in how corruptible they are as a positive attribute.
Honestly, give it up.
Believe it or not, legal headhunters get paid by law firms on commissions. And handsome commissions at that when it comes to BigLaw. In house legal departments don't need them as much.
Oh, and by the way, I'd love to understand that "firms that had business before the court" qualifier and how it worked.

Definitely an idiot with bad advisors. He doesn't come off as an evil person. More like someone who has Daddy issues. Cheney and company took advantage of that.
At this point, I think we just need to burn down the current court and start over.
He is evil in my mind which makes his weird corgi paintings seem dark as hell.
I’m more concerned with the pressure clerks and young lawyers would feel to work with her.
If John Roberts’ wife calls you, you don’t blow it off like she’s just another headhunter.
It seems like it was discussed here a while back, and the conclusion was that it's not uncommon for big law firms such as these to have Supreme Court cases, and that none of her placements had direct involvement.
Legal doesn't equal ethical. There's a whole myriad of s*** that is legal because someone paid the right people enough money. It doesn't make any of it ethical or moral.
However, being the wife of a SCOTUS Justice should equal not getting work from firms who either argue cases in front of or do other work with/for SCOTUS.
1. I'm quite sure the Chief is not that catastropically stupid.
2. You know what happens when headhunter emails and calls come in? Delete - hang up - delete - hang up.. 3. Roberts wife is not making that money off of young lawyers and clerks. Those are lateral partner driven numbers. Scotus clerks' market value is very very well known to them, and they know the specialty boutiques where they'd go. They don't need headhunters.
So you’re saying that big law partners wouldn’t answer the phone when her name pops up on the Caller ID? Sure thing.
You know there are people who work with her because she’s the CJ’s wife.

LOL, you'd blow your spleen all over this board if the story was about the husband of Ketanji Brown Jackson raking in cash as a headhunter.
Everything can be rationalized if it leads to saving the unborn, and kneeling at the alter of the Federalist Society.
No, I wouldn’t actually. And for the record, justice jackson has been very impressive in her first term.
Aside from a very poorly conceived War in Iraq, what did he do to make you think he was evil? Was he a very poor President who seemed to be very easily manipulated by people with their own agenda? Absolutely. I just don't see him as Evil although he did get sidetracked by a war that in hindsight we should have never engaged in. Although it does seem that all Western Intelligence seemed very broken there.
Never ever vote or TRUST a conservative, everyone of them can be bought off, especially those sitting on a bench.
Because of a personal bias the Iraq War is enough.
It’s an arid country. Where were they going to grow the flowers to greet you as liberators?
There’s a difference (unfortunately) sometimes between what is legal and what is ethical. And for the Supreme Court, well, there’s no organization in America that should be held to higher ethical standards yet they clearly don’t.
Members of Congress, the president and most other offices in the country are at least somewhat held in check via elections, ethics commissions, even expulsion.
There’s nothing to hold the SC accountable.

I did get offered hashish which was polite.
It's kind of weird that over the last few days there has been a post on this board about, Clarence Thomas, then Neil Gorsuch and now John Roberts. It's almost like the leftists are trying to destroy the only real American branch of government left. Funny how no posts on the leftists on the count. I know, weird, right?
God damn, you're dumb. It just blows me away every time you post. Remarkable.
Do you think the stories are legit, or fake?
I feel like I’ve been consistent here. What pisses me off is there no oversight, no rules that the SC is REQUIRED to follow. They operate entirely on the honor code, with no penalties if they break them.
Do I think everyone on the court has done stuff that is questionable ethically? Probably. Which is a problem because whether they are or not, there’s nothing to enforce if they have.
You’re also kidding yourself if you don’t think conservative reporters are scrambling to find dirt on the liberal judges. We’ll see what if anything they find.
…which has nothing to do with the sound and fury folks are trying to create.
It has EVERYTHING to do with it. Trying to create? Him and the other justices actually acknowledging that they need to be better would do wonders. his silence speaks volumes.
The “only real American branch of government left“ is undergoing self destruction even as you post. It is simply amazing just how self serving they are revealed to be… Crooked as all get out.
C’mon, Abby. You support the “ethics“ on display by multiple SC members?
Ok then, when is the last time the chief testified before congress. I’ll wait.
You mean like you and others want to blow your spleen, but you don’t know enough about the rules/laws so you’re in between?
Or, it does. Thomas', and apparently Gorsuch's, alleged integrity issues don't shine poorly on him. He should have no motivation to obfuscate ethical reforms, one would thing the Chief Justice would welcome them.....unless he has motivation otherwise.
