#SCOTUS announced Tuesday that it will now employ #software to help the justices identify when they should probably #recuse themselves from cases. We say “probably,” because there’s still no actually enforceable #ethics code binding #SupremeCourt justices & the #ChiefJustice has made very clear that he will ignore any attempt to impose one. Instead, the Supreme Court drafted a 14-page pinky swear that they will follow some of the same rules that bind lower court judges.

Make no mistake - No #leadership #resolve #honesty #integrity #values #SCOTUS #ChiefJustice #JohnRoberts has #declined to directly #respond to a #congressional #request to #investigate #ClarenceThomas’ alleged #ethicallapses. Roberts instead referred request from #SenateJudiciary Chairman #DickDurbin to the #JudicialConference, which serves as the policy-making body of the federal courts. This is not about #policy - it is about a long documented history of #corruption https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/22/politics/chief-justice-john-roberts-clarence-thomas/index.html
