  1. @realTuckFrumper Mike Johnson no longer has his Confederacy (has been defeated), but is still on his own crusade against the Fourteenth (Reconstruction) Amendment, which Louisiana & the other ex-Confederate states had to ratify to regain representation in Congress.
    SCOTUS's 1965 decision in Griswold v. Connecticut (use of contraceptives) was based on the Fourteenth Amendment.

    P.S.: Leonard Leo's protΓ©gΓ© Johnson is either intellectually unable or unwilling to tell contraception from abortion.

  2. @trainman Citizens United is certainly not only proof of utterly fucked-up judicial independence, but also a compromised Separation of State & Corporations' power.

    Every justice, who approved Citizens United & still overpopulates the Supreme Court, that is John Roberts, Samuel Alito & Clarence Thomas, deserves to be thoroughly investigated, prosecuted & tried, to be brought to justice.

  3. @marcelias American Bar Association: Founded in 1878.

    Federalist Society: Founded in 1982.

    Federalist Society's ex-(vice) president Leonard Leo put 5 of 6 biased con-servative/illiberal majority justices on the bench.
    Time to regulate & contain the partisan influence of Leonard Leo & the Federalist Society, for the sake of Americans' democracy, human & civil rights.

  4. Supreme Court justices are humans, not saints or a club of messiahs.

    They deserve to be treated accordingly - because no one is above the law, and equal justice mustn't be a hollow phrase.

    Keep demanding an ethics code for SCOTUS in public discourse! Keep up the pressure!

  5. @BrennanCenter Leonard Leo & his Federalist Society have turned the Supreme Court into an anti-liberal, corrupt & subversive court, tp the disadvantage of the thought of
    "We the People", perverting "certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

  6. @Catawu Time the "third-most important man in America" (quote Clarence Thomas), a private, Federalist-Society leading & directing individual is vastly getting talked about & officially investigated for subverting U.S. judiciary, juggling $billions of dark money from reactionary donors, interest groups & clerical agents eager to turn back time & people's liberties.

  7. @opethminded My preference would be ABA, to kind of preserve the separation of powers.
    And creating an oversight institution to oversee the oversight office would create an endless bureaucratic monster.

    Independently choose the appropriate independent overseers & Thomas-like excessive corruption should soon be history β€” after bringing corrupt justices to justice.πŸ˜‰

  8. @opethminded 😎 To be instituted #SCOTUS_OIG #SCOTUSInspectorGeneral, following the long-established example of other government agencies/ departments / authorities.
    We'll certainly agree, that an ethics-monitoring & -enforcing authority is needed to put an end to potentially corrupt activities like those reported on concerning Thomas, Roberts, Alito et al.

  9. SCOTUS justices without corporate interests could easily feel relieved from conflicts of interest.

    Time to institute a code of conduct for the Supreme Court.

    "Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito together own shares in 19 companies that could see combined tax relief of more than $30 billion if the court issues a broad ruling in the Moore v. United States tax case and strikes down a one-time corporate tax imposed in 2017."

  10. @Itchy Damn right: Leonard Leo, Knight of Malta isn't talked about & investigated enough for his subversive activities undermining & obstructing prior SCOTUS decisions relating to Americans' civil & human rights & in the long run plotting to establish a different kind of government, being closer to an autocratic/theocratic regime.

  11. @dschmidthawk πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ Every single American needs to know, what Federalist-Society's & Catholic Opus Dei's Leonard Leo is inflicting on United States' system of justice & the Rule of Law, placing his subversive FedSoc agents Roberts, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh & Coney Barrett on SCOTUS bench, while being longtime friends with America's most corrupt & ethics-resistant SCOTUS justice & husband of Jan 6 insurrection supporter Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, Clarence Thomas.

  12. @marcelias Organizations, which can't win in free & fair elections take to criminal acts like voter suppression & election subversion.
    If they're serially committing such fraudulent acts, they should be banned from the ballots on ground of conspiracy against rights.
    State legislatures codifying injustice are providing hostile public disservice to the people, justice, the United States & their Constitution.

  13. What do Clarence Thomas & Donald Trump have in common?

    Not only the sympathy of insurrection supporter Ginni Thomas, but above that
    they share the very same sociopathic disregard for right & wrong.

    "…
    A former fundraising staffer for the Koch network said the organization’s relationship with Thomas was considered a valuable asset: β€œOffering a high-level donor the experience of meeting with someone like that [i.e. an ideological relative on SCOTUS]β€” that’s huge.”

  14. A thing the majority of SCOTUS justices may be surprised to hear & read:

    🚨Justices & judges Are. Not. Above. The. Law!🚨

    And with every precedent they overturn, as obviously planned, they're trashing another big piece of SCOTUS's credibility.

    Time for America's most seasoned & eloquent legal scholars to come together & work to disprove & stop the corrupt & subversive Federalist-Society-fueled & funded interpretations of the Constitution & overturning prior pro-constitutional SCOTUS rulings, which centered around Americans' civil rights & liberties.
    The Leonard-Leo-sponsored judicial insurrection to corrupt the benches & weaken U.S. government must be met with the full force of legal expertise, commitment to & expansion of the constitutional liberties already gained before Leo's Federalist Society even appeared on the scene.

  15. No wonder Clarence once ("jokingly") called Leonard "Richelieu" Leo the *third-most important man in the U.S.*.
    The man most harmful to the American judiciary & Americans' human & civil rights.

    "From those early discussions among Leo, Thomas and Crow would spring a billion-dollar force that has helped remake the judiciary and overturn longstanding legal precedents on abortion, affirmative action and many other issues. It funded legal scholars to devise theories to challenge liberal precedents, helped to elect state attorneys general willing to apply those theories and launched lavish campaigns for conservative judicial nominees who would cite those theories in their rulings from the bench."

  16. A dark web of dark-money jugglers, benefitting from the Citizens United ruling they had their sticky fingers in to legalize their covert shady financial & manipulative operations.

    [Ginni] "Thomas, wife of a sitting justice, in concert with [Leonard] Leo, was secretly building the sort of dark-money front group that would soon be greenlit by the court’s decision. That group would be funded by Harlan Crow, the billionaire who spent decades secretly enriching the same justice who would sit on the case and the same spouse who would benefit from the outcome of the case. And the dark-money group founded by Ginni Thomas would go on to advocate for cases argued before the court as her husband heard those cases."

  17. @persagen That's for sure gonna put a fat smile on Elon's face!

    All corrupt Federalist-Society SCOTUS-implants do need to recuse.

    That means all six of them!

    Every SCOTUS justice, who opposes a Code of Conduct, an Office of Inspector General for SCOTUS, term limits & expansion of SCOTUS's number of justices is underqualified to have a seat on SCOTUS's bench & should either go by her-/himself or be impeached by the people & their congressional representation.

  18. @ZhiZhu What Confedered senator Tom Davis apparently meant to say:
    β€œAt some point in time, the right of the white state to see the unborn white child born does take precedent over the white woman’s right to her body.”

    Now, as we all may know the former slaveholder states always had their militant issues with the Reconstruction Amendments to the United States Constitution.

    Nonetheless, quite some time ago the then not FedSocuted Supreme Court of the United States held in its 7-2 ruling, that
    "State criminal abortion laws... violate the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which protects against state action the right to privacy, including a woman's qualified right to terminate her pregnancy."
    And neither SCOTUS nor single (or conspiring, insurrectionary) states can invalidate the Due Process Clause, the Fourteenth Amendment or the human right of women to bodily self-determination, for the racist sake of white "Volksgemeinschaft".

  19. @SeanCasten Yes, it is!

    Norman Ornstein is right, when he concludes:

    "Wrong on the facts, wrong on the history, on the wrong side of honesty and ethical standards, Justice Alito and his colleagues need to be reined in. Since Chief Justice Roberts won’t do it, it is time for Congress to step up and save the court from itself."

  20. The anti-abortion movement & its purpose of preserving White Supremacy:

    Racism & xenophobia have long been essential part of the anti-abortion movement's fabric.

    "...
    Tim Bishop, a representative of the white nationalist Aryan Nations, said, β€œLots of our people join [the anti-abortion movement]…. It’s part of our Holy War for the pure Aryan race.”
    ..."

  21. @Yoshi @DiverDoc Each of the six may have a pair, including Amy Coney Barrett β€” with the signatures of Leonard Leo & his fucking rich subversive donors all over them.
    No reason to give a damn about their fake resistance to dismantling essential parts of the Constitution like the 14th Amendment (=> Roe v Wade/ abortion...) & related prior SCOTUS rulings.

    Leonard Leo & the Federalist Society he controlled/ controls installed (corrupt) enemies of the Constitution & the United States on the bench, not only SCOTUS's.
    Anyone want to prove the opposite?

  22. @DiverDoc Yup! Tells a lot about the corrupted judicial "independence" of the Federalist Society's SCOTUS majority of 6.
    The recurring pattern: 5 against America & SCOTUS precedents, & 1 playing the chastity belt pretending to protect the people of the United States.

    Still got the echoes of Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing bouncing in my head, accompanied by Lindsey Graham's tragicomic clownshow outrage.

  23. @TonyStark Nominees of Trump- & SCOTUS-whisperer Leonard Leo, Catholic Knight of Malta, which he - for some reason - is very proud of.

    Leo's influence on the composition of U.S. judiciary turns out to be not only to the disadvantage of unwillingly & potentially endangered pregnant American women.

  24. @Beachbum @Pomegracias @tdwllms1 @curtisysmith @Mary625 Roberts is a helpless & hopeless chief justice.
    "But if the Supreme Court’s other conservatives are undeterred by the decline in public support for the court and eager to reshape Americans’ privacy and intimacy rights, then Roberts may be helpless to stop his colleagues from turning the institution into one of the most unpopular and revanchist iterations of the high court in U.S. history."

  25. @LisaToddSutton That opinion coming from two Federalist Society members is indeed a bit of a surprise.

    Their article's conclusion:
    β€œDonald Trump cannot be president β€” cannot run for president, cannot become president, cannot hold office β€” unless two-thirds of Congress decides to grant him amnesty for his conduct on Jan. 6.”

    Then put it into practice, folks!

  26. πŸ€‘πŸ€” Clarence Thomas, (still) Supreme Court justice β€” and darling protΓ©gΓ© of the rich & wealthy.

    "ProPublica found that since he was appointed to the court in 1991, Thomas has received gifts from benefactors including at least 38 destination vacations, 34 flights by private jet or helicopter, a dozen VIP passes to sporting events including in a skybox, stays at resorts in Florida and Jamaica and a standing invitation to high-end golf club.

    At least twice, the late billionaire businessman Wayne Huizenga sent his personal 737 jet to pick Thomas up and bring him to South Florida, ProPublica reported."

  27. @persagen πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Any one of Leonard Leo's SCOTUS agents will claim Congress doesn't have the power to oversee or regulate a SCOTUS Leonard Leo installed.

    Because, as Clarence Thomas publicly joked, Leonard Leo is the "number 3 most powerful person in the world".
    What's the power of Congress then, compared to Leo's? Watch it to believe it:

  28. @flexghost Alito is just repeating his agent handler Leonard Leo's official version of his defiant attitude towards congressional power with the intent to dodge Congress's scrutiny.
    Leo & his SCOTUS agents are coordinating public statements.

    Find Leo's defiant letter on his brazen, baseless refusal to cooperate with the Senate Judiciary committee referring to an ethics investigation into some SCOTUS members here: documentcloud.org/documents/23

    BTW, Congress has the power to impeach, convict & remove justices, Mr Leo, Mr Alito, Mr Thomas etc.

  29. Even the Founders, who evidently had an ethical compass unlike Leonard Leo, would find it utterly questionable & doubtful, that Leo's SCOTUS agents are holding their offices in "good Behaviour".

    That's why Congress had been given the power to impeach & remove justices & judges, if their behavior is iunacceptable & intolerable.

    If Congress can do that, it can also subpoena figures like $billions-juggler Leonard Leo, who are actively working to subvert the Separation of Power & the Separation of Church & State, which all branches of power are held to preserve, uphold & defend against all dark-money manipulators attempting to compromise the people's carefully checked & balanced system of government.

    Leonard Leo even seems to believe in Clarence Thomas's assessment, who called Leo the third-most important person in the U.S., if not in the world.
    Looking at Leo's special SCOTUS agents, that's most unfunny, to say the least.
    Time for a *Lex Leo" keeping his hand off of United States judiciary forever!

    P.S.: Article Three's "in good Behaviour" is ***interpreted*** as meaning *lifetime tenure* for judges & justices.
    Since behavior in fact not always proves to be good, impeachment & removal from office has been an appropriate remedy to judicial misconduct/ misdemeanors.

  30. @BrennanCenter Allegedly, the primary goal of life tenure is to insulate the public official(s) from external pressure.
    Whereas that evidently does not preclude the likelihood, that some public officials frankly do not wish to resist external pressure, if it's combined with luxurious amenities, monetary recovery & ideological/partisan compatibility.

  31. @tzimmer_history The Committee on Codes of Conduct of the Judicial Conference of the United States' proposal to bar membership in the Federalist Society for members of the judiciary is definitely worth being thought about & recommended.

    Gorsuch & the other 5 SCOTUS-majority agents of Leonard Leo are β€” to no one's surprise β€” also members of the Federalist Society, implanted by Federalist-Society puppeteer Leo into the Supreme Court of the United States.
    It shouldn't have come so far, to the disadvantage of millions of pregnant women, voting rights & civil rights of Americans of color & millions of members of vulnerable minorities like the LGBTQ community.
