Each justice would be required to publicly release their opinions & disclose how they voted on issues considered on an emergency basis, sometimes referred to as the #ShadowDocket. Such decisions, which have become more common & increasingly controversial in recent years, don’t identify how each justice voted.

It would require the #IRS to initiate an #audit of the justices’ tax returns each year, release the results & make the tax filings public. Nominees to the court would have to disclose 3 yrs of tax returns.
Another measure would allow a two-thirds vote of the court to force a fellow justice to #recuse from a case.

During the rollout, each president would approve justices in the first & third year of their terms.
The bill would also require a ruling by ⅔ of the high court & the circuit courts of appeals, rather than a simple majority, to overturn a #law passed by #Congress. #Wyden said the current court has been too quick to discard #precedent & curtail #rights by narrow majorities.#SCOTUS #ethics #JudicialEthics #Judiciary #JudicialReform #CourtReform #SCOTUSreform #PartisanCourt #ActivistCourt #USpol

Ruling in favor of 16 #Republican-led states that sued the admin, a federal judge put the program on hold while the court considers the merits of the case.

[ oh & that’s to say nothing of the fact that a #SupremeCourt *Justice* literally just threatened the sitting #President of the #UnitedStates of America. ]
[ “Be careful” indeed. Mother F⁕⚠︎er. ]
listen to the clip of #Gorsuch’s interview on #FauxNews: https://www.foxnews.com/video/6359892007112

…make no mistake, this is bully talk coming from #Gorsuch & #SCOTUS. The #SupremeCourt has no official capacity or duty to make #laws or enforce them. It is the sole jurisdiction of #Congress to make laws, & thereby create #legislative reform. It is also the power of the #President, as the leader of his #political party, to recommend & advise to his party members in Congress to make laws that he believes would be beneficial to the Republic.

What government is coming after me, Mr. Justice? I am a #law abiding citizen. The only branch of the govt that seems to, at this specific moment, be coming after a good citizen like me & my rights is #SCOTUS… of which you are a member…. So which is it, Mr. #Gorsuch, the *deep-state*… or you…? I would love a ferociously #independent judge & jury of my peers to make decisions, but that is pretty damn difficult when you just made #BRIBERY #LEGAL!
-
I would not consider #Gorsuch nor the other #Conservative *Justices* my peers. They do not represent any of my #political, #moral, #cultural, or #intellectual #values at all. I also would not consider a Judge that goes & airs his opinion on #FOXNews, like dirty laundry, #independent — not by any meaning of the word. Furthermore, the line “when the government’s coming after you,” betrays even more political #bias.
-
Then #Gorsuch finished with the most cryptic and disconcerting [threat] warning:
“And so I just say, be careful.”
Why not just say, “stand back & stand by?”
Maybe Justice Gorsuch broke into Justice #Kavanaugh’s liquor cabinet, but one wonders what on earth Gorsuch means by “don’t you want a ferociously independent judge & a jury of your peers to make those decisions.” Certainly, I do. I do not know what that has to do w/preventing #SCOTUS reform.
-
“You’re not going to be surprised that I’m not going to get into what is now a political issue during a presidential election year. I don’t think that would be helpful.”
Justice #Gorsuch said this immediately before getting #political & outright god damned #creepy.

Customs & Border Protection records revealed that #ClarenceThomas & his wife, #GinniThomas, took a round trip between Hawaii & New Zealand in Nov 2010 on #HarlanCrow’s private jet. Sen #RonWyden, #Democrat of Oregon, writing to Crow’s lawyer, demanded that he supply more info about the #financial relationship between the 2 men.

Justice #ClarenceThomas Failed to Reveal More Private Flights, Senator Says

Reform, then, is less an effort to restrain the #independence of the #SupremeCourt than it is the beginning of a long battle to restore the independence that was lost when #conservatives seized this branch of our government for their own ends.

The #Constitution means whatever the #JohnRoberts court says it means, even when that meaning conflicts w/the basic principles of American #democracy.
It is against this backdrop of institutional #dysfunction & #judicial arrogance that President #Biden, fresh from his decision to leave the campaign trail in favor of his vice president, introduced his three-point package of #SupremeCourt reforms.

#Trump’s claim was absurd on its face: namely, that former presidents are immune to prosecution for any #crime committed under color of #law unless impeached & convicted. The kernel of logic in that argument, that the powers of the president confer some level of #immunity for certain acts, has been expanded beyond recognition to immunize Trump from prosecution.

No #SCOTUS decision on #Trump’s absolute #immunity claim.
Chief *Justice* #JohnRoberts announced that Monday is the final day of the term.
Monday will mark the first time since 2020 that the Supreme Court term runs into July. The court extended the session that year because of delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Before that, it had not happened since 1996.

It is not clear how much weight Jackson’s view would carry in the lower courts, but it is an important one. Jackson’s point was that while #SCOTUS limited the #statute to #crimes involving the impairment of #evidence, Congress’s #Jan6 certification of the #2020election itself “plainly used certain records, documents or objects — including, among others, those relating to the electoral votes themselves.”
