    Avoid a likely raucous showdown in city hall next week.

    It seems that the optics of deleting the conflict of interest parts of the ethics code is pretty unpopular.

    So unpopular Bruce Harrell even threatened to veto it. It's likely Cathy Moore believed she couldn't get a veto proof majority so gave up.

  16. 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!
