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

In 2021 & 2022, #AileenCannon took weeklong trips to the luxurious Sage Lodge in Pray, Montana, for legal colloquiums sponsored by George Mason, which named its #law school for #Scalia thanks to $30M in gifts that conservative judicial kingmaker #LeonardLeo helped organize.

There are some differences: For instance, Justice #Alito told Fox News that his wife hoisted the flag in response to Ms. Baden’s vulgar insult. However, a text message & the police call — corroborated by Fairfax County authorities — indicate that the name-calling took place on Feb. 15, weeks AFTER the inverted #flag was taken down.

In a letter to #Democrat ldrs in the #House & #Senate, #Alito said that flag & a 2nd, #religious-themed flag were raised by his wife, w/o his knowledge, & the incidents do not meet the conditions for #recusal outlined in #SCOTUS’s code of conduct.
Alito disclosed for the 1st time that he was not aware of the #UpsideDownFlag until it was called to his attention & that his wife resisted taking it down.

The upside-down flag was aloft on Jan 17, 2021, images showed. #Trump’s supporters, incl’g some brandishing the same symbol, had *rioted* at the Capitol a little over a week before. President #Biden’s inauguration was 3 days away. Alarmed neighbors snapped photographs, some…were recently obtained by The NYT. Word of the flag filtered back to the court, people who worked there said in interviews.

We cannot have confidence in Barrett’s independence and impartiality when it comes to Trump. She compromised herself by accepting nomination to the Court from a President who made it clear he expected the Court to keep him in power. 4/4 #LawFedi #JudicialEthics #Recusal #andersonVgriswold #AmyConeyBarrett

In his required annual #FinancialReport, #ClarenceThomas said he opted to fly on the #PrivateJet of his friend & #benefactor, #HarlanCrow, for ONE of the trips on the advice of his security detail. The justices faced heightened security risks, #Thomas noted, after the May, 2022 #leak of the court’s majority opinion to eliminate the nationwide right to #abortion & overturn #RoeVWade.
(except he took a number of similar travel gifts prior to the #Dobbs leak & decision)

“Fuck ‘owning the libs.’ We’re buying conservatives: Supreme Court justices. I invested in one at three-fifths market value; it consistently pays for itself.”
~ Harlan Crowe, with Leonard Leo and Paul Singer **None of them is known to have said this. They didn’t have to.

The justice wrote he was not required to #disclose the trip or #recuse himself from his benefactor’s cases.
