#recuse — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #recuse, aggregated by home.social.

  1. #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.

  6. The watchdog group Accountable.us & Rep Hank Johson (D-GA) issued a letter calling for #ClarenceThomas’s #recusal from the #Oklahoma case because of his ties to Nicole Garnett, the #NotreDame #law prof, who helped shepherd it.

    But unlike #AmyConeyBarrett, Thomas did not #recuse.
    
Garnett was a clerk for Thomas in the late 1990s & has maintained a close relationship w/ him, which Accountable & Johnson say call into question his objectivity in the case.

  11. This looks superb:

    Clothes/textiles recycling, and:

    "We take e-waste from any brand in any condition - even smashed. We sanitize all data and break down items into components for either reuse or materials recycling.”

    trashie.io/

    For EOL #Apple products it’s probably best to send straight to Apple (apple.com/shop/trade-in#recycl), but I'm going to try this for a load of cables etc. that might otherwise be “wasted”.

  16. 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.

  21. My favorite 3 sentences (1 of 2) - "As objectionable as your conduct was prior to when the flying of those flags came to light publicly, calls for your recusal from January 6th-related cases once the flags became publicly known gave you an opportunity to recommit to the principles of judicial ethics & the credibility of the Supreme Court. You did not."

  25. Justice #Alito must #resign

    In the wake of the sustained crisis of institutional legitimacy facing #SCOTUS, #SamuelAlito must resign, acc/to a letter sent today by @CREW to Alito. The letter outlines Alito’s failures to avoid the appearance of #bias, & his failure to #recuse from cases where his impartiality would reasonably be questioned, in violation of the #law & the #SupremeCourt Code of Conduct.

"All of this comes amid the worst #scandals in the court’s #history, which raise serious doubt about the justices’ independence & #integrity (e.g. Samuel #Alito 's #insurrectionist flag flying, #ClarenceThomas' refusal to #recuse himself despite his wife’s participation in the #coup attempt, Thomas’s multiple #financial disclosure violations & receipts of millions of dollars in #gifts). These, coupled with obvious gamesmanship to benefit “their side,” will permanently besmirch this court."
