[Paywall] #SupremeCourt #Ethics Bill Blocked In #Senate Amid #SamuelAlito Controversies
by Antonio Pequeño IV Forbes Staff
June 12, 2024"The Senate failed to advance a bill Wednesday designed to introduce ethics reform for the Supreme Court, with Sen. #LindseyGraham, R-S.C., shooting down the effort as Supreme Court #JusticeSamuelAlito faces ethics controversies and rejects calls to recuse himself from cases related to former President #DonaldTrump.
Key Facts
"Graham blocked a Democratic effort to pass the bill by unanimous consent, which requires the support of all senators.
"It was a widely anticipated outcome following #Republican pushback and votes against the bill when it passed the Senate Judiciary Committee in an 11-10 vote last year, while Justice #ClarenceThomas was embroiled in his own ethics controversies reportedly linked to accepting undisclosed financial favors.
"The bill, known as the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal and Transparency Act, sought to enshrine a code of conduct for Supreme Court justices and grant the ability to bring complaints against justices who may have violated the code.
"The legislation also tried to establish rules governing the disclosure of 'gifts, income or reimbursements' for the Supreme Court, which has no binding code of conduct, unlike lower federal courts."

Thousands Sign Christian Petition Demanding #SamuelAlito Resign: 'Unfit'
Opinion by Natalie Venegas
June 16, 2024"A petition created by #FaithfulAmerica is nearing its goal of signatures on Sunday as they demand Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito to resign amid his recent controversies.
"In its petition from Wednesday, with a goal of 15,000 signatures, Faithful America, an organization of #Christians supporting #SocialJustice causes while opposing '#ChristianNationalism,' is demanding the conservative justice resign after he was heard in a secret recording agreeing that the United States should return 'to a place of godliness' as well as for two flags that were previously flown outside the justice's home."

Convicted felon Donald Trump. That factual description written into history Thursday by a jury of 12 New Yorkers interrupts a streak of people with far more power and privilege enabling the disgraced 45th president to evade accountability for far more serious offenses.
This wasn’t the case I expected to see result in a guilty verdict first, or maybe ever. The conduct covered by those 34 felony charges brought by Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg–falsifying business records to commit or conceal other offenses, which in non-legalese means Trump hiding hush-money payments to suppress news coverage of some of the times he had sex with women besides his wife–seemed tawdry and even trivial compared to the other charges Trump faces. And the logic of Bragg’s charges was not easy to follow as the others.
Most stark among the other cases: The attempted murder of democracy that Trump staged after the 2020 election, culminating in the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the Capitol.
Special prosecutor Jack Smith indicted Trump for that last August. But a feckless Supreme Court–on which two ethics-deprived members, Clarence Thomas (R) and Samuel Alito (R), show multiple signs of being at least insurrection-curious–has instead slow-walked its way through handling Trump’s absurd claim that former presidents warrant lifelong immunity from prosecution for acts during their time in office.
As a result, Smith’s case may not come to trial until after the election that could see Trump returned to the White House, from where he could fire Smith and order whatever lackey he appoints as his attorney general to drop the charges.
A separate case that could see Trump and his minions brought to justice for their attempted self-coup now sits in a ditch not because of the waffling of judges but because of a prosecutor’s foolishness. Fulton County, Ga., district attorney Fani Willis decided to hire the lawyer with whom she was having an affair to serve as her special prosecutor, and of course the defense found out.
The first case Smith brought against Trump–charging the former president with taking hundreds of classified documents to his Mar-a-Lago compound in Florida and then refusing to return them while being extremely careless in his custody of them–brings the added karmic richness of targeting the guy who campaigned on Hillary Clinton’s self-serving e-mail habits representing an unforgiveable threat to national security.
But Trump-appointed judge Aileen Cannon has been so solicitous of Trump’s interests and so slow in handing down rulings that she has all but assured that this case, too, won’t go to trial until after the election. In the process, Cannon’s contortions in favor of Trump may have single-handedly invented a new job description: emotional support judge.
All of these cases could have been rendered less eventful had 10 more Republican senators voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment in February 2021. A conviction would have banned Trump from holding “any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States”; instead, many of these cowards said that they punted because courts would hold Trump accountable.
After all that, 12 unnamed New Yorkers showed up and did their job over the past few weeks in Judge Juan Merchan’s court as Bragg’s lawyers effectively made their case. And they did so even though there is a real risk that the efforts of some of Trump’s more rabid supporters to dox the jurors will lead to one of his most deranged followers shooting one of these dutiful citizens–or a random person whom they think looks like one of them–on Fifth Avenue.
We owe these 12 men and women our thanks for showing that even former presidents are not above the law. But we cannot thank them by name.

The #SupremeCourt upheld a #SouthCarolina congressional map, easing #Republican #racialgerrymandering. The 6-3 decision, authored by Justice #SamuelAlito, dismissed prior findings of racial bias due to insufficient evidence. This ruling, criticized by Justice #ElenaKagan, raises the proof bar for gerrymandering cases, potentially weakening #VotingRights for minorities and reinforcing GOP electoral advantages.

The movement’s triumphs are now visible but its engine remains hidden:
A billion-dollar network of groups, most of which are registered as tax-exempt charities or social welfare organizations.Taking advantage of gaps in disclosure laws, they shield the identities of most of their donors and some of the recipients of the funds.
Among those who’ve been paid by the groups are leading thinkers and individuals with close personal ties to #Leonard #Leo — including a whopping $7 million to a group run by a close friend and his wife.
They also include a for-profit business for which Leo himself is chairman and which received tens of millions of dollars from his nonprofit network.
Leo’s role as the central figure in this movement has long been known, culminating in his acquisition last year of what many believe to be the largest political donation in history.
Few are aware of the extent to which the movement’s baby steps were taken in concert with #Ginni #Thomas.
Two months before the #CitizensUnited decision, but after the justices had signaled their intentions by requesting new arguments, attorney #Cleta #Mitchell — later to play a role in Donald Trump’s false claims about the 2020 elections — filed papers for Ginni Thomas to create a nonprofit group of a type that ultimately benefited from the decision.
Leo was one of two directors listed on a separate application to conduct business in the state of Virginia.
Thomas was president. She signed it on New Year’s Eve of 2009, and Crow provided much of the initial cash. A key Leo aide, #SarahField, would come aboard to help Thomas manage the group, which they called #LibertyCentral.
