@pjpredhomme7699 Год назад

well first of all - what do you mean what she did ? there is nothing at this point known what she did 2. The supreme court has no oversight - they are not bound to any ethical standards - we know this because Clarence Thomas has already ruled on a case that his wife was involved in - an outrageous conflict that did not bother him in the least. So what Lawrence is reporting about here is a glaring flaw in our system - which is why I believe he started with the constitution . As a citizen one would expect the chief justice to act to preserve some type of integrity within the court - but obviously we are getting crickets - once again fine work of the heritage foundation

Senator Whitehouse of Rhode Island recently sponsored a Bill to require the scotus to have a written code of ethics and required protocol for specific issues. The SCOTUS is the only court in the entire united states that doesn't have an official code of ethics. Pretty amazing when you think about the impact for the highest court not to have a code of ethics. Currently, there's nothing stopping Justices from hearing a case against a company that they and/or their spouse owns. There's no requirement for them to recuse and no procedure or protocol if they don't. There's not even a way to make a complaint about a justice or court proceedings. You can write a complaint but there's literally no one nor place to send it. Even if a member of Congress wanted to file a complaint, they can't.

If the President has term limits, all levels of government should have term limits. Perhaps it's time to have mandatory retirement ages. They have that in the private sector, why not in government?

@katiedarcy1265 Год назад

It doesn’t really work how we think it would though… If the justices “turn over” too much, the laws we count on would constantly be in question. Take Roe v Wade for example, if the court had not experienced turn-over from death - Roe would’ve never been “re-heard” and it would still be in place. The same happens in the House and Senate. Even though there are no fixed term limits, there is a requirement to “re-win” your seat every few years. Natural turn-over from elections is why we seem to keep treading over the same ground in Congress every few years. It doesn’t work, that’s for certain; but not sure exactly what we do about that 🤷‍♀️ I am ALL FOR age limits though. That definitely would help and it would work. We have a minimum age already, we now just need a maximum age.

Hoping Adam Schiff’s push to create a more neutral Supreme Court happens very soon. Appoint 3 judges and end this nonsense of conservatives on the bench

@williamplatt1641 Год назад

If they are going to expand the court, they need to do it asap because it's starting to look like the republican party is re-writing laws and constitutional values, and they are gaining more and more control at state and local level politics that are designed to ensure their winning and and maintaining absolute control of government, law, and outcomes of elections for decades to come!

@jaybomb8371 Год назад

It stuns me that ANY JUDGE is appointed by politicians. And that their political views are paramount!!!! They are supposed to be impartial and make their decisions that are based on the LAW and not their own personal or political feelings. And certainly not what lunatic spouses want them to do. Good luck. Cheers Ausgranny 🇦🇺🇦🇺🤶

I think we can clearly see that we need to vote on Justices and on the Attorney General. States do it, and we've already had two recent presidents and their AG as co-conspirators: Nixon/Dean and Trump/Barr. The POTUS being the only person who can nominate both SCOTUS justices and their AG could change the foundation of our govt. Imagine if Trump had issued an executive order calling for permanent martial law after the election, I can see the 2020 scotus ruling it constitutional.

@barryberisha6519 Год назад

In the Netherlands they have a judicial independent body that nominates their supreme court justices and they have term limits where they have to retire at the age of 70. So the court is not politicized.

@martinhertog5357 Год назад

Trump also combines the appointment with a "quid pro quo", "I do something for you, in time you do something for me". People like Trump go Judge-shopping, which judge will rule in my favor, just like the Aileen Cannon did in the Documents case. Judges in the Netherlands are 100% impartial, no political feelings whatsoever.

Very helpful information. Thank you sooo much. I live in Alaska and can confirm there is a ton of snow this year😂. Regardless of Virginia’s proclamation the perception of unethical behavior is as bad as the real thing. She’s as involved in obstructing the transfer of the Presidency as much as others and her text to her boyfriend Mark Meadows proves it. Hope she’s indicted along with the other crooks. The Supreme Court has a long way to go to get my support. Thomas should have been removed long ago. There needs to be formal ethical guidelines that are in required of the Court. And if violated, immediate sanctions or removal needs to be adhered to consistently. Disgusted by the whole mess.
