    Here I found an article that sums up my thoughts, but the liberals silence and even signing on with the conservatives saying that they don’t need ethics makes them complacent in the act. This is the same argument about bad cops just one bad apple, but people never finish the saying, spoils the bunch. The bunch that sits on the supreme court are a rotten to the core and if you think they’re not you’re deluding yourself.

      Idk if this points to them being complicit. But beyond that, there is a biiiiiig difference between staying silent and taking actual kickbacks. I do think there’s no way in hell a government body can police itself on this though. And I think congress needs to rein this in. Sadly, I’m sure what we will see, and we are, is the republican body absolutely refusing to help push legislation forward to address this. I do think it’s also healthy to have some skepticism towards anyone in the political theater. But let’s be clear, roberts coming out today and saying that no one gets to tell SCOTUS what ethics to follow is a huggge red flag for what this court has become under justices placed there from underhanded tactics.

      A opinion piece from the hill… From Juan Williams, and with ZERO context provided to readers here that he’s a devout fox news shill.

      Cool weak propaganda attempt.
