    Default How the Supreme Court can start to regain Americans’ trust in its ethics

    Unlike other federal judges, the justices on the Supreme Court are subject to no code of conduct. It is time for the court, led by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., to set ethics standards for itself that are transparent, consistent and actually work. At stake is no less than its legitimacy, which has been battered by growing public doubts that it truly operates as an apolitical arbiter of the law.



    The Post reported in June that Justice Thomas’s wife, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, urged at least 29 Arizona lawmakers to overturn the popular vote in their state following the 2020 presidential election, asking legislators in one email to “fight back against fraud” and “ensure that a clean slate of Electors is chosen.” Despite his wife’s efforts to upend the election result, Justice Thomas failed to recuse himself earlier this year from a case involving the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack by Trump supporters who were seeking to achieve the same end.

    Most Americans couldn't spell CAT if you spot them the C and the T. I don't think they're in any position to judge the Supreme Court.
    Don't be afraid to see what you see

    What's worse, imo.
    Is many of these same people are staggeringly arrogant.

    A bizarre combination...ignorance and arrogance.

    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Why don't you post a poll asking JPP if they think I'm woke. Then post one asking JPP if they think you are.
