roberts is in an unusual position where he must daily confront the question: what's more important legacy versus wads of secret cash for betraying the american people's trust?
personally, i see roberts as a scumbag who will only do what serves his very short-term interests, legacy be damned.
Justice Roberts seems like a wimp to me & I don’t believe he has the willingness or guts to devise a Code of Ethics for his Court! They certainly do need one but everyone knows they would never accept such a Code devised by Congress! How can the people push for such a measure??
I suspected Alito, because it was his 'baby' and I think he is a despicable man unsuited to the position he occupies. He has no understanding /respect for the Constitution and zero empathy for the millions of people whose lives he has impacted negatively. The court itself has 'stepped in it' and lost respectability. They ignore the Constitution and remove a right that was established and hard won. They have lost respectability, kind of like the Catholic church! Cruel, without empathy, and harming so many.
The Supreme Court is even more stodgy than the US Senate. I don’t see ANY substantive change coming from the court regarding rules of conduct or ethics because Chief Justice Roberts lacks the moral fortitude required to change the court, otherwise he would have done it already. Never going to happen as long as he is Chief Justice.
Every lawyer admitted to the Bar of the Supreme Court must swear to abide by its ethics rules. Until the 9 justices do the same, and are subject to an independent ethics panel, the whole institution is just “justice theater”.
As long as the Federalist Society has its paws on SCOTUS is is detrimental that we seat more Judges in ‘24. We need to get the Senate and House seats in order to accomplish this so we need to get serious. More imperative after yesterdays debt ceiling outrage.
If Congress passed the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act which would, among other things, require the Court to adopt a binding code of conduct, the right-wing six would undoubtedly rule it unconstitutional on "originalist" grounds.
Of course, if they were really originalist, they'd declare their own role as determining whether a law is constitutional or not as unconstitutional as the Constitution did not give it to them.
"The Court’s marshal, Gail A. Curley, who oversaw the inquiry, said investigators had conducted 126 formal interviews of 97 employees, all of whom had denied being the source of the leak."
This more than suggests that the inquiry interviewed only those who were themselves in a position to leak the draft, and that investigators neglected to question all other, less privileged, court employees who still may very well have known who did the deed.
As such, it hardly qualifies as anything close to an exhaustive investigation.
The Supreme Court has already "drowned in disrepute." Roberts already has laid claim to the Roger B. Taney award. Alito, Thomas and the others have proved to be lousy historians on Second Amendment and other issues. And Alito in particular seems to have his head up the rear end of the 17thC. The court's majority, were their decisions not so serious, might be seen as judges from Gilbert and Sullivan. However, instead of a 'source of innocent merriment' they are perverting the arc of justice. I don't mind them worshiping the past in their private lives; I do object to them taking the rest of us there in their political decisions.
Alito told us all who he was when he yelled 'you lie' at Obama ! Ever since then I've considered him a low-life, and nothing has happened since to change my mind ! Scum on the SC !!!
Your reasoning makes sense. Additionally, by leaking the decision, and then announcing that whoever leaked it put the judges’ lives in danger, he could then play VICTIM and completely ignore the fact that his decision put the lives of countless women in danger by forcing them to continue life-threatening pregnancies. But with the leak, he becomes the victim instead of the heartless destroyer of women’s rights over their own bodies and life choices.
Says a lot about the decline of a nation when even the SC can no longer be trusted ....
alito is a poisonous traitor.

Why did they investigate if the justices were not included in the interviews?? A sham and a waste of time.
It clearly confirms that the court is politically corrupt.

No. It was George Santos!
Yep, Alito.
