The conservative justice indicated support for a code of conduct similar to the one that applies to lower federal court judges.
Conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett indicated Monday she would support a code of conduct for the Supreme Court in the wake of recent claims that some justices have fallen short of required ethical standards.
Speaking at the University of Minnesota Law School, Barrett said it would be “a good idea for us do it” and suggested that the justices are broadly in support of a set of principles similar to those that lower court judges are required to follow.
“There is no lack of consensus among the justices. There’s unanimity among all nine justices that we should and do hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards possible,” she added.
And while there’s a chance Trump will be the next president so he can throw out the remaining liberal judges and bring in basically far-right extremists
You’re down voting this guy, but isn’t this exactly what they tried to do in Wisconsin? They only backed down because asked impartial retired justices to weigh in, who advised against impeaching a judge just because she disagrees with Republicans.
Donald Trump would not bother asking (or checking to see if he has the authority to do so) he would just do it.
Wisconsinite here. Seconding this.
Trump and his extremist mob will do literally anything they can think of with zero concern for law, consequences, any of that.
Imagine your only drive is to grab as much power as possible at any cost (except to yourself) and you have no conscience, no ethics, no empathy, no sense of responsibility to anyone or anything but you. Because that’s the type we’re dealing with, here.
