wdlindsy, "The man whose cases Alito is compromised on rose up in his defense, even as a jury in Manhattan deliberated on criminal charges against him."
~ David Kurtz, pointing to a post Trump made yesterday that was a "bear hug" to Alito for refusing to recuse himself

wdlindsy, "It [i.e., Trump's "bear hug" posting about Alito on Truth Social] was a marvelous distillation of the corrupt conservative-supermajority Supreme Court that Trump helped to create and which he sees as his ultimate salvation against the four – count ’em, FOUR – ongoing criminal prosecutions he faces."

Nonilex, #SCOTUS Chief Justice #JohnRoberts on Thurs declined to meet w/ #Democratic senators to discuss #SupremeCourt #ethics issues in the wake of reports that controversial flags were flown at Justice Samuel #Alito's houses.
In a letter to #Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-IL, & Sen Sheldon Whitehouse, D-RI, Roberts said he "must respectfully decline your request for a meeting," citing concerns about maintaining judicial independence.
Nonilex, Un-be-fucking-lievable
rwg, I have a teaching #ethics question for @commodon / #mediaStudies folks.
Would it be too frustrating to ask undergrads to find a particular news story that I know for a fact does not exist? The reason I ask is because there is a professional field that references this non-existent story because a respected figure in the field claims to have caused it to be.
After the student struggle to find the story, the discussion would be about ethics and research.
I can provide specific details if needed
grimalkina, @rwg @commodon from a learning sciences pov I would advise thinking very carefully about whether you would be violating students' trust and whether this is an inclusive experience. Even with repair afterwards, so many students particularly underserved students experience a lot of shame and low trust in classrooms. I think being actively misled by an instructor would have been something I would've been really angry about as a student even when I got the overall point.
grimalkina,
wdlindsy, "Tens of millions of Americans reasonably doubt that Alito can fairly discharge his duties. Alito is gaslighting the American people—a technique he learned from Trump. Having been caught in his lie he is doubling down on the lie—while pretending to be aggrieved that Americans doubt his veracity.
This debacle is a stain on the Court and an indictment of Justice Robert’s leadership."

wdlindsy, “Justice Alito has no problem telling American women they lack the right to make decisions about their own bodies and health. But apparently, he can’t tell his wife to take down a flag that calls the integrity of his decisions on the Supreme Court into question. He doesn’t care. He has life tenure and there are no repercussions binding ethics rules he must obey.”

wdlindsy, As David Badash reports,
"U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has formally refused to recuse from any and all cases involving indicted ex-president Donald Trump or the January 6, 2021 attack on the seat of the American government and American democracy itself."
Constitutional law scholar and professor of law Eric Segal responds:

wdlindsy, “To be clear, if we found a love letter written to Donald Trump from Sam Alito saying, ‘Can’t wait till you’re back in office,’ Alito still would not recuse. He has no moral compass at all.”

jackiegardina, Imagine the response if Justice Jackson had this flag flying outside her home.
heidilifeldman, Though not serving as Trump’s attorney when he appeared as a witness today in Trump’s trial for criminally falsifying business records, Robert Costello is a lawyer, bound by New York’s Rules of Professional Conduct. Costello repeatedly showed his ethical unfitness, violating the most basic principles that inform the entire code. I’ve screenshot the very first paragraph of the entire code, highlighting the most pertinent phrases. 1/ #LawFedi #Ethics #LegalEthics
heidilifeldman, Costello, who clearly seeks to curry Trump’s favor, behaved like any lawyer embedded in organized crime: rather than uphold the quality of justice, he used his knowledge of the law to subvert justice and undermine the legal system. 3/
heidilifeldman, #Journalists — your publications are missing one of the biggest stories of what will become American history: how a former President, running for another term, is using the first criminal trial of anybody who has the held the office, to further his own quest to dismantle U.S. constitutional democracy. 4/4

#SupremeCourt Justices #Alito and #Thomas proudly violate #Ethics rules without remorse or recourse.
We need an enforceable #CodeOfEthics for the Supreme Court — and we need it now.
meganL, As much as Stewart's centrism can drive me up the wall, and as much as I wanted Roy Wood, Jr. to get the permanent host job, I do enjoy Stewart being back on Mondays only.
Despite the headline, this segment goes into bipartisan US congressional corruption, including insider trading.
SteveThompson, This SCOTUS is corrupted.
Toxic partisan politics is corrupting every segment of society, bit by bit, from civilian life to government to church to media to education and everything in-between, eating away at it all, like a cancer.

heidilifeldman, It has been quite a while since I read a hard copy of newspaper. Took a tea break at a cafe, and was greeted by this pleasing headline and story. #ethics #LegalEthics #LawFedi
gooser3000, @heidilifeldman the lesson to learn is that if you conspire in a coup attempt you best be successful if you want to avoid consequences.
dougiec3, “I am in shock that a lawyer stood in the U.S. Supreme Court and said that a president could assassinate his political opponent and it would be immune as ‘an official act,’”
The trouble SCOTUS is having with this is that many of them are Joe Biden's political opponents.

ucaccessnow, "I was stunned. The guy who developed IVF was a eugenicist? Part of me couldn’t believe it. Yet, the part of me that had studied the eugenics movement knew it was all too possible. Shortly after the email exchange, I reached out to the Eugenics Society of Britain—renamed the Galton Institute in 1989 after the founder of eugenics, Francis Galton (the group is now called the Adelphi Genetics Forum)—and asked one of their staff members if Robert Edwards was a member of the organization. “Yes,” they proudly affirmed."

ml, I am so deeply disappointed in academics who gladly leap to using AI to generate art & video for their social media, presentations, blogs, and papers.
While I'm in grad school for STEM, I had an entire life before this of people making fun of me for making art. "Making art doesn't pay!"
Why doesn't it pay?
Well, because folks in other fields are so eager to thieve it while themselves getting paid & getting views based on those images.

Washington — Conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo said he will not comply with a subpoena issued by Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee as part of their ongoing investigation into ethics practices at the Supreme Court.

Democrats are seeking documents about gifts, trips and lodging provided to any member of the high court.

ProPublica, Trump’s Lawyers Didn’t Disclose Proposal to Put Up Full $464 Million Bond
An appeals court reduced Trump’s bond by more than 60% after his attorneys claimed it was a “practical impossibility” to pay the full amount.
Their failure to disclose a proposal from a billionaire financier may have violated #ethics rules.
Life_is, German Jetzt fühle ich mich von all den Hollywoodfilmen über Superschurken, die von superhelden besiegt werden, betrogen.
Die einzige Superkraft des realen Oberschurken Trump ist seine unermessliche Dummheit und seine Schurkenhelfer zeichnen sich nur durch superungeschicklichkeit aus.
kingdomkrumb, @ProPublica Trump’s team “may have violated ethics rules”.
I’m shocked. 😐
ttpphd, “Violence” in medicine: necessary and unnecessary, intentional and unintentional
Johanna Shapiro, 2018. Phil. Ethics, and Hum. in Med."I further suggest possible explanations for the origins of these kinds of violence in physicians, including the fear of suffering and death in relation to vicarious trauma and the consequent concept of “killing suffering”; as well as why patients might be willing to accept such violence directed toward them."
ttpphd, "As has been noted, structural violence injures some, but protects and benefits others. Acknowledging that one is implicated in the suffering of others is a painful realization. To safeguard themselves, many physicians might prefer to avoid it."
ttpphd, "When physicians are unable to honestly confront and acknowledge suffering; when out of fear they deny their privilege and the way in which healthcare systems often disenfranchise the patients they are trying to serve; when they inappropriately indulge in violent language out of self-protection and a desire to establish a heroic, invincible image – all these result in harm to patients, families, staff, and colleagues."
whoosh, "Nobel Laureate economist Angus Deaton has delivered a ferocious rebuke to his own profession, saying economists have failed to understand that #capitalism is about #power."
"when efficiency comes with upward redistribution — frequently though not inevitably — our recommendations become little more than a license for plunder”

"“We have largely stopped thinking about #ethics and about what constitutes human well-being."
cdarwin, Nobel Laureate economist #Angus #Deaton has delivered a ferocious rebuke to his own profession, saying economists have failed to understand that ⭐️capitalism is about power.⭐️
Deaton lobs a series of truth bombs at his own profession, the result, he says, of “changing my mind, a discomfiting process for someone who has been a practising economist for more than half a century”.
These include:
🔸“We have largely stopped thinking about #ethics and about what constitutes human #well-#being”.
🔸If “economists should focus on efficiency and leave equity to others, to politicians or administrators… 🔹the others regularly fail to materialise🔹, so that when efficiency comes with upward redistribution
— frequently though not inevitably
— our recommendations become little more than a #license for #plunder”.🔸“#Historians, who understand about contingency and about multiple and multidirectional causality, often do a better job than economists of identifying important mechanisms…”
🔸Far from being “a nuisance that interfered with economic (and often personal) efficiency”, #unions “once raised wages for members and nonmembers, they were an important part of social capital in many places, and they brought political power to working people in the workplace and in local, state, and federal governments.
🔸Their decline is contributing to the falling wage share, to the widening #gap between executives and workers, to community #destruction, and to rising #populism.”
🔸“I am much more sceptical of the benefits of free trade to American workers and am even sceptical of the claim, which I and others have made in the past, that globalisation was responsible for the vast reduction in global poverty over the past 30 years”.
🔸Immigration contributes to inequality.
But Deaton’s main point is a recognition of how #power distorts #policy:
“Our emphasis on the virtues of free, competitive markets and exogenous technical change can distract us from the importance of power in setting prices and wages, in choosing the direction of technical change, and in influencing politics to change the rules of the game.”https://www.crikey.com.au/2024/03/12/nobel-laureate-economist-angus-deaton-capitalism-power/

That second meaning can prove particularly pernicious to #residents of color, said Dr. Adaira Landry, an adviser at Harvard Medical School and co-author on a recent journal article on the “overpolicing” of #BlackResidents.”
