#SCOTUS

Always remember, John Roberts is the scum that stole the election from the lawfully elected President Gore and gave it to the imbecile George W. Bush.

That set the stage for the PNAC cabals 9-11 plans and the Gulf Wars, and the reign of McConnell stacking the court and Donald Trump.

Roberts is as corrupt as Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch. Oh and Kavanaugh and Barrett too, though they are pikers by comparison.

The fish rots from the head first.

"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

David Kurtz goes to say,

"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."

#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.

I have a teaching question for @commodon / 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

@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.

@rwg @commodon although this particular example is fascinating, so I can imagine the value! Just sharing a pov for your consideration.

"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."

“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.”

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:

“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.”

Imagine the response if Justice Jackson had this flag flying outside her home.

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

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/

#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.

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.

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.

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.

@heidilifeldman the lesson to learn is that if you conspire in a coup attempt you best be successful if you want to avoid consequences.

“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.
