Brett Kavanaugh says justices are working on ‘concrete steps’ on ethics

Justice Brett Kavanaugh said Thursday that the Supreme Court is working on “concrete steps” to address ethics issues at the high court amid an array of recent news stories on justices’ travel and relationships with political donors.

Appearing before an audience of judges and lawyers during a judicial conference in Ohio, Kavanaugh noted that Chief Justice John Roberts had pledged in May to assure the public that the court was committed to adhering to the highest standards of conduct.

“The chief justice spoke about that in May and said that we are continuing to work on those issues and that is accurate,” Kavanaugh told the audience. “We are continuing to work on those issues and I’m hopeful that there will be some concrete steps taken soon on that.”

Mystech,

From a group of people that thinks transparency is having a set list of prices for their rulings.

captainlezbian,

Cool. I want three resignations. Openly corrupt Thomas, the rapist who isn’t Merrick garland, and the lying christofascist who was placed at the last minute. Sure only one of these is related to the court’s corruptions. But they’re all a corruption of the court. I also want rules on what happens with the senate in the situations of the other two, because either they refused to do their constitutional job and should be punished once or they violated the spirit of the rule in a partisan power grab.

IHaveTwoCows,

Obama should’ve called national security crisis and arrested McConnell.

Stop electing Democrats who are pussies

bemenaker,

What McConnell did was shady, unethical, and as dirty is as it gets in politics, but all legal unfortunately. You can just arrest political opponents like that. To say so is even dangerous. You sound like the republicans who are openly calling for that and want to do that. That is the sound of authoritarianism and totalitarianism. That is the path we are trying to prevent from happening in our country right now. You cannot go and make statements like that. I hate McTurtle as much as anyone, but we can’t say to arrest him when he hasn’t broken any laws.

uid0gid0,

Obama should have appointed Garland anyway since Congress was refusing to give “advice and consent” as required by the constitution. Much like a recess appointment, but McConnell made sure Congress never recessed either, just to avoid that.

IHaveTwoCows,

“It wasnt illegal” is no excuse. He utterly defied the Constirution and his little rules that he made up can fuck right off. And his bullshit “let the American people decide” excuse is patently fraudulent.

bemenaker,

And you sound just like the people you despise. While the left needs to stop playing so nice, obeying the law is crucial. Without it, what are you fighting for?

IHaveTwoCows,

What law are you defending? “fascist Senate majority leaders can simply stop everyone from doing their job whenever he feels butthurt!”?

There was no reason whatsoever that Kavanaugh, Barrett, or Gorsuch should have ever been seated then. Since nobody has to follow the rules why have them?

CryptoRoberto,

Get about 8 beers deep.

Do a super weird, horrible fake cry on camera.

Now that everyone has turned of the TV, grab the prettiest female reporter. The Republicans won’t care about one more rape.

Smoogs,

Rapist says what?

Beer? I mean what?

GiddyGap,

Must be nice to decide for yourself which rules will apply to you.

lettruthout,

Yeah, our US police have been doing it for years.

Cheers,

I hope we revoke the Trump appointed asshats when Trump gets his jail time…

Step 1: How to avoid scrutiny that might put our ethics on display.

Step 2: legalize things we currently get that might appear unethical.

Step 3: profit

gbzm,

You know we’re fucked when a title like that isn’t even on nottheonion. We may have entered a"not ‘not the onion’" era

eran_morad,

Bruh. We’ve been way past that since 2016, at the very latest.

deegeese,

Ethics from another one of the guys who committed perjury in his confirmation hearing.

tastysnacks,

And the way he talked about beer, I’m pretty sure he drinks Coors Light.

Rakonat,

I get the idea that the final ethics code will be ‘Republican Aligned Justices can do what ever they want, Democratic Aligned Justices can be impeached for disagreeing with anything.’

bemenaker,

Well that’s the way republicans in congress already act, of Thomas would have been impeached and removed already. The ethics rules are just for internal discipline rules at SCOTUS.

bemenaker,

I mean Brett Kavanaugh is just the beacon of ethics.

Rapidcreek,

I wonder if it includes drinking on the job.

themeatbridge,

It’s not technically drinking if you squirt it up your ass.

This is truly the most fucked up timeline.

“I like beer”….

Hoomod,

Let’s also remember how when asked if he’d ever drank to the point of blacking out he pulled a “I don’t know, have you?”

slumlordthanatos,

sniff

Mostly_Gristle,

With a skin complexion like that I have to assume just about everything he does involves drinking.

detalferous,

This means that a billionaire has hired a contractor to build literal concrete steps outside his house.

It isn’t a commitment to clean up the illegitimate court: it’s a disclosure statement.

TheLurker,

We have evaluated ourselves and can assure you that we are committed to the highest standards of ethics.

In other words. Fuck off and stop asking questions. The supreme court is full of cunts.
