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.”

They could start by at least following the same rules every other federal judge must follow. The fact that they don’t simply agree to those rules and then work on strengthening the rules for members of the highest court in the land shows how disingenuous Kavanaugh’s claims are.

TheJims,

Is it “ethics week” already? Who’s private yacht will they be working on?

Unless they’re resigning, it’s not going to work.

imPastaSyndrome,

Concrete steps? Like throwing them down them?

If only we had ethics going in

So, about those baseball tickets…

bradorsomething,

Boy, these charges of impropriety are sure creating a Devil’s Triangle of problems.

hddsx,

All purchases made in excess of $10,000 related to a current party in a case being heard by the court is recommended to be reported. Any justice who does reports a purchase in excess of $10,000 will have a conversation with the Chief Justice

xkforce,

Those concrete steps are covered in black ice

HipHoboHarold,

Dracula and other vampires discuss the ethics on drinking human blood.

Gingerlegs,

Well I’m relieved!

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.
