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.”

This guy couldn't even avoid blaming the Clintons in his confirmation hearing. I have zero confidence in him and neither should you.

Concrete steps? Like throwing them down them?

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

Mandatory boofing with PJ and Skee every Friday.

If only we had ethics going in

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

Well I’m relieved!

Is “concrete steps” another “drinking game”?

Weird how a "developed" country doesn't have anti corruption laws for their judges.

[-] Narrrz@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

unless by concrete steps, he means concrete shoes, then I don't think they're going to address the underlying problem

[-] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Ol’ Bong Rip Brett surely has the confidence of the peons, yes?

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Justices: ugh! Unethical things in our court! That's disgusting! But where are these unethical things? There's so many things out there. Where, where exactly are the unethical things?

The Supreme Gang goes to Court
