you and your colleagues sent to Chief Justice John Roberts demanding he conduct an ethics investigation within the court, what can we really expect the court to do for itself given that the whole self-policing thing is kind of part of the problem here?Well, there are two problems. One is the refusal to self-police. And that can be solved by simply not refusing to self-police any longer. Every other court, all of the circuit courts of appeal, for instance, have a self-policing mechanism.
JR: And what’s the enforcement mechanism there? Because, tell me if you disagree, that seems to be at least one of the most important issues — not just what the rules are, but what sort of realistic means there are to enforce them, right?Yup. I would say first, that before you even get to enforcement, there’s got to be someplace where a complaint can come into the court. There’s got to be an inbox.
Once the spotlight is on the fact that these justices have put themselves in the position of being exclusive judges in their own cases, it becomes untenable to defend. JR: So that’s an important general principle that you’ve laid out.
Why is this not on EVERY news station FBI Arrests Two Men for Running Secret Chinese Police Station in New York
The defense for Clarence not reporting Ginny’s income must be that he does not recognize her as a legal spouse because their inter-racial marriage is protected by the same substantive due process that he abrogated in Dobbs.
Lololol....talking about ethics
It’s time for African Americans everywhere to walk away from the plantation of the Democratic Party! dnc
Clarence Thomas needs to resign. His name is in the press too much and not for anything positive. Definitely thinks he's above the law
Its funny when the court lean to the left. Not one Democrat wanted anything to change. If fact when the Democrats could not pass bills they wanted they used the left leaning court to get their way. But now thats it is leaning to the Right they are crying
Democrats America You won't see this on MSNBC A group of black teens maul a white women in downtown Chicago. The next mayor of Chicago excuses this barbarism because we can’t “demonize youth who have been otherwise starved of opportunities.”
He just hopes nobody looks at his entire life. Lefist are so blinded
Obama had eight years to change it. Bidens had two
Chicago's criminal baboon troops 'celebrate' their new, and even worse, woke 'mayor'
Lawmaker: There ought to be a law The Public: Then make one Lawmaker: We can't, republicans The Public: Then make one once you control the house Lawmaker: Sorry what? The Public: Then make one... *Lawmaker already walking away.
Hey Whitehouse how's that private club.Your attacks on Judge Thomas are RACIST.
I mean, sure, I guess? But what's the remedy? You'll never get 10 Republicans to impeach a Supreme Court justice, so kind of seems like whatever investigatory system you set up, why would they care?
Everyone of the SC justices need to be brought into a hearing and asked if they have participated in illegal gifts.
Since Givernment owned media is setting the stage for Democrats to impeach Thomas, Republicans must impeach Biden
Democrats platform… ban future generations, no more families , leave us defenseless, punish us if we do not agree with you, take my wages to support others, porn in the classroom, tells us we hate each other, they hate women, abandoning the constitution , bill of rights Mao etc
Whitehouse, the last person who should be talking about ethics.
Why do democrats always target the one black male SCJ? Almost as if they don't like free-thinking black men with rich white friends. Imagine nobody's surprise.
Sounds good!
Now do Biden. Pretty sure the money he has been paid by China is actually treasonous.
Cry more. You're shills for the DNC.
😂😂😂
It wasn't that long ago the Koch brothers wined and dined a couple supreme court justices, annually, and the public could only watch😠.
Whitehouse still go to an all white country club?
It’s time to investigate Shelly’s dark money problem. Why is media protecting him?
Isn't he the guy who is a member of those 'whites only' clubs?
Democrats are racist towards black republicans. Joe Biden: 'You ain't black unless you vote for me'.
The hearing to appoint the Justices to the position should expose any possible ethical problems?
Another RACIST Dem wanting to get rid of, in this case, a highly qualified black man. Research something about RACIST Dems & this goes back to 1870. Who is Sen Hiram Revels? Only the first black Sen. only to be rejected by the RACISTS I speak of for 6 months before being seated
So now you show that MR Thomas did absolutely nothing wrong because there is no law against it thank you for admitting the truth
Be careful for what you wish for. The ACA wouldn't have been allowed to stand without these 'gifts'.
Racist democRats love attacking justice Thomas
If they were majority liberal this article wouldn't be written. You're state media.
All for it, age old saying absolute power corrupts absolutely. There should be accountability and term limits for supreme court justices. Supreme Court should also abide by law. I wonder what happened about Jinny inquiry.
We need to fire half of the court our rights have been violated! Fire them! Get a new progressive court that cares about us and the future. No more backwards conservatives
It MUST change !!! There should be no one not held to account ! Why should USSupremeCourt be the only people to not be ? Even (clears throat) ex presidents are…
Modern day lynching
Does he still belong to a whites only club?
Says one of the most corrupt unethical clowns From RI
This guy?
Not only does that need to change, it has to change post haste along w/investigation of rogue Supreme Court Judges that violated the norms of the court.We have to increase the number of judges on the bench & set a term limit for the judges at the same time as well.Let’s act now!
You guys keep regurgitating the same nothing News over and over,completely ignoring the obvious….
That anyone is surprised by corruption in the most powerful institutions in USA irrefutably demonstrates their deep unseriousness. Fucking children.
Let's make bribery/ campaing financing illegal. Why is bribery not illegal in Congress?
Neither should Congress. Release the name of those Congressmen who paid off sexual harassment cases using OUR money.
Bravo Sen. Whitehouse, a thinker in the Senate is a rarity, latch on to this man he's important to America. WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE SHOULD BE GOOD FOR THE GANDER. or nobody at all.
And the other branches of government are better HAHAHA!
I don't even think 6 of them should keep their jobs.
Why, Congress does and ignores it everyday. Swalwell slept with a Chinese spy, Pelosi made tens of millions of of insider info... He went on vacation with wealth 25 year very dear friends lucky them. No conflicts. Jealous? My opinion
But congress can investigate its own ethics lol
You want more child molesting sympathizers on the court don't you!
Investigate the Biden family first
thereidout It's not like the illegitimateSCOTUS is calling balls and strikes on the law anymore
Control freak
It's an equal branch of government. The Senate doesn't control it and can't control it.
thereidout If only there were some branch.. some type of govt comprised of a elected leaders in 2 chambers, I know we can call it Congress, it can be comprised of 2 chambers a House and a Senate. SenWhitehouse wait we got those. Get er done! Sarbanes Oxley Act for Govt Employees. ALL
SenWhitehouse All of them or just the conservative ones ?
Perhaps the Senate should focus on its own ethical problems.
I want to see the names on the Slush fund created to protect members of congress for their Sexual Attacks on women!
If folks like Whitehouse call balls and strikes Clinton's and Biden's will continue to get intentionally walked and MAGAS will be out every time. Let the constitution be followed.
Whiteclub has opinions on ethics 😂

DrLindaLMoore Good point SenWhitehouse ...
Shelly has his own ethics problems. Cover them.
Would he have come up with this conclusion if there were more liberals in the Supreme court. The Supreme Court attempts to buffer us from political views that are not always in the best interest of the people.
All politicians participate in this kind of behavior. There is only one reason out of nowhere you seem to care about it and it happens to be the political party you always go after. Biden admin cant stack the courts so have to get rid of one to put in one they want. Corruption
Hilarious watching ppl defend SupremeCourt corruption like it just couldn't work any other way than absolutely zero oversight or ethics rules full stop. The USSC should enforce avoiding even the APPEARANCE of corruption ItsNotRocketScience transparency NoOneIsAboveTheLaw
👏🏽💯Agree.
It has to self govern; if not, it wouldn’t be Supreme, and it would fall under the control of whoever or whatever governs it’s ethics.
Giving humans oversight over other humans is pretty much the only option, and it's fatally flawed.
Decades-long member of a discriminatory all-white yacht club says what about the Black man who is a justice?
The Supreme Court is supreme for a reason!
