9-0

[berryberry]

Remember when the ill informed leftists were going around spouting bullshit abut that great American, Clarence Thomas.

Well the ill informed leftists looked foolish then and even more foolish now as the Supreme Court Justices release unanimous 9-0 letter slamming Democrat Senators over fake Clarence Thomas "ethics" scandal.

All 9 justices issued an extremely rare—even unanimous—statement. It details how and why the Supreme Court decides recusals on cases and other ethical issues. It is carefully written, well-reasoned, and entirely convincing. It should put to rest all the Democrats’ (fake, political) concerns about Supreme Court ethics.

Before very recently, it was rare to hear concerns about ethics at the Supreme Court. Democrat-appointed Supreme Court justices:

– taught overseas
– took trips with their friends (even an attorney with regular business before the Court)
– amended their ethics filings, after failing to disclose issues (including years of a spouse’s legal-related income)
– failed to recuse on matters
– even heard cases involving a spouse’s law firm

These were never treated as scandalous. We never heard a peep from the media—until now.

Democrat politicians and their lapdogs in the media are now politicizing and weaponizing judicial ethics. This is a political smear campaign to attack Republican-appointed justices with novel—and laughable—legal theories while ignoring the ethical issues with Democrat-appointed justices (like regularly taking undisclosed lavish trips with an attorney and Fortune 5 board member with regular business before the Court.)

Democrats are now running this political smear campaign because we have the first constitutionalist Supreme Court in 90 years. And these Democrats know the Supreme Court is the last line of defense protecting Americans from government overreach and tyranny. So these Democrats want to destroy the Supreme Court’s legitimacy and the Supreme Court’s judicial independence with the ultimate goal of destroying the Supreme Court. With court-packing, impeachment, term limits, and jurisdiction-stripping.

So, the fact is they all do it and it's((kosher)), right?
They all do it AND their wives do it, specifically Chief Justice John Roberts' wife pocketed +$10.3 million from private law firms, some of whom had business before the Supreme Court results in a shoulder shrug at best.
Let's keep commerce moving!

No - its the fact that they have specific internal policies and procedures that they follow with respect to recusals on cases and other ethical issues.

It is telling that all 9 unanimously responded to the partisan hitjob on Thomas. That tells you the Democrats hit job was garbage.

Furthermore, given the partisan divide of the court, do you really think some justice would not say something if they thought a fellow justice had a conflict of interest on a matter before the court and they did not recuse themselves?

No one recused as they all should have recused when Mrs. Chief Justice Robert's firm argued before The Supremes. Your argument boils down to that's exactly how justice is supposed to be paid for.
An alternate explanation was already presented. 9-0 occurred because they're all exposed. No one voluntarily relinquishes ill-gotten gains simply because racketeering and corruption are so hard AND expensive to prove.

And when exactly was this, what was the case and who were the attorneys. If you are going to spout BS, at least spout specifics
