20. There won't be any "legislative solution"

This is all for show. But I am all for it. It shines a light on some of the rot in the SCOTUS. Hopefully the Dems keep the House. If not, this panel's time is very limited.

But wait - the panel will come to the conclusion that impeachment is off the table but a code of ethics should be instituted. Then let's see all the Rs in Congress argue against a code of ethics. All of the republicans are a goddamned corrupt joke. And I wish to fuck that America would wake up and clean house. But hell, with voting rights being smashed, it looks like we're fucked thoroughly.

I really feel sorry for the Dem-appointed justices, as they are the only SCOTUS justices who are qualified and have integrity. The rest of 'em are political hacks doing the right wing's bidding. This current court is a joke.

Think about it - in lower courts, judges recuse themselves if there's even a hint of a conflict of interest. It's clear that this court doesn't have the integrity to do that unless it's cemented in a code of ethics. Roberts should have insisted Thomas recuse himself before they took any cases regarding the last administration and the insurrection. Hell, Thomas should have done it on his own, but when he didn't, Roberts should have insisted. But neither of them has an ounce of integrity.

Yes, chief justice Roberts - your court is a fucking joke. THAT will be your legacy, if you give a shit.
