    The notion that individual Justices can decide for themselves whether their own conduct violates the Constitution, federal law, or the Court’s Code of Conduct is untenable in our Republic and clearly violates the fundamental and original principle of due process that “no man can be a judge in his own case.”

    I’m not naive enough to think the Supreme Court will willingly agree to oversight, but I’m glad they’re getting called out for their shit. Hopefully it will lead to a change in the long-term.

      The only way change happens is if the people hold them accountable. Institutions, politicians, will not clean this mess up of their own accord.

      Insist on change; insist forcefully if you have to.
