All the justices of the high court seem to have violated some code of conduct from time to time. Of note, though the lower courts have a code of conduct, the high court does not. No doubt SCOTUS considers itself able to govern itself. But, as we all know, given the opportunity to take advantage of a situation, we will, even if illegal. The justices may figure that the only ones to hold them accountable are the ones that voted them in, and that’s not likely.
Unfortunately, as our nation has stopped attending church, or other religious centers, we have also weakened our personal honesty. All of our troubles goes back to who we are, now.
