How the party can clean up the Supreme Court and address the president’s son’s ethics scandals.
. The legal defense of Thomas’s behavior hinges on the lack of any enforceable reporting requirements for his office. The ethical defense hinges on the notion that Thomas is too principled to allow financial gifts to sway his legal opinions.
And while Thomas and Crow may see eye to eye on the issues anyway, it seems at least suspicious that the Court’s conservative bloc has developed a series of lucrative personal friendships with conservative billionaires. As the New Yorkhas pointed out, the conservative legal movement has been preoccupied since the 1980s with stopping Republican Supreme Court appointees from wandering toward the ideological center once installed.
There are channels to handle ethics complaints against other judges, not to mention members of the executive and legislative branches, and these don’t prevent any of these bodies from functioning. Somehow the Supreme Court alone is so fragile that establishing any mechanism to vet ethics complaints would paralyze it.
