Supreme Court gives itself a GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD

"Supreme Court says it is adopting a code of ethics, but it has no means of enforcement!"

"The Supreme Court adopted its first code of ethics, in the face of sustained criticism over undisclosed trips and gifts from wealthy benefactors to some justices, but the code lacks a means of enforcement. The policy, agreed to by all nine justices, does not appear to impose any significant new requirements and leaves compliance entirely to each justice." - ABC

Imagine what would happen if complying with laws was left with burglars, swindlers, rapists and murderers! Why do Supreme Court Justices get to have no laws that govern their conduct?

How do the decisions of a corrupt Supreme Court impact your life? (Think voter suppression, banning abortion, blocking student debt relief...). Who are the billionaires taking Supreme Court justices on undisclosed luxury trips, giving them expensive gifts and paying off their credit card bills? What do the billionaires get in return? How has Leonard Leo stackes the courts with right wing Christian extremists using donations from billionaries? Follow the latest MAGA Supreme Court farce with this relationship map.

Billionaires control MAGA Supreme Court

"The push for an ethics code was jump-started by a series of stories by the investigative news site ProPublica detailing the relationship between Crow and Thomas. Crow has for more than two decades paid for nearly annual vacations, purchased from Thomas and others the Georgia home in which the justice’s mother still lives and helped pay for the private schooling for a relative.

ProPublica also reported on Alito's Alaskan fishing trip with a GOP donor, travel that Leo helped arrange... The AP also reported that universities have used trips by justices as a lure for financial contributions by placing them in event rooms with wealthy donors." - ABC

Harlan Crow, Leonard Leo, Clarence Thomas. Follow the money

Republicans block investigation of Harlan Crow, Leonard Leo and Clarence Thomas connections

The Senate Judiciary Committee postponed a planned vote to subpoena two influential conservative political figures as part of its Supreme Court ethics investigation, after Republicans on the panel filed dozens of amendments on the eve of the vote. Durbin abruptly adjourned his committee without holding a vote to authorize subpoenas for Leonard Leo, a controversial conservative judicial activist, and Harlan Crow, a Republican megadonor whose close friendship with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has drawn intense scrutiny.

“We had 88 amendments filed last night, and we started going through the amendments and lining up the votes, we just didn’t have time,” Chairman Dick Durbin, D-Ill., told NBC News. - CNBC
