Summary
The U.S. Judicial Conference announced it will not refer ethics allegations against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to the Justice Department.
The allegations involve undisclosed luxury trips funded by wealthy friends, which Thomas claims were exempt from disclosure due to personal ties.
Thomas agreed to updated reporting requirements on trips and gifts, addressing concerns about undisclosed luxury trips funded by wealthy benefactors.
Critics argue the decision underscores the need for Congress to establish mechanisms to enforce ethical standards for Supreme Court justices.
Why would they?
Infighting weakens the caste. Besides, what are you going to do about it?
I’m gonna make snarky posts about it, that’ll show em!
They’re reading this, right?
Someone’s going to channel Luigi and shoot some of these corrupt justices dead, and I’m not going to be mad about it at all.

We’ve had one. I don’t think it’s changed anything yet.

It clearly takes a lot more than one.
Statistically, yes. 400,000,000 will wait for 1. About 250,000,000 were with that 1 on the day in question tho

I might start praying again.
I’m sure the news outlets will be scratching their heads as they can’t seem to find people disappointed or upset about it. Hell, maybe we’ll get some fiery op-eds from judicial scholars unironically talking about how supreme court just doesn’t pay like it used to, just to balance the equation.
The corruption is so blatant anymore, really makes you wonder when the bottom is gonna fall out or if it already has
The people tasked with upholding the status quo are.
Judges have been a pretty partisan issue for a while now, but I do agree there is jack shit that can be done about it right before another Trump admin and GOP senate.
