    The ethics rules aren't laws.

    And, the court isn't beholden to follow ANY law that Congress passes. The Judicial Branch is a coequal branch of government. Congress can't do anything it likes, because we have separation of powers.

    And this is where every American could benefit from a common minimum standard for those politicians and appointed officials that affect all American lives. It should be acted on immediately by Congress and codified into a set of bare minimum laws.

    Congress can't make laws that dictate the conduct of the courts. It's unconstitutional.

    It would require a constitutional amendment. The only option for Congress is to impeach a justice.

    Then giddy up......Roberts wife got10.5 million consulting for a law firm bringing cases and Roberts was not clearly transparent regarding this. The honor system died with The Greatest Generation. SCOTUS knows they can command rich folks "attention".

    A constitutional change would curtail improperity for every SCOTUS, how could that be a bad thing? I complain about corruption on all sides of the aisle, you?

    You only complain about Conservative justices, though. Why is that?

    Corruption isn't the underlying concern. I think that's obvious.

    They just want to flip the court so they can strip our rights away.

    The ****ing statement was about being political.
    Up to a point people in such high positions had integrity, something clearly lacking today.

    Congress doesn't have that authority. It's called "separation of powers".

    If they are going why did you ask why they weren't going?

    They aren't going because they have something to hide, obviously. They are all against oversight. Time to flush and start over.
