    As long as conservatives are in charge of enforcing the code of ethics, I am in. If any progressives are involved in enforcing a code of ethics, I am tapping out. After the **** show that was the dementia Joe presidential run, the entire world knows that they have no ethics. They will go to any means necessary to ensure their own power...... including adding a code of ethics to kick their ideological opponents off the Supreme Court. They had SCOTUS in a hammer lock my entire life and they lose for a couple years and lose their lunch.

    Clarence Thomas has publicly admitted that Harlan Crow paid for a trip, you know, the one that Clarence said had "an empty seat"

    Then their was the RV, which we know Harlan Crow paid For

    Oh yeah, and the House Thomas' mom lived in.....

    You seriously want to debate this ? Cause Thomas has admitted all of these things

    It says that they are "created by congress" therefore rules can be set by congress.....Show us in the constitution, where their terms are lifetime appointments.

    There is one who launched into the paid business of ideological prostitution by becoming the pet of a billionaire.

    Did Harlan Crow receive, or expect to receive a favor in exchange? That part is important.

    And neither of them have the constitutional power to do so. The Executive Branch sure as hell doesn't have the power to vote on anything.

    Biden put her in charge of the border...

    Biden taps VP Harris to lead response to border challenges

    It was all over the news back then and her minions were really excited about it, until she screwed the pooch and now history has to be re-written.

    What power does Congress have to pass a bill authorizing a president to execute a United States citizen, without due process?

    He was a United States citizen. Where does the bill say United States citizens can be executed without a trial and a conviction?

    Once again, WRONG

    Biden never said anything about not being able to pick a justice during an election year. It was during an election SEASON.
    The objection was that the hearings would just turn into campaigning.

    Once the election was over there was plenty of time to hold hearings over nominees between the election and the swearing in of a new Congress.
    He said that the nomination should hold off until AFTER THE ELECTION



    McConnell LIKED (shocker, huh?) when he said that the "Biden rule" was to not hold a nomination until after the new president was in office. Again, THAT WAS A LIE

    But even IF McConnell was confused (he's an old man after all) and thought that was what Biden meant, four years later he did a complete 180 on steroids.

    When Scalia died in February of 2016 McConnell made the unprecedented call to reject ANY hearing on ANY nominee until after the new President was in office, claiming that was "the Biden rule". As I showed you in the video that is NOT what Biden said. But Feb 2016 was about 9 months before the election.

    Four years later when RBG died in SEPTEMBER of 2020 McConnell RUSHED the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett. Why no invocation of "The Biden Rule" then?

    He made rulings that benefited employers over unions.

    Which side do you think a billionaire business owner would take in such a case?

    lol. Yes, because conservatives are the bastion of integrity. Your news network was fined a billion dollars for lying to their viewers. Your party leader has been involved in more frauds than I can keep track of.

    The issue isn’t your scouts picks are ideological, the issue is they are reversing over a hundred years of precedent “because they can” and are now openly being bribed.

    That’s the issue with you people, your side is doing everything you claim to hate but you still blame others.

    The Court ruled that the 5th Amendment does not apply in these cases. The Supreme Court refused to take up the case thus allowing the lower court ruling to stand.

    You have a problem with it? Then complain to the courts.

    Show us the court ruling and the text of the ruling that says a president has the authority to strip a United States citizen of his 5th, 6th and 8th Amendment rights

    So Congress no longer has the power to enact laws.

    Why do other branches of government have ethics rules? Other judges?

    Oh, so the argument that the president can label someone a terrorist and use the armed forces to kill that person is accurate?

    It actually doesn’t say that official act would no longer be immune, it says you don’t get immunity just because you were president from crimes. My reading of it makes me think that official acts would still be immune from prosecution.
