    QUOTE
    Asked about the ethical issues that have plagued the Supreme Court recently, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said Thursday that the court was “continuing to work on those issues” and he’s “hopeful that there will be some concrete steps taken soon,” according to multiple news organizations present, the first indication of any kind that the Supreme Court is willing to address the ethical scandals.

      Still beating this dead horse?

        Here’s a thought. Let’s ask former Speaker Pelosi how she got rich

        "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          If you’re directing your post at Kavanaugh, he obviously doesn’t think it’s dead.

          Only non-witches get due process.

            Look, the Dem controlled media has decided to create a story, mostly from nothing, because a reliable ally of the Left, now has a conservative (actually more of a center) make-up. The media will continue to hunt for every tidbit they can, to further the message.

            Funny, when SCOTUS was more liberal, this was no story at all.

              It certainly pales into insignificance beside those truly shocking stories about Obama riding a bike and wearing a tan suit that outraged the more conservative section of the MSM.

                  The press didn’t make this up, they’ve chosen to be selective about reporting on it. But let’s be honest, the answer to the question posed in the thread title is “of course he fucking did”.

                  This would be obvious to all had the issue originally been framed in a non-partisan way.

                  The thing is, while it is clearly wrong, it didn’t violate any existing rules.

                  It seems apparent that at least some of the justices realize this and would like to fix it. Probably most of them do, though I suspect many are hesitant to be seen slavishly reacting to the media, especially partisan media. I imagine what will happen is that over time, as the buzz dies down, we’ll see them institute their own reforms.

                      The only ladder I had to climb was to find a bone of contention so ridiculously stupid that it was clearly incomparable to a Justice accepting large gifts. There are plenty examples of the conservative bit of the MSM finding rather silly things to get worked up about. In this particular case, the level of outrage inspired by such a stupid issue was pretty high IIRC. Obviously when Fox do this kind of thing it's more out of patriotic fervour than because they're a bunch of cunts like the rest of the media.

                      The great media moralist Bill O'Really said of Obama riding a bicycle, 'America deserves better'. Obviously this was before he was fired for alleged sexual misconduct which apparently is even worse than riding a bike in a built up area.
