Supreme Court justices discussed, but did not agree on code of conduct wrote the Washington Post on 2-9-23, and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:
Look, a Supreme Court Justice is not appointed in a manner free of political affiliation. They do not come to the office without emotional attachments to a political view of our societal rules and norms. They are human beings who have walked in the theater of United States life, traditions, customs, education and experiences as have all of us.
If they're not mature and intelligent enough to recognize when they have a basis for prejudicial judgment, what good is the oath of standards they took to uphold the office? And it they don't police their own, how are we supposed to abide them as trustworthy?
After all, they operate in a caucus bubble of isolation from scrutiny, (like most politicians in the Executive and Legislative branches as well), until their final decision becomes public record, and little can be done about it without a mountain of work and public opinion support. And we all know how quickly the matter can be overtaken by other events or the publics' declining interest and memory.
