PER NEW INVESTIGATION: ETHICAL MISCONDUCT 👍; CALLING IT OUT 👎

NATIONWIDE (December 18, 2024) – In case you missed it: Not only do the Supreme Court justices not have to follow ethics rules; now, apparently, they can’t even be criticized for it.

Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal reported that an investigation found U.S. District Judge Michael Ponsor culpable of misconduct for calling Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s ethics into question. Ponsor's criticism followed the bombshell New York Times report exposing a MAGA flag flying outside Alito's home. In response to the news, Take Back the Court Action Fund released the following statement on behalf of its president, Sarah Lipton-Lubet:

“As if it wasn’t bad enough that Supreme Court justices are exempt from ethics rules, now it’s supposedly unethical to notice that the justices are behaving unethically. This kind of farce only further erodes trust in the judiciary. The American people know the justices are not kings, even if the justices themselves have forgotten.”
