I hadn't noticed this before. Seems like Republican billionaires have a long-game that involves buying Supreme Court justices. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3G_nxYoiyQ Seems like that would be a bad thing for a democracy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_Crisis_Network https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federalist_Society Corrupt Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife "Justice Ginni" are only the tip of the iceberg | ||

As a lawyer, I find the lack of ethical and conflict of interest restrictions at the Supreme Court embarrassing. I also find the Court's inability or unwillingness to clean up its own dirty laundry shameful. The members of the Court should be leading the charge to impose conflict of interest rules, financial disclosure rules, etc. to protect the integrity of the institution. Mike | |||

Why isn’t John Roberts leading the charge?  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. Lane Easter, DVM A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender.

How do you know he isn't? One thing the SCOTUS is never going to do is air dirty laundry publicly. Undermines the authority of the Court. One very good first step would be to get rid of Clarence Thomas....who never should have been on the Court to being with....unqualified serial sex harasser. -Every damn thing is your own fault if you are any good. | |||

I suspect he isn’t due to the fact that he too participates to some extent. But, that is solely my perception and maybe totally off base. I suspect his 180 flip-flop on the ACA could be linked. If he does…kudos to Roberts. Forgive me if I don’t hold my breath. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Clarence Thomas will go by the same way RBG — as the Constitution prescribes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Except he has not. At least, not within 90 plus years of caselaw. However, that is what you want. Judicial Activism to re-write near one hundred years of S. Ct., precedent. Just admit it. However, it is not conservatism. | |||

Go read Justice Thomas opinion on the Fundamental Right to Marriage and the Commerce Clause. Just because you do not like it, does not make it faulty. Of course, I understand the concept of stare decisis is too hard for you to understand. Despite the fact, Justice Alito testified to the Senate state decisis applied to Plan Parenthood v Case. Roe was not and had not been the controlling case. Roe was already no longer an issue. stare decisis should be capitalized as it is a proper noun. Must be nice creating the issue that is causing GOP candidates hooked to the organized Political Evangelicals to lose elections across the nation. KY is going to keep a Dem governor over Dobbs, and the fools seeking a national right to life. No more activist than Justice Scilla’s incorporation of the Second Amendment. The original intent of the 2nd Amendment was not to create a national, Federal Right to posses arms. You should Go read the cases. That includes Heller and McDonald. Justice Scilla determined we had a fundamental right to self defense. This, he incorporated to 2nd to protect that right from de facto state bans. A majority went along w him. It is Judicial Liberalism both ways. Some you like and some you do not like. At least, Justice Scilla anchored his ruling in precedent going back to at least 1937. | |||

I be to differ. Stare decisis (first word pronounced "stah-ray") is not a proper noun. I capitalized "stare" because it begins a sentence. But stare decisis is a foreign word (Latin), so it should be in italics. I can't figure out how to do it on this forum, so I didn't italicize it here. | |||

You are 100 percent correct. I just read the a brief where the amici curiae are former Fed Judges. In that brief, they treat the word just as you state. That treatment bring lower cased and italicized. Good brief that explains the rules of state decisis. Now, I have seen Incorporation Doctrine capitalized in casses. Would one capitalize Stare Decisis as a proper known? | |||
|
| One of Us |
Do you mean as in the Doctrine of Stare Decisis? I probably wouldn't, but it might depend on how it's used. If it's the title of a book or article, it should be capitalized. Some judges, like some lawyers, overuse capitalization. | |||

Yes, and noun and not known. Thank you. | |||

It would help when you are trying to claim that others are incapable of understanding that you at least make an effort that a high school student wouldn't be embarrassed by.

It is patently absurd that the Supreme Court has no Code of Ethics or, at a minimum, a requirement that Justices comply with the Code that applies to all other Federal Judges. They don't even bother to comply with clear reporting requirements that apply to them. ANY Judge accepting anything of value from anybody with interests before the Court is an obvious conflict of interest. Thomas has been doing it since his appointment got shoved through.
