Alito Caught on Tape Whining That His Corruption Was Exposed | The New Republic
The Supreme Court justice accused ProPublica of unfairly targeting him and Clarence Thomas.
My hot take is that a public life should mean a much reduced expectation of privacy. If you want to make decisions that affect millions (or billions) of people, those people should be able to see and hear everything you do outside of the most intimate necessities of life. E.G. you can poop without someone watching, but not much else. Don’t like it? Quit.
That's a good hot take. Here's another one: maybe the entire Supreme Court should be changed every year or two, with the bench randomly selected from the entire panel of federal judges that meet a certain minimum experience requirement. Hypothetically that should do something for these outrageous bribes and corruption.
I like swapping them out but I wouldn’t do it all at once and I’d implement term limits that put them outside of a two-term president’s reach. I like 13 year Supreme Court terms because it’s a prime number and it would keep any one president from naming more than one or two justices.
Impeach him already!
in capitalist america, everything is for sale! even accountability....
A judge must avoid all impropriety and appearance of impropriety. This prohibition applies to both professional and personal conduct. A judge must expect to be the subject of constant public scrutiny and accept freely and willingly restrictions that might be viewed as burdensome by the ordinary citizen.

Not that SCOTUS is held to the same code of conduct that all other federal judges are held to, of course.
I'd say we need a Supremer Court to counter these people, but they've already made the Supremacist Court, so how do we top that?

Biden should appoint Cornel West and Bernie Sanders as two of the additional 4 justices.
