Justice Brett Kavanaugh said Thursday that the Supreme Court is working on “concrete steps” to address ethics issues at the high court amid an array of recent news stories on justices’ travel and relationships with political donors.

Appearing before an audience of judges and lawyers during a judicial conference in Ohio, Kavanaugh noted that Chief Justice John Roberts had pledged in May to assure the public that the court was committed to adhering to the highest standards of conduct.

“The chief justice spoke about that in May and said that we are continuing to work on those issues and that is accurate,” Kavanaugh told the audience. “We are continuing to work on those issues and I’m hopeful that there will be some concrete steps taken soon on that.”

    “It wasnt illegal” is no excuse. He utterly defied the Constirution and his little rules that he made up can fuck right off. And his bullshit “let the American people decide” excuse is patently fraudulent.

      And you sound just like the people you despise. While the left needs to stop playing so nice, obeying the law is crucial. Without it, what are you fighting for?

        What law are you defending? “fascist Senate majority leaders can simply stop everyone from doing their job whenever he feels butthurt!”?

        There was no reason whatsoever that Kavanaugh, Barrett, or Gorsuch should have ever been seated then. Since nobody has to follow the rules why have them?
