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.”

    Just a reminder that trump appointed a Christian cultist and a frat bro rapist to the Supreme Court. No one should listen to a goddamn thing these unfit rejects have to say. Read any dissent by the actually educated and fit to serve liberal justices and it’s clear that they are forced to watch as the court is hijacked by vile traitors to this nation.

    The only thing that will change this all is just sheer force of will. Vote every single time. Encourage everyone you know to vote. Super majorities can happen. Elect people that will take steps to right this boat. No more pandering to christofascists .

    Anything less ensures the pendulum will inevitably one day swing back the other way. The second this occurs they’ve made it clear it will never come back again.
