    … the justices said the court’s rules and principles are, for the most part, “not new.” However, “codification” of existing principles is meant to clear up concerns about the justices operating without oversight.

    Sooooo the same failed guidelines that are not enforced and carry zero consequences for selling their judgements? That’s what they think will restore trust in their court instead of deepening the image of rampant corruption and politicking?

    So their plan to end bribing judges is to write down non-binding rules that supposedly already existed?

    WHY DO YOU NEED GIFTS ON THE SUPREME COURT? YOU DONT. THEY EXIST TO BUTTER YOU UP AND FILL YOUR POCKETS. THEY EXIST FOR MANIPULATION.
