U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts aims to improve ethics training while also improving internal compliance systems after it was found in hundreds of instances where judges had ruled over cases in which they or their family owned stocks, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.

“Let me be crystal clear: the Judiciary takes this matter seriously. We expect judges to adhere to the highest standards, and those judges violated an ethics rule,” Roberts said in his year-end report.

Roberts went on to add that most judges strictly adhere to the guidelines laid out and that any incident where a conflict of interest was found was likely “isolated” and “unintentional.”

Not impressed.

I remember when Roberts rewrote the Unconstitutional Obamacare for the Democrat Congress, when. Ethically, he should have voted it Unconstitutional and sent it back to Congress to write it to conform with the Constitution.

Neither Justices of the Supreme Court, nor Presidents may Constitutionally write Legislation, That is the purview of Congress.

How often do the judges considered the most “progressive” deviate from their ideology? How often to the judges considered conservative deviate from their’s?

Nuff said.

Four companies are like half the market. Anybody with a 401k “owns stock” in Netflix and Facebook. Who’s supposed to take cases if those guys are involved? (Course, I own them myself, so this very post is a conflict of interest!)

Is “ethics” the new name for murdering J. Scalia,
visiting Epstein Island, raping children,
and taking Orders from Malta while murdering
Americans waiting for something, anything as
they go to SCOTUS with Evidence of Election Fraud???

Haven’t heard a peep from this guy in ages but now that Ghislaine Maxwell will be doing time he is getting itchy since his name may come up in her little black book of “johns” that frequented Epstein’s Pedo Island.

How about the ethics of Roberts as he supervised using FISA to help take down a president?

No doubt Roberts is well placed in the “Ruling Elite” Club, he’s chair of the “Trading Favors” committee.

Which Judge or Judges got FIRED? Look at the 1/6/20 “Insurrectionist’s”sentencing the Judge’s statement of “It has to be made clear that trying to violently overthrow the government, trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power, and assaulting law enforcement officers in that effort is going to be met with absolutely certain punishment.”

So how are Judge’s on the take any different?

“Let me be crystal clear..."

The words of a professional obfuscator.
