☆ Inside the 'Justice Circle': Secret invite list reveals how VIP donors bought access to Elena Kagan and Brett Kavanaugh
  + stars: | 2023-07-24 | by ( Mattathias Schwartz | Jack Newsham | Katherine Long | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +11 min
Corporate execs and lawyers with business before the Supreme Court mingled with some of the country's most influential jurists. Revelations about Thomas and Crow's relationship have prompted calls in Congress for the Supreme Court to adopt its first-ever binding code of ethics. But as a Supreme Court justice, Kagan is not currently bound by those rules. The Aspen Institute isn't alone in dangling Supreme Court access to lure deep-pocketed donors. Financial support for a public mission flowed one way, and scheduled private time with Supreme Court justices was dispensed in return.

☆ A federal judge harshly criticized the Supreme Court's recent ethics scandals in a NYT essay: 'What in the world has happened'
  + stars: | 2023-07-14 | by ( Madison Hall | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
A federal judge in Massachusetts wrote a scathing opinion essay in the New York Times, excoriating the Supreme Court's recent ethical debacles. Judge Michael Ponsor, who was appointed by President Bill Clinton, said the high court needs a code of ethics. Following the reports of several Supreme Court justices crossing ethical lines, a plethora of congressional Democrats have also called for the Supreme Court to institute a code of ethics. As it stands, the high court does not have one, and the court's chief justice has pushed back on efforts to instate one. "The Supreme Court will no longer exist as a truly viable institution if it continues the failure to face the need for a code of ethics," Blumenthal said.

☆ Supreme Court staffer pressured public library to buy more of Sonia Sotomayor's books: '250 books is definitely not enough'
  + stars: | 2023-07-11 | by ( Bryan Metzger | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
A new AP report details how Sonia Sotomayor's book sales intertwine with her service as a Justice. "250 books is definitely not enough," one aide told a public library in Oregon. The report found that taxpayer-funded staff at the Supreme Court have often pressured public institutions, including colleges and libraries, to purchase more of Sotomayor's books for events around the country where the liberal justice has been invited to speak. But because Supreme Court has no formal code of ethics, such practices are legal. While Republicans have generally defended these arrangements, Democrats have seized on the revelations to call for instituting a formal code of ethics at the Supreme Court.

☆ Supreme Court allows military academies to continue race-based admissions, citing 'potentially distinct interests'
  + stars: | 2023-06-29 | by ( Bryan Metzger | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
But the court exempted military academies from the decision, citing "potentially distinct interests." But there's one key exception: the nation's military academies. "This opinion also does not address the issue, in light of the potentially distinct interests that military academies may present." The court also cited the amicus curae filed by the federal government in the case, which argued that affirmative action "further compelling interests at our Nation's military academies." "The United States thus has a vital interest in ensuring that the Nation's service academies and civilian universities retain the ability to achieve those educational benefits by considering race."
