The contradiction between Justice Alito's prior commitment to ethics laws and his current stance reveals a fundamental tension in our understanding of power and accountability. This incident serves as a reflection of a broader system where principles often succumb to the mechanisms of authority, exposing the frailty of ethical commitments in the face of institutionalized power.

These corrupt, lying fuckers also said they wouldn't overturn Roe. This court needs to be dissolved and anyone who so much as bummed a cig from someone with business before the court needs to be imprisoned. You want your word to be law and the only oversight to be literal death? You need to be absolutely flawless at all times. None of this "well technically it's not illegal" garbage.

The rule of law isn't a supernatural force, it's a bargain with the angry masses. If you don't honor the bargain, why would they?

Well when there are no consequences for lying and being corrupt, who cares if he promised extra hard. The honour system doesnt work when youre talking about extreme power, wealth and influence.

Wait. Some winger SC Judge lied and is unethical? What?!! I just can't believe it.

Unethical person lies about ethics. No surprises there.

“For the last 30 years, as far as the records I’ve been able to find, the justices have been writing the same boilerplate language in their Senate Judiciary questionnaires, which to me is an indictment against the seriousness with which they take their ethical responsibilities,” said Gabe Roth, executive director of Fix the Court.

It's not his fault, he was just copying the empty promises all the other nominees were making.

Corrupt liar says what?

Supreme Court sticks it's head in the ground like an ostrich, and all accountability magically disappears.
