Hello, new followers! If you're wondering how we got to where we are on #SCOTUS ethics (lack of a code for 50 years, lack of enforcement, etc.), you'd do well to read this new piece by Michael Bobelian on the missteps in & around the Justice Fortas scandal time.com/6986549/suprem….

With all of the ethical clouds swirling around #SCOTUS, my essay in Time explored a missed opportunity to create a stronger ethical framework for the justices. It was great working with Brian Rosenwald and the other editors at madebyhistory on this project. time.com/6986549/suprem…

The timing of #Biden 's calls for #SCOTUS reform is interesting. Considering his earlier reluctance for such measures, is this a reaction to the Court's recent rulings or was this something he was planning on launching in a second term that he's packing into his last months?
