U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett told attendees at a judicial conference in Wisconsin on Monday that she welcomed public scrutiny of the court. But she stopped short of commenting on whether she thinks the court should change how it operates in the face of recent criticism.
Barrett did not offer any opinion, or speak directly about, recent calls for the justices to institute an official code of conduct.
I don’t scrutinize the Supreme Court anymore.
I fully reject its legitimacy. They can inflict their will through state violence like any tyrannical governmental arm, but as an institution they have become an unapologetically corrupted tool of the oligarch class, just like the legislative branch that is supposed to check them.
American governmental institutions were envisioned as being empowered by the confidence and consent of the American people, Now it’s just might makes right, comply or be dealt with, no different than the nations so many Americans still consider beneath us out of tradition.
How any American could have any confidence in our purchased institutions that doesn’t come out of pure wishful thinking self-delusion/desperation is beyond me.
