A fresh batch of financial records for justices of the U.S. Supreme Court was published by the federal judiciary on Wednesday, which shed some light on their income and affiliations outside the court did not include key details that critics said will contribute to an elevated atmosphere of mistrust.

These highly anticipated disclosures, which cover all of 2022, arrive in the wake of revelations about Justice Clarence Thomas' financial ties to Texas billionaire and GOP megadonor Harlan Crow, which critics have called an overt breach of rules and norms – and have prompted renewed calls for more robust transparency and enforcement.

But on Wednesday afternoon, when the records were published online, Thomas’ were not among them, suggesting that the conservative firebrand requested an extension. Justice Samuel Alito’s documents were also unavailable online. A court spokesperson was not immediately available for comment. Even so, experts said that financial disclosures for the other seven justices would draw more attention than normal under the weight of plummeting public trust and questions about their ethical requirements.

"These will definitely be the most scrutinized Supreme Court disclosures since the disclosure law went into effect 40 years ago," Gabe Roth, executive director of Fix the Court, a leading Supreme Court watchdog, told ABC News. "That said, I think what people will take away from them is how many unanswered questions remain about the justices' lives outside of the courtroom and their potential entanglements."

9. You should update the OP with them

Or post another thread with them. To me, this is gold. I am continuously frustrated when the media announces something, especially regarding bills in Congress, but provides no link to the actual text.

10. I'll go ahead and do that

I had been out back and finished watering my plants about 45 minutes ago since it has been bone dry, so have been back and forth to/from the 'puter fooling with plants.

7. And why should we trust what most of them release?

Is there some penalty (like tax evasion or perjury or firing) that would accompany a fraudulent reporting?

12. All nine of them signed the FOAD letter to the Senate.

As far as I'm concerned, all nine are dirty. Prove me wrong.

13. Imagine that.

14. Only reason NOT to release the documents is if there is evidence of impropriety.

15. Is anyone surprised?

The most self-righteous and sanctimonious justices appear to be the most corrupt.
