LTE: Legal profession can't let Supreme Court justices' deceit during confirmation stand

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Trust undermined

The lies before the U.S. Senate from three Supreme Court justices during their confirmation hearings, leading to a likely decision fundamentally altering life in the United States, should compel the American Bar Association to demand their immediate resignations. The justices’ deceit in the face of direct questioning has undermined the justice system for which the ABA stands.

The corruption of the nation’s highest court cannot be allowed to go unchallenged. Every ABA member who respects the integrity of his or her profession, regardless of political persuasion or religious affiliation, should immediately demand the ABA protest this egregious attack on American jurisprudence.

If future Supreme Court justices cannot be held accountable for their sworn testimony, then oaths in court mean nothing. Our legal system is being challenged by the very justices sworn to uphold its integrity.

1. Trump lied an average of 30 times a day, everyday his entire time in the WH and out.

Barr obstructed justice in ways that a Democrat would have been indicted for sure.

GOP can do what they want, the media cant touch them because of the reason I have explained. They will be criticized if they do for being LIBERAL. Our system is broken, and our future is bleak. Global Warming alone, sigh.

Cons are enemies of the human race.

2. If they are disbarred, can they stay on the court?

I'm sure they can, and it's unlikely anyway, but I've never heard if that's the case.

5. There are no requirements to be a Supreme Court justice other than being appointed and confirmed.

No law degree, no judicial experience, not even being literate. No minimum age, no natural born citizen, not a thing.

3. while appreciating calls to public opinion and sentiment

(which this represents) It should also be made clear that this is rhetoric, and only that. It is eminently clear that there is not the slightest chance that the ABA is going to do any such thing. Today, tomorrow, or the day after.

4. No one is going to act with any kind of boldness like that.

It seems the only ones who act boldly are the ones revoking our rights & dismantling our democracy.
