    We'll submit testimony to ahead of its 10/30 hearing () on proposed changes to judicial misconduct rules. We believe: ✔️Complaints shld be made public ✔️Complainants shld be allowed to present testimony vs judges ✔️Judiciary shld cover legal fees

    If Chief Justice Roberts had referred these complaints when he began receiving these complaints (Sept 20), they could have become public amid Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings. Rules allow receiving court to make them public.

    This is a good start but he could do more: ✔️ Live audio of args would show the country the justices aren’t as partisan as perceived ✔️ Pushing the FedSoc 4 to speak at ACS & vice versa for the ACS 4 ✔️ Stronger ethics code would also help

    Chief Justice Roberts tonight went out of his way to address the "contentious events in Washington" in recent weeks. Said he won't criticize the political branches but wanted to emphasize how the judical branch "must be very different". Very rare for him to comment.

    Chief Justice John Roberts remarks on the media’s coverage of 5-4 decisions: "They’ve got their own audience to worry about, so I'm sure they focus on what's important to them."

    If you read one thing today, make it 's study on state judicial selection. Not only is it comprehensive, it also lays out several fair-minded solutions to moving past the money-fueled partisan judicial races too many states have now

    Missed the “hill we’ll die on” meme the other day, but prolonged recesses for out-of-cycle senators - esp. given 20/21 of current senators not up / not in close races - is peak silliness

    You can bet Chairman keeps RECEIPTS. Consulting with Judiciary Democrats about hearings over recess—>

    Honest question: would you prefer just an up-down vote on the floor?

    How can the Senate Judiciary Committee hold hearings on judicial nominees when the Senate is in recess? This is nuts.

    A startling fact we found reporting 's new deep dive on the bar's gender gap, is that four of the biggest Supreme Court practices have not had a woman argue a case at the court in at least 10 years.

    Looks like Justice Kavanaugh is all caught up. He participated in all cases on today's order list except one in which he (briefly) considered while on the DC Circuit. More on recusals:
