Justice Elena Kagan declined Thursday to outright answer the question of whether Congress could impose an ethics code on the Supreme Court, but she did allow that it could do “various things” to regulate the high court.
“It just can’t be that the court is the only institution that is somehow not subject to any checks and balances from anybody else,” she said, adding, “I mean, we are not imperial.”
“We, too, are part of a checks and balances system,” she said.
She’s changed her mind since April, when all 9 said there was no need for oversight. Glad to hear she’s coming around, if a bit late.
She’s not coming around. She knows it doesn’t matter what she says, so she might as well say something that makes her look good. She’s just as full of shit as the rest of them.
