This nonsense is the reason judges who actually deserve to be impeached — Judge Ross, specifically — are not, because if the GOP advanced a Ross resolution & ignored ones like this, the far-right's definition of what's "impeachable conduct" would fall like a house of cards. A sad state of affairs.

At least 100, maybe 150 people in line for the House hearing with the justices & already 80 in line for Senate. Craziness! (We got 1 person in for House & learned some lessons in the interim so will have 2 staff in for Senate.)

Another day, another uninformed opinion about the impact of broadcast on apex/appeals courts. In fact, cameras have not had any discernible negative impact on courts of appeals in the U.S. or abroad. In the few instances an attorney has tried to grandstand, they've been quickly put in their place.

A seven year old would have to write a longer apology for a random playground slight. This is not acceptable coming from Judge Ross — or from the 11th Circuit Judicial Council overseeing her “discipline.”

The problem isn't just the law professors he influences. It's the fact that every year, dozens of judges attend his "Originalism for Judges Seminar," & within the judiciary, this is seen as totally fine, not unethical, not a "thumb on the scale," etc.

"When cases slip through that [Alito] should have recused from" really means "times he messed up where Fix the Court called his office to remind him of his recusal obligations" www.newsweek.com/samuel-alito...

Federal judges reported receiving 407 gifts worth $935,000 in 2023-24 (i.e., the 2 most recent yrs for which 85%+ of disclosures are posted). *Any* gift acceptance exposes judges to unnecessary conflicts & justified criticism, but this is extreme fixthecourt.com/2026/04/fede....

If Supreme Court justices aren't "partisan," which they're quick to remind us every time they speak in public, then why would they announce their new book on a *partisan media outlet*? And why would they pick an illustrator who draws for Focus on the Family? chrisellisonstudio.com/section/5462...

The #SCOTUS ethics code turns 2 tomorrow. Some justices have taken steps to improve their ethical stewardship in that time, while others have opted to continue engaging in ethically dubious behavior. Here's an overview of where things stand: fixthecourt.com/2025/11/the-....

Once again, House Approps is pushing the judiciary to do more to ensure the 3rd branch is an exemplary workplace free from harassment. This is critical since the branch, left to its devices, will not do enough to protect staff. TY, Reps. Joyce & Hoyer (amendment below adopted today by voice vote)!

More than 1/3 of the recusals this term at #SCOTUS have been due to J. Alito's stock ownership. He & Martha Ann inherited nearly all of them when her father passed away in 2012, & they've refused to sell in the years since. Justices shouldn't own individual stocks docs.google.com/spreadsheets....
