Well, howdy there internet people, let's bow again. So today we are going to talk about the

Supreme Court of the United States, Justice Kagan, and plans, comments. and then an announcement that is likely to come next week.

Okay, so starting off, what do we have? We have Justice Kagan coming out in favor of oversight, of some

kind of mechanism when it comes to the Supreme Court and ethics. One of the things that she

suggested was a committee of judges to examine any potential or perceived violation of ethics by the Supreme Court, by members

of the Supreme Court.

She seemed to suggest lower court judges, and I mean that would definitely be unique to have lower court judges reviewing the actions of the Supreme Court.

But it appeared to her, at least the way it came across, was that something had to be done.

And she said, it's a hard thing to do to figure out who exactly should be doing this and what kinds of sanctions would be appropriate for violations of the rules.

But I feel as though we, however hard it is, that we could

and should try to figure out some mechanism for doing this. Basically she went through and talked about how most sets of rules have outside

oversight and in this case it doesn't exist and she seemed to be very much

in favor of altering that. Now again not knowing what the sanctions would be, not knowing

exactly how it would be carried out, not exactly a plan, just more of general support for the idea of actually

doing something. That's coming from within the Supreme Court itself.

And my guess is the justice does not want a situation

where some justices are tasked with reviewing the actions of another justice on the Supreme Court.

My guess is that she sees how that would, well, generate a lot of conflict.

She has been very concerned ever since Row about the legitimacy of the court in the eyes of the American people.

It certainly seems as though she wants something done.

Now, in what I'm sure is completely and totally

unrelated news there are indications that the Biden administration will announce plans to reform the Supreme
