After an activist filed a complaint, a federal judge in Massachusetts was found to have engaged in misconduct for writing an op-ed criticizing ethical lapses by Justice Samuel Alito, who has faced no such finding because there’s no mechanism to do the same.

But once you become openly PARTISAN ppl cant reasonably believe that your rulings are fair & impartial
Especially when its to the point where you are literally being sponsored by political groups
Pretty sure it's not supposed to be that way.
But these rules just apply to the profession...and they're not new.
I am going to be petty and not particularly productive.
The op-ed is brief.
I agree that, perhaps, like an Alito opinion it straddles appropriateness
Unlike an Alito opinion it is intellectually honest, well articulated and merit based.
SCOTUS is f*cked
Can't wait for my bar ethics committee to come after me.
Bluesky needs an edit function.
“WASHINGTON—Amid collapsing public confidence in U.S. courts, a federal judge has been found culpable of misconduct. The offense? Questioning the ethics of a Supreme Court justice.”
Alito deserves the criticism. And the hypocrisy in the system is stunning and infuriating!!!
And yes, that is in direct contradiction to the Constitution.
