Some right wing pundits think that holding #SCOTUS justices to reasonable ethics standards is a threat to US Democracy, which, of course, is grounded in #corruption

SCOTUS v ethics
@maeve Well no, it's grounded in the concept of separation of powers.
Once you start intruding into the operation of the judicial branch the concept of independent judiciary is thrown aside. THAT is the corruption. After that wall is breached judges will have to be looking over their backs with every call they make worrying that they'll be punished by the other branches.
They won't be able to make calls respecting rights because of conflicts of interests.
In this case, sounds like the right-wing pundits are on the right side of political science.
