BREAKING NEWS -- Insider reports:

Jane Roberts, who is married to Chief Justice John Roberts, made $10.3
million in commissions from elite law firms, whistleblower documents show.

At least one of those firms argued a case before Chief Justice Roberts
after paying his wife hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to the
report from Insider. Roberts did not recuse himself -- and voted in favor
of that law firm’s client.

Earlier this week, Roberts REFUSED a request from senators to testify
about the future of ethics and the Supreme Court.

facing a legitimacy crisis. The U.S. Senate must launch a full
investigation into Supreme Court corruption and take steps to pass
legislation requiring strong ethics for our Supreme Court.

The whistleblower told Insider in an interview, "I realized that even the
law firms who were Jane's clients had nowhere to go. They were being asked
by the spouse of the chief justice for business worth hundreds of
thousands of dollars, and there was no one to complain to. Most of these
firms were likely appearing or seeking to appear before the Supreme Court.
It's natural that they'd do anything they felt was necessary to be
competitive."

If you are keeping score of the ethics and undue influence allegations at
home:

Conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas accepted millions of
dollars of luxury travel and accommodations from conservative billionaire
Harlan Crow -- and didn’t disclose it. Crow also bought Thomas’s mother's
house without disclosing it.

Conservative Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and his business partners
sold a multi-million dollar property to a rich lawyer whose firm
frequently has cases before the Supreme Court, just 9 days after he was
sworn in -- and Gorsuch appears to have failed to properly report it.

Conservative Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was the subject of a
long-term influence campaign orchestrated by a right-wing activist and a
network of wealthy donors that allegedly resulted in, among other things,
one of the donors being told in advance about an upcoming Supreme Court
decision.

Supreme Court Justices do not live by the same ethics rules as other
federal judges. Meaning, if a judge gets elevated to the highest court in
the land, the ethical standards they’re held to go down.
