  • A federal appeals court panel has referred to the arrangement as a " dodgy side hustle " and an "utterly bonkers" violation of the right to a fair trial. Other federal judges have called it a " DEFCON 1 legal scandal ."

The article from Slate discusses a significant legal scandal involving the Supreme Court, where it is suggested that the court is facing a crisis due to ethical lapses and potential corruption. It highlights how recent revelations about justices' financial dealings, undisclosed gifts, and conflicts of interest have led to widespread public distrust. The piece argues that these issues have escalated to a point where the integrity of the court is severely compromised, likening the situation to a "DEFCON 1" level emergency. It calls for urgent reforms, including stricter ethical guidelines, transparency in justices' financial disclosures, and possibly term limits or other structural changes to restore public confidence in the judiciary.
