[QUOTE="Dale, post: 59050901, member: 8216"] I never thought they were impartial. Who decided that members of the Supreme Court are exempt from ethics rules that Federal judges have to follow? It sounds like it's a "non-story" because they exempted themselves from their own rules. The only reason that Federal judges are appointed for life is that it is supposed to make them impartial. They don't have to please the Administration so that they will be eligible for re-appointment or for other high positions. They were appointed for life---are they keeping their end of the bargain? * * [/QUOTE]
