It's not just ethics. He's right. They exempt themselves from the rules they write. And then they ignore the rules when they want to and nothing ever happens to them.
Ethics don't help you much against someone who would seriously enjoy seeing you tortured to death. War is hell for good people because you can't win it without doing terrible things to other people. They enjoy the idea of war as long as it benefits them. Don't project your personal goodness on them. They are not good people at heart. It's a terrible truth, but it is the truth.
A few good constitutional originalists, a couple guys who vote all over the place, and left-wing crazies balancing out the remainder doesn't sound like balance to me.

My kid's school is closed. I have to wear a mask to buy beer. If I take a wrong turn in my city I could be dragged out of my car and kicked to death.
And I live in Texas.
We haven't defeated shit.
lol so well said. I'm in Texas too btw.
You don't have to wear a mask to buy beer.
Do you not have to wear a mask in stores in Texas?
It depends on whether or not the seller is a branch Covidian or has bent the knee to them. In blue cities, most, if not all, are or have.
In this case right-wingers not being worried about the appearance of right-wing bias on the court would be a good step forward.

ethics will have you die on your sword and allow them to win
your enemy is using your ethics to shackle you and you're allowing them to.
I fully do
the right sits by smugly and goes 'at least I was ethical and maintained muh optics' as the left burns cities around them
the time for ethics came and went 20 years ago
ethics are no longer anything but shackles for the right, and the left fully knows this
