Legal and ethics "Experts" quoted in recent articles targeting conservative justices on the Supreme Court for alleged ethics violations have strong connections to prominent Democrats like President Biden and former President Bill Clinton, but those details were not made apparent in the recent stories.
In a Tuesday story titled "Justice Samuel Alito Took Luxury Fishing Vacation With GOP Billionaire Who Later Had Cases Before the Court," which was published by ProPublica, an individual named Kathleen Clark was quoted in a portion of the piece pertaining to disclosure matters and cited as an "Ethics law expert at Washington University in St. Louis."
SAMUEL ALITO SLAMS PROPUBLICA AS 'MISLEADING' AHEAD OF REPORT ALLEGING CONFLICT OF INTEREST FROM SCOTUS BENCH. A handful of legal and ethics "Experts" quoted in recent articles targeting conservative justices on the Supreme Court for alleged ethics violations have strong connections to prominent Democrats like President Biden and former President Bill Clinton.
Mike Davis of the Article III Project, a former high-level counsel on the Senate Judiciary Committee, told Fox News Digital that Clark should come clean about her past and insisted that she should not be cited as an objective ethics expert before disclosing her ties to prominent Democrats in the past.
Cited by the publication as a "Judicial ethics expert at the University of Virginia School of Law," Frost also boasts strong connections to Democrats.
Members of the U.S. Supreme Court pose for their official portrait at the East Conference Room of the Supreme Court building on October 7, 2022, in Washington, DC. Stressing that she had worked on both sides of the aisle in the past, Frost said that she "Clerked for a Republican-appointed judge and that I have criticized the ethical conduct of justices appointed by Democrats in my public testimony before Congress and in my published academic scholarship."
"To our knowledge, no one with government ethics expertise has disputed the premise of the stories: When justices accept gifts from people with ideological or business interests before the court and do not disclose them, they are departing from the norms of behavior followed by the vast majority of federal judges," the outlet added.
