Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is facing an ethics complaint over alleged failures to disclose details about her income.
Jackson's complaint centers on her alleged failure to disclose her husband's income.
The complaint alleges that Jackson did not report some of her husband's income for more than a decade.
The letter claims that Jackson "Repeatedly failed to disclose that her husband received income from medical malpractice consulting fees." "We know this by Justice Jackson's own admission in her amended disclosure form for 2020, filed when she was nominated to the Supreme Court, that 'some of my previously filed reports inadvertently omitted' her husband's income from 'consulting on medical malpractice cases,'" it continues.
The letter says that Jackson gave "The vague statement that 'some' of those past disclosures contained material omissions." Advertisement The crux of the matter lies in the rules mandating that justice disclose any income exceeding $1,000 under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978.
Second, there is reason to believe that Justice Jackson may have failed to report the private funding sources of her massive investiture celebration at the Library of Congress in her most recent financial disclosure.
Since Jackson is a progressive, they can't bother to examine her with the same microscope they apply to Thomas or any other conservative justice.
