I stand corrected. Would appear they were careful in using the term justice instead of judge for that very reason. I do weber what would happen if he were disbarred… would the other justices pressure him to resign, since the disbarment apparently wouldn’t affect his status as a justice…
That’s actually really depressing. We’ve created a political role based on legal definition that bypasses all of the normal expectations. Not that I’m overly surprised, everything to do with politics is truly all about obtaining and maintaining power however possible.
