Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson slapped with ethics complaint over husband's income

This is probably going to end up being a nothing burger, but Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is facing an ethics complaint over her husbands income. It was supposed to be disclosed while she was serving on the bench, and she failed to do so. A conservative policy group has filed an ethics complaint against her. More interesting is the allegation that she may have failed to report the private funding sources of her "massive investiture celebration at the Library of Congress". I'd love to see where the private funding came from on that .. what groups .. what people. (I'd love to see the private funding for ALL the justices!). What she DID disclose included $1200 worth of flowers from Oprah Winfrey. Not illegal or suspicious .... just interesting.


Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson slapped with ethics complaint over husband's income

A conservative policy group has filed an ethics complaint against Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson for "willfully" omitting required income disclosures for years while serving on the federal bench.

The Center for Renewing America, a think tank led by former senior Trump White House official Russ Vought, sent a letter to the Judicial Conference with allegations that Jackson "willfully failed to disclose" required information about her husband’s malpractice consulting income for more than a decade. The letter suggests that the Judicial Conference should refer Jackson’s possible ethics violations to Attorney General Merrick Garland for investigation and possible civil enforcement.

The letter notes that federal judges are legally required to disclose the "source of items of earned income earned by a spouse from any person which exceed $1,000…except…if the spouse is self-employed in business or a profession, only the nature of such business or profession needs be reported." As part of her nomination to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Jackson disclosed the names of two legal medical malpractice consulting clients who paid her husband, Dr. Patrick Jackson, more than $1,000 for the year 2011, the letter notes. In subsequent filings, however, Jackson "repeatedly failed to disclose that her husband received income from medical malpractice consulting fees," the letter reads.

What can I say, a woman that cannot tell the sex of a baby because she is not a biologist.

Dumb and stupid that is how all this democrats' appointees are.

But hell, they are all for the money, they do love to collect from anybody that will give them money for favors, specially at the bench.

Where they can write the laws, I guess she figure that been at the bench will exempt her from any disclosure once appointed.

Like Sotomayor, who's court clerks were selling her book to colleges on the taxpayers dime.

Nothing will come from it.

a reply to: FlyersFan

Meh, ethics complaints are like officially documented finger wagging. Worst case, she gets a month long vacation.

Even that is not likely to happen.

a reply to: FlyersFan

Havent you heard that "white lives DONT matter"?

So go away and fogetta about it

Like Sotomayor, ...

She's the one I can't stand. Racist to the core IMHO.

And funny, not a peep about Justice Thomas here on ATS. Or Alito.

Interesting, since Thomas has been doing a whole lot worse and nobody on the Right seems to care.

But hey, the hypocrisy is crazy these days.

If Jackson did something wrong, then she should have to pay a price. But that goes for ALL OF THEM.

a reply to: FlyersFan

I am ashamed that she is even a Puertorrican like me, once I took a look at her when she was been appointed to the Supreme court, I knew she was nothing but trash.

I am Puertorrican I know, she is good for nothing.

She worships La Raza and forgets she is even American; she thinks she is Mexican.

I have't seen them in the news to start a thread on them about anything.
If you have, which you seem to say you have, then start a thread on them.
No one is stopping you.

Yes, and if Clarence Thomas or Alito did something wrong, they should also be punished, this is about justice, not political party. It's a shame that even has to be said, but there it is.

People knew she would be a cheater like predicted. 😀

What did Ketanji do to them? 😀

I'm not even gonna read the Article I'll just assume her Hubby makes to much Money .

Funny though the Democrats complained about the Current 'House Speaker Mike Johnson' for being too broke

a reply to: asabuvsobelow

It wasn't that he's broke. It's that he has a 300,000 house, trips to France, private school for his children, has made over 100 grand for years and states he has no checking or saving accounts with a combined total of 5000 and has not for years.

You would think smart people would hire other professionally smart people to fill out important legal documents wouldn't ya. 😀

a reply to: Disgusted123

Are you saying all of the black justices are corrupt? That sounds racist to me.....

you know all that about a Guy who doesn't even know you exist .

I see I see , So no accounting for his Expenses when you look at his Bank account compared to his spending . So I guess he is on the Level A corrupt swampy just like the rest .

Just an FYI a $300,000 house is nothing . That is par for the course mate Average at best. Private school is completely doable on His Income combined with his wife's . And a Congress Man makes over $100,000 a year easy . So what is your point ?

a reply to: asabuvsobelow

Yes, sure, he now makes 223,000, an extra 30,000 grand for teaching at Liberty University, his wife also has multiple jobs, yet they have no IRA, no other retirement accounts, no money in the bank according to his disclosures since 2016. He actually didn't list having any bank accounts. Which may fall with the total of less than 5 grand disclosure. Either way, that's sketchy as all get out.

And yet you say his house is an average price. I don't make what he does, have expenses, and I have over 5 grand and retirement accounts. Heck my 23 year old has over 5 grand and retirement accounts.

What's up with the "you know all that about a guy who doesn't know you exist". It's been in the news. So, you only post things here about people who actually know you? I'm fairly certain everyone posts about people who don't know them. I mean unless everyone here knows Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Trump, Jackson, etc.
