The Chief Justice should not be on, let alone be the titular head of, the Smithsonian Board of Regents.
Why? It’s become too political.
We’re seeking 2 lawmakers — 1 left, 1 right — who share some animosity toward the Chief, to draft a law that’d remove him.
Inquire within.

But crickets from the federal judiciary about whether judges & justices are themselves banned from participation (sure, it's implied in the ethics codes, but given the punctuated increase in their usage, the public deserves a full-throated answer from SCOTUS & the lower courts).

A watchdog group keeps a running tally of every gift handed to the Supreme Court Justices. The newest version of that tally counts 515 gifts and complimentary benefits worth an estimated $3.62 million from 2004 forward. One Justice accounts for most of it.

This nonsense is the reason judges who actually deserve to be impeached — Judge Ross, specifically — are not, because if the GOP advanced a Ross resolution & ignored ones like this, the far-right's definition of what's "impeachable conduct" would fall like a house of cards. A sad state of affairs.
