and professional competences, and although this is already an updated composition of the supreme court of justice, which was formed with the participation of foreign specialists and taking into account high international standards, experts and public activists notice a decrease in the quality of conducting assessments . commission increasingly more often turns a blind eye to inconsistency. we reloaded the highest qualification commission of judges by 100%. expectations from them, and not only ukrainian expectations. society, because the request to clean up the judiciary has been very relevant since the days of the maidan, since the revolution of dignity, and we have only just started this process, or have we resumed, let's say, the qualification evaluation of judges, which began back in 2015, with a new body, which was supposed to finally free us from unscrupulous judges, and everything started as if it was not bad, but now the percentage of cases, the percentage of judges in respect of which decided in the negative. even the public council of integrity, that is, recognized them as unscrupulous,

of justice decided to dismiss the judge. parliament dismissed demidovska by its resolution, and the judge appealed the decision. the grand chamber of the supreme courtounced the verdict only last year in june. the decision of the high council of justice on dismissal is upheld. in march 2013, alla demidovskaya was caught by the security service and the prosecutor's office while receiving a bribe. she, together with another judge andriy makuha and lawyer yevhen pedenka, received seven. for speeding up the consideration of the case regarding violation of customs legislation. in the special service claimed that alladovska was supposed to receive $500 according to the previous agreement. but despite the criminal case, demidovska continued to hold the position of judge and during the revolution of dignity, chose a precautionary measure against the activist vladyslav tsylytskyi. detention allegedly due to mass riots and disobedience to law enforcement officers. in the report, the suspect stated that after his arrest, he was brutally beaten and put in a closed cell. gorgon, after being examined by paramedics, was taken to an emergency hospital . judge of th

i'm one of those people, i, -- i think, has to get rid of the notion of looking up to the supreme court justiceslooking up at these supreme court justices and thinking they were of another order when in fact, there is no available evidence that samuel alito is a guy he would be if he had never become a judge, just a guy in a republican country club saying those things. >> i think that is right and it's not just alito. if you look at the history of the supreme court, it has been filled with partisans, those people who are advancing a set of political goals and so i think it is useful, really, to understand that the members of a court are political actors and in the case of justice alito, very clearly, a partisan actor and the most recent story about the flag flying at his new jersey vacation home, i think is just more evidence of this. i don't really know what else you could conclude, looking at these two stories, other than the fact that -- other than the conclusion that justice alito has these insurrectionist sympathies at the very least, which makes it unacceptable that he is offering any opin

want to say, i feel like what is so damning here is that justice alito has clearly broken this sort of implicit contract that the supreme court makes with the united states of america and its citizenry. you know, the supreme court justices are supposed to act with dignity and honor, and impartiality. not just because they derive their legitimacy from all of that, from their black robes, the simple, black robes that show they are just normal judges dispensing justice -- but, because when they go badly awry, we cannot do anything about it. we can't vote them anything out of office. we can't recall them. there is virtually nothing that the american people can do about a justice who has gone as lawless and rogue as samuel alito evidently has. so, it almost sort of -- it can be compared to the british monarchy. the reason that it still exists in its current form is because queen elizabeth was able to preserve this image of integrity and decency for so long and the public respected it. alito is shattering those efforts by the rest of the supreme court, or some of the rest of the supreme court. it is not going to lead to a good plac

several complaints to the supreme council of justice and the prosecutor general's office about alleged interference. in his judicial activity, the supreme administrative court conducted an inspection and announced the decision last week. according to the results of checking the reports of the judge of the economic court of the kyiv region , gorbasenko, no facts of interference in their activities as judges, as well as actions that threaten the independence of judges and the authority of justice, have been established, on which relevant conclusions have been drawn. all 14 vrp members present at the meeting voted for this decision and actually recognized it. that gorbasenko filed a knowingly false report about interference in his activities. meanwhile, the higher qualification commission of judges should announce its decision regarding the judge in the near future. it depends on her whether gorbasenko will continue to sit in the judge's chair and whether he will be able to transfer to another court. we hope that the members of the commission will carefully investigate his biography, professional competence, legality of decisions, and compliance of his lifesty

separate dates show the appeal to heaven flag was flown over the new jersey vacation home of supreme court justice samuel alito in the summer of 2023. this was not done surreptitiously. you can see it on google street view. here's aog picture of the house taken last august. a supreme court justice proudly flying the flag of christian fundamentalests and government insurrections in frontgo of his home in daylight for everyone to see even google. and eit's not the first time. five days ago "the new york times" discovered another symbol of the january 6th movement, an upside down american flag, flew over justice alito's home days after the capitol insurrection. justice alito blamed that incident on his wife, say she ran the flag up the pole after a dispute with their neighbors, which is not a usual thing. for the record justice alito has not yet given an explanation as to why yet another flag associated with y the insurrectn is flying over yet another one of his homes. and it should be noted at the time this appeal to heaven flag was flying over the justice's home the supreme court was actively consi

of your political beliefs. and as a supreme court justice of the united states, you should not allow that but there's also the belief that the supreme court's justices have that they present to the public that they are objective, right? >> so clarence thomas has gone on record as saying, no, no, i am a political, i am not i am like i am an objective person his personal life is very different and in a moment where 40% of only 40% of americans have faith in the supreme court, 53% do not believe that the supreme court for too actually be an ethical institution. i do think that the court is very concerned about how it looks and how it is perceived. this does not help that argument even as we know that the justices are inherently political, they were picked for political reasons. and it's not just, it's not just write justices, it's not just left justice. it's all justices are picked as a political project yeah, but when out that although the about half the nation doesn't have confidence in the court, the court holds is much higher in public opinion than the congress or the white house. >> very low tuition. the supreme c

final word, just make it 20 seconds well, i think that it's it's generous to take the word of a supreme court justice when that same supreme court justice has engaged in all sorts of failures of disclosure on the conflict of interest rules. >> i don't think justice alito here gets the benefit of the doubt and neither does the law, neither does the statute that's on-point right. >> but if if the facts are that these other activities were taking place in the neighborhood, i think it swings that pendulum at least back to the center line. i do appreciate you. thank you for being here. here thank you the professor does not like my poll question. i hope he'll nevertheless vote on it and that you will as well. should the spouse house of a supreme court justice have to limit their personal political speech when you vote sign up for the newsletter, it's free and it's worthy and you get tutorial cartoons from the legends check this out from rob rogers arthritis pain we say not today. >> tylenol eight, our earth brightest pain has two layers of relief. the first is fast, the second is long-lasting. we give you

other unscrupulous members of the judiciary are counting on the renewed composition of the supreme court of justice to eventually turn a blind eye to their inadequacy. we will talk about it today, but first to the news. president for the first time since 2022, volodymyr zelenskyi has signed a number of decrees on the appointment of judges to positions in local general, commercial and administrative courts, as well as in regional commercial courts. sudaah these are former judges, the so -called five-year judges, participants of the 2017 selection and participants of previous selections for the positions of judges. in total, zelensky appointed 116 servants of themis. oleksiy mykytyuk, the judge of the illegally created rf kyiv district court of simferopol, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for working for the enemy. as reported sbu, mykytyuk helped the russian invaders legitimize the political repression of crimeans who do not agree with the kremlin regime. according to the investigation, he is involved in the adoption of a number of illegal decisions regarding activists of the occupied peninsula.

of america's most important institutions, the supreme court. this week the new york times published a report that cast fresh doubt about the impartiality of a second supreme court justice possibly linked to the politics of january 6. the report was published as the country awaits a pair of decisions from the high court that could have an impact on january 6 related prosecutions, including the federal election interference case against the presumptive republican presidential nominee donald trump. central to the new york times reporting is a photograph, this photograph, of an upside down american flag on a residential property owned by the supreme court justice, samuel alito. historically flying the flag upside down has been known as a signal of distress. sailors at sea understood this as an emergency. it has since been co-opted as a political signal for a variety of movements. a signal to indicate deep disapproval of a particular issue or politician. in the 1960s and 1970s, flags were flown upside down by those protesting the vietnam war. for some tea party conservatives in 2012 it was a symbol of opposition to barack obama's reelection victory. we saw it again in 2022
