The Silent Court: Ethics, Accountability, and the Erosion of Trust in the Supreme Court "Chief Justice Roberts warns that the independence of courts is under threat." I find this fascinating! Seriously, it's intriguing. I'd love to sit with Roberts and have a respectable candid one-on-one conversation. It would go something like this... "And yet you gave the very person who's most apt to disregard judicial independence a free hand by not providing a clear ruling on what constitutes presidential immunity, or what should fall within the legal scope of presidential duties...Why? Didn't you realize that by not clarifying the boundaries of presidential immunity, the Court has left room for varied interpretations, creating legal ambiguity about what actions presidents can take without consequence?" You see, I realize that we've stopped receiving profound answers in life...because we've stopped asking profound questions that demand an answer. Add to this thought the question of why Roberts hesitates to install a formal code of ethics for the Court. It gives the perception that the Court operates in a self-serving manner. I would advise Roberts that "talking the talk and walking the walk" are one in the same. To be taken seriously, they can't be separated. #SupremeCourt #JudicialReform #Accountability #EthicsInGovernment #JudicialEthics #PublicTrust https://lnkd.in/gDvZ2YpF

It's the last day of Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) Ethics Month. That doesn't mean we can let down our guard. Ethics is 24/7 and as we head into the final weeks of this election year, we all have a responsibility to combat the spread of mis- and disinformation. As PRSA notes, repetition increases the likelihood that a statement will be judged as true. With this in mind, PRSA members should use their voice and proactively encourage your publics to pause, even briefly, to consider and/or verify the credibility of information before sharing it via social media. Knowing how you can help your organization or clients battle mis- and disinformation is key. Use the resources here to help: https://lnkd.in/eb2pc7ih #EthicsMatter
