Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Uhh "the product of misunderstanding" f*** you, justices are receiving goods and services from certain wealthy supporters while reveling in the antagonization of those supporters' opponents.
That is not a misunderstanding, that is justified outrage at corruption.
Since it is purely the honor system, it’s worthless.
Anyone have and over/under in how many days before we learn one of them violated it?
0 days since last incident.
Oof. Not sure if you're joking, or if I missed the latest controversy. Is it bad I'm not sure I wanna know?
Well, 6 are members of the Republican party...
C. NONDISCRIMINATORY MEMBERSHIP. A Justice should not hold membership in any organization that practices invidious discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, or national origin.
Seriously, read this thing. It's full of "should" and "should not", but quite lacking in "must" and "must not". Who cares about enforcement when the damn thing doesn't cover anything important?

Even better, it also has added "these rules don't apply if we feel like it's necessary to ignore them" in the most critical section, the recusal section.
The standards are low. The enforcement is zero. And where it counts, they put in discretionary outs so nobody can call them on their BS. Who do they think they're kidding?
Clarence Thomas deserves the guillotine change my mind
That's the kind of BS Drumpf says. Be better!
He deserves a fair trial after which he may or may not face the guillotine based on the verdict and any sentencing?
You got me there
“Look, we put up strongly worded signs telling the alligators to stop eating all the children, I don’t know what more you people want.”
Self-regulation is perfectly reliable.
