This is outrageous and will fly under the radar. SCOTUS is so conflicted they literally can't do their job. Why? Because they insist on making money selling books. If they need more money, let's give them a raise. If they want to publish books, they can do a PDF. They're Justices, not authors.

This is big. The Supreme Court is unable to hear a crucial copyright case because of financial conflicts. As @jtlg.bsky.social explains, this means they won't be overruling "one of the worst copyright decisions in recent memory" bsky.app/profile/jtlg...

Side projects that prevent justices from doing their job — that nobody else in the entire world can do — should be banned. No stock ownership, no for-profit book authorship, etc.

Honestly, the best people aren't motivated by money anyway, and I bet many of the justices would do it for a song, but if it makes them happy to give a little more while we ban things, sure, fine, whatever.
