Justice Roberts denounced for refusal to investigate federal judge's sudden retirement

In what the advocacy group Demand Justice called a “Friday news dump,” U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts said he would not direct a federal court to conduct an ethics inquiry into the retirement of Judge Thomas Griffith from the second-highest court in the country.
Demand Justice had called for the investigation into Griffith’s decision to step down, which leaves a seat open for Trump’s right-wing appointee, Judge Justin Walker.
As Common Dreams reported earlier this week, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has been reaching out to veteran conservative judges like Griffith to assure them that if they step down now, “they would have a worthy successor.”
The group has demanded to know whether McConnell was in touch with Griffith before he decided to retire.

His Honor ends up on a cushy "board of directors" somewhere, you know, like say, an energy company, or a Republican benefactor company, or perhaps a "paid advisor" to the Koch Brothers funding machine.
Actually, Moscow Mitch McTurtle could probably give you the most succinct answer to that - because I am SURE that he does know the answer! 
would be no different than the Senate Impeachment hearings - "So what?" 
Go to the Senate.
*Bring all the evidence you want - get all of the witnesses you can (but you can't use them here) - and then we'll vote*.
*Oh, by the way, save yourself the bother - there's no harm, no foul here............." 
The result is .. nada.
