The Judicial Conduct and Disibility Act of 1980 is a law that sets the procedure for anyone to file a complaint against a federal judge or an employee of the federal judiciary on the basis of disability or misconduct. The Act was signed into law by President Jimmy Carter on October 1, 1980.

Chief Justice Roberts has always been very concerned about the integrity of his court. The right-leaning majority the right has been celebrating might be a figment of their imagination.
And Kavanaugh is not out of the woods yet.
Justice Kavanaugh is not in the woods - he is sitting on the US Supreme Court in Washington D.C.
Not "ethics complaints" - "Misconduct complaints" - the exact number of complaints is 15 and they are NOT all about the September 27 hearing. Complaint #'s - 18-90029, 18-90034, 18-90044 all received on September 20, 2018. Compliant #'s 18-90043, 18-90055, 18-90059 all received on September 26, 2018 ........ That is 6 complaints received before Brett Kavanaugh defended himself before the Hearing on September 27 on the charges of attempted rape, gang rape, drugging women, physically abusing women ..... every accusation without a shred of proof or a single witness except for the accuser ..... all allegations over 30 years old and NEVER before mentioned or reported to authorities of any sort.

10th Circuit

Doubtful -the Circuit Courts receive a lot of complaints (mostly frivolous because losers blame the Judge) and they deal with them fairly quickly and then post the results.

But if anyone hears of anything substantial actually being produced from any of this, please let us know.
Meanwhile, if you want to lodge an ethics complaint against a Supreme Court Justice - any Supreme Court Justice - that complaint will be appropriately considered and processed too. With the most likely outcome being that it is processed straight through to the round-file, just like these current complaints almost certainly will be.
Very True - You or I could forward a complaint about Ruth Baden Gingsberg's comments about President Trump. We could forward a complaint about the Judicial Temperament of Sotomayor -- she was legendary in her treatment of Attorneys before her bench. Our complaints would be treated much the same as these "Losers" complaints. You and I won't do that ... because we are Normal People and not rabid losers.
Some of Bill Cosby’s victims went to the police at the time, and were told that. They still made their reports and one or two even filed civil suits against him. It was in a deposition in the civil suit that Cosby basically admitted he was doing this. That’s what got Bill Cosby to finally get convicted. Over 50 women came out and accused Cosby of doing this to them.
Contrast that with Brett Kavanaugh. One woman claimed she was absolutely sure it was Kavanaugh, but none of her own named witnesses could confirm it and her own friend went further and said she never met Kavanaugh. I believe she has a false memory of who it was even though the assault probably occurred at some point. There are women who have put men in prison based on testimony they were absolutely sure it was that person, then DNA evidence exonerated them years later. Were those women lying? Perhaps some were, but I think many were absolutely convinced that those people were their rapists even though they were wrong.
Then the only two other women to come out with stories of Kavanaugh were completely unverifiable. The New York Times said they interviewed dozens of people who were at Yale at the time and not one person could recall such an incident (and were it true, it would have been the talk of the campus).
Swetnick’s claim was ludicrous, but had it been true it should have brought out dozens of women to verify it since the claim was a gang rape ring going on for a long time. That not one other person came forward to say they remembered the parties or were victims means it most likely didn’t happen. I’m actually 100% sure it didn’t happen after watching her interview on NBC.

Thanks for the link. The accusations against BF will be filed as a .pdf with the wording: "The Petition for Review is denied"
For the record for our liberal believers: misconduct of a judge is a very serious matter, but these accusations are politically motivated and without any proof (here we go again). Chief Roberts did what he was supposed to do, and so will the 10 Circuit.

To compare Cosby's allegations to Kavanaugh's fall within similar but different. Cosby for one had a continuous trend of doing this over a 20+ year window. Kavanaugh allegedly had a party gang rape ring that I'm sure happened far more times with many people than we know because women didn't report date rape back then. Besides the fourth claim, most were all high school/college so there wasn't a clear trend. I don't know if Kavanaugh did or didn't.
However his bias came out in that opening statement. He went on and on about it being political like he was on Facebook, Q-Annon, City-Data and was on the right. Kavanaugh sounded like a conspiracy theorist and like he had an axe to grind and not against his accusers...
I am still amazed that conservatives are so loyal to Trump, a man totally lacking in ethics and morality himself, that they will also be loyal to any of his slimeball cronies come hell or high water. They would rather defend a Supreme Court justice who repeatedly lied on the stand and may have committed sexual assault than admit for just a minute that DT should have cut him loose and appointed another guy like Neill Gorsuch. Unbelievable.
More than 2,400 law professors who filed the complaints have determined that Kavanaugh has “displayed a lack of judicial temperament that would be disqualifying for any court.”
Former SC Justice John Paul Stevens declared that Kavanaugh’s statements on September 27 "revealed prejudices that would make it impossible for him to do the court’s work. “They suggest that he has demonstrated a potential bias involving enough potential litigants before the court that he would not be able to perform his full responsibilities.”
Moreover, these complaints were filed before Kavanaugh was seated, and a judge determined that 12 of them were serious enough to warrant investigation. The GOP pushed him through knowing this. They wanted him seated fast, before these investigations could go forward. Makes you wonder why, doesn't it?
