The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to vote Thursday on a new ethics code for the Supreme Court, an attempt to respond to recent revelations about justices’ interactions with wealthy donors and others. Republicans are strongly opposed, arguing the ethics bill could “destroy” the high court.
A good first step, but we need more than a code update when they’re ignoring the code as it currently exists. We need an independent non-partisan office that can and will enforce it, and ideally has the capacity to bring criminal charges to justices in violation.
" ignoring the code as it currently exists."
I thought the issue was they aren’t covered under those laws.
