I am writing in support of The Judicial Ethics Enforcement Act of 2024 (https://s2.washingtonpost.com/3d6eeba/6620f35f69422c5a899d09ed/596a9968ae7e8a0ef3406cdf/19/44/6620f35f69422c5a899d09ed).A group of House Democrats, led by Reps. Melanie Stansbury, Ilhan Omar and Jamie Raskin, have introduced legislation (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/18/johnsons-chamberlain-or-churchill-moment/) that would strengthen oversight of the Supreme Court. I’m writing in support of it.  would authorize the creation of an office of the inspector general to investigate allegations of misconduct in the judicial branch. The inspector general would also investigate alleged violations of the Supreme Court code of ethics, issued (https://s2.washingtonpost.com/3bcb4f5/6620f35f69422c5a899d09ed/596a9968ae7e8a0ef3406cdf/20/44/6620f35f69422c5a899d09ed) in November; conduct and supervise audits; and recommend changes in laws or regulations governing the judiciary. The inspector general would be required to inform the attorney general when they believe there has been a violation of federal criminal law. Congress must pass t his bill. Confidence in the Supreme Court is at an all-time low, and there’s good reason for that. Several of its justices are deeply compromised and everyone can see it. Please co-sponsor The Judicial Ethics Enforcement Act of 2024 (https://s2.washingtonpost.com/3d6eeba/6620f35f69422c5a899d09ed/596a9968ae7e8a0ef3406cdf/19/44/6620f35f69422c5a899d09ed) right away, so the provisions in it can begin to restore Americans’ faith in our highest court. Thanks.
