From what I've read, the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act, led by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin, D-Ill., will get a vote in the committee soon.
From what I understand the bill would require the Supreme Court to establish a new code of conduct for justices, set firmer ground rules for recusal from cases, create a new investigatory board and promote transparency about ties with those before the court. It's a step in the right direction and I want you to support this legislation when it comes to the Senate floor please.
Supreme Court Justices need to be held to the same standard as every other federal judge; possibly more so given their position.
