Senate Supreme Court Ethics Bill Places Conservative Justices in Democrats’ Crosshairs
|
|
In yet another attempt to delegitimatize the Supreme Court, Senate Democrats have moved forward with a bill they say would tighten ethics requirements for its Justices. The Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency “SCERT” Act (S. 359) is not intended to hold those serving on the Court accountable for their actions or to close some nefarious loophole. In the words of Carrie Severino writing in National Review, “The legislation builds on the torrent of pseudo-ethics issues designed to destroy a Supreme Court whose recent decisions the Left finds disagreeable. The hand-wringing over ethics on Capitol Hill transparently employs double standards to single out conservative justices and ignore the liberal ones, fueled by incompetent journalism that fudges facts and routinely fails to find a single case in which one of its targets was corrupted.”
