Yesterday, for the first time ever, the Supreme Court
announced a code of conduct for its justices. It’s an acknowledgment that
public trust in the Court has plummeted.

But here’s the thing: it doesn’t come with any way to enforce it. In other
words, it’s useless.

And it won’t restore the American people’s confidence in the Court after
hearing about justices receiving secret, lavish gifts — a luxury yacht
ride here, a stay at a high-end resort there — from billionaires and
business magnates involved in cases before the Court.

If the justices won't step up, Congress must act.

We need an enforceable code of ethics for Supreme Court justices. And with
the Court’s latest announcement, we’ve got new momentum to get it done.
But Washington needs to hear the American people demanding action.

[ [link removed] ]Add
your name if you agree: we must pass judicial ethics reform to restore the
public’s trust in our judicial system.

I’ve also introduced a bill, the Judicial Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act,
which would implement important reforms to ethics in the federal
judiciary:

* Make the Supreme Court follow a binding Code of Conduct
* Ban federal judges from owning or trading individual stocks
* Tighten restrictions on gifts and privately funded travel
* Overhaul the broken recusal process
* Create new tools to hold judges — including Supreme Court justices — 
accountable for ethical misconduct

We've
got to get this done. The honor system hasn’t been cutting it, pure and
simple, and it won’t do the trick now either. When someone has their day
in court, they shouldn’t have to wonder whether the judge in front of them
is making decisions based on their financial interests rather than the
rule of law.

I’ll keep working to clean house and restore public confidence in the
courts by pushing for an enforceable code of ethics for Supreme Court
justices, and working to pass the Judicial Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act.
But I can’t do it alone.

[ [link removed] ]Please add your name to say you support tackling corruption in our
federal judiciary — and let’s fight side by side to get this done.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
