Friend, in the face of a crisis of legitimacy, the Supreme Court has just adopted an official “Code of Conduct.” 

This comes after numerous reports of egregious corruption from Justices Thomas and Alito. These offenses have been staggering and unacceptable, and they have led – in conjunction with the out-of-control, extremist decisions coming from the Court in recent years – to public trust in the Supreme Court plummeting to an all-time low.

While this new Code of Conduct may seem like a step toward rebuilding that trust in our nation’s highest court, in reality, it is no more than a decoy. And a disappointing one at that.

The policy leaves several key issues unresolved – the most important of which is enforcement. Who will make sure the Code of Conduct is followed? What are the penalties for refusal or failure by Justices? There is a lot of ‘devil’ in these unspecified details.

For as long as I’ve been in public service, I’ve been laser-focused on ethics and accountability for our government’s most powerful institutions – a focus that has only grown more important in the past year. 

That’s why I’m working alongside my colleagues on the Senate Judiciary Committee to draft real, meaningful ethical guidelines for the Supreme Court that will ensure accountability and begin to restore trust in our judicial branch.

On an issue as crucial as this, it’s important for me to hear from you directly about where you stand. That’s why I’m hoping for 1,000 supporters to let me know whether or not they approve of the current Supreme Court – and I’m hoping to see your response:
