John,
Remember former Georgia Senators David Perdue and
Kelly Loeffler, who used insider knowledge of the COVID-19
pandemic to cash in big time on the stock market?
Well, recently, there has been momentum in
Congress to ban stock trading by lawmakers. Last week, House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi jumped on board by directing a House
committee to start drafting rules that will guide the ban.
Now, I support the Speaker’s action – but I also
believe that banning stock trading should go beyond Congress, and
also include other very powerful public servants with expansive
access to inside information: the judiciary.
Ensuring our judges are following a code of
ethics is something I am a firm believer of – particularly
Supreme Court justices. That’s why I’ve introduced a slate of
legislation that creates a code of ethics for the Supreme Court,
makes the federal court system more transparent and accountable
to the American people, and will introduce a bill that will
prevent judges from trading stocks in companies that do business
in their courtroom.
What do you think,
John? In banning members of Congress
from trading stocks, should this also apply to members of the
judiciary?
