The court’s underwhelming and unconvincing arguments were in response to letters that Hank, along with Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse from Rhode Island, sent to Chief Justice Roberts.

 

As the two leaders of the House and Senate Courts Subcommittees, Hank and Sen. Whitehouse have led the fight to create a code of ethics for Supreme Court justices.

With everything going on now — allegations of Justice Alito leaking prior opinions, the court’s unwillingness to investigate its own actions, Justice Thomas’ refusal to recuse himself from cases that have a direct financial impact on his household, and Ginni Thomas being a key part of Trump’s Big Lie — it’s clear that we need an objective set of rules for Supreme Court Justices.

 

This year, Hank introduced the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act in the U.S. House. It’s a bill that would create a code of ethics for justices, establish recusal standards, disclose gifts and lobbying, and hold Supreme Court justices accountable to rules like the ones that already apply to other federal judges and public officials.

 

Ethical lapses by certain justices on the Supreme Court are no longer a small set of questions – they have become really big questions about the state of our democracy. 

 

So we’re asking you to show your support for this bill by becoming a citizen co-sponsor. If you believe that the Supreme Court should be just as responsible as everyone else to the system of justice it administers, please sign your name.
