Sen. Whitehouse Blasts GOP Blockade of Supreme Court Ethics Bill

THANK YOU SENATOR SHELDON WHITEHOUSE! 

 REPUBLICANS BLOCKED: Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act



June 12 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) today delivered remarks on the Senate floor after Republicans blocked the unanimous consent request to pass Senator Whitehouse’s Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act. The SCERT Act would require Supreme Court justices to adopt a binding code of conduct, create a mechanism to investigate alleged violations of the code of conduct and other laws, improve disclosure and transparency when a justice has a connection to a party or amicus before the Court, and require justices to explain their recusal decisions to the public.
