Democrats Push For Supreme Court Ethics Rules, Republicans Object

  • Senate Democrats plan to introduce legislation requiring a code of conduct and transparency for the Supreme Court.
  • The proposed rules include clearer recusal guidelines, an investigatory board, and disclosure of ties to those before the court.
  • Republicans argue the effort undermines the court's legitimacy but acknowledge ethics issues need addressing.
  • Recent media reports on justices' undisclosed activities have given momentum to Democrats' ethics push.
  • Democratic leader Chuck Schumer urges Republican support, but solid GOP opposition makes legislative progress uncertain.
