Republicans block bill requiring Supreme Court to adopt enforceable ethics code; The Hill, June 12, 2024

ALEXANDER BOLTON  , The Hill; Republicans block bill requiring Supreme Court to adopt enforceable ethics code

"Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.), the top-ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and other Republican senators on Wednesday blocked a bill requiring the Supreme Court to adopt a code of conduct and create a mechanism to enforce it in the wake of several high-profile controversies.

The legislation, the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal and Transparency Act, would require Supreme Court justices to adopt a code of conduct, create a mechanism to investigate alleged violations of the code and other laws and improve the disclosure of potential conflicts of interest."
