The Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on a new ethics code for the Supreme Court, an attempt to respond to recent revelations about justices’ interactions with wealthy donors and others.

The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to vote Thursday on a new ethics code for the Supreme Court, an attempt to respond to recent revelations about justices’ interactions with wealthy donors and others. Republicans are strongly opposed, arguing the ethics bill could “destroy” the high court.

    South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, the top Republican on the Judiciary panel, said that if the bill were to ever pass, “the Supreme Court as we know it would be destroyed.”

    Wasn’t he the same guy who said that if the GOP nominated Trump, it would destroy the party? He seems to have a fetish for destruction.

      I don’t want the Supreme Court to continue existing in it’s current form, do you?

      He’s not wrong, he’s just an asshole. 🤣🤣

        The Supreme Court needs to be reformed, but simply asking them to conform to the same Ethics guidelines other judges do is hardly destroying it.
