YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWATCH: Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett appear before the Senate Appropriations Committee in a rare public hearing on judiciary security funding, but the session quickly shifts into a heated exchange over Supreme Court ethics, public trust, and the court's emergency "shadow docket."
Sen. Chris Van Hollen presses Justice Kagan over the lack of an enforceable ethics framework, urging the Supreme Court to "act before Congress does." He warns that the court's current system is undermining public confidence and raises concerns about the growing use of emergency rulings, prediction markets, and judicial accountability. Justice Kagan acknowledges the issue remains unresolved, says the court continues to discuss possible reforms, and agrees it is a "fair inquiry" that deserves further attention.
