7:50Now PlayingJuly 10 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) joins Lawrence O'Donnell on The Last Word.
On Monday, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Senator Whitehouse, Chair of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights, announced that the Senate Judiciary Committee will mark up and vote on Whitehouse’s Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency (SCERT) Act on Thursday, July 20.
The bill would require Supreme Court justices to adopt a 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.
