With No GOP Support, Senate Panel Passes Bill Requiring Supreme Court to Adopt Ethics Code
"The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday advanced legislation that would require the U.S. Supreme Court to adopt an enforceable code of ethics and adhere to stronger disclosure rules following a series of revelations about the luxury trips and other gifts justices have received from right-wing billionaires.
