Democrat Calls Out Ethics Issues to Supreme Court Justice’s Face
emocratic Senator Dick Durbin called out the U.S. Supreme Court‘s ethics problems to Chief Justice John Roberts‘ face during Tuesday’s closed-door judicial conference.
Durbin, who sat next to Roberts, focused his remarks on the need for an enforceable code of conduct for the justices and expressed his disappointment in seeing the Supreme Court enmeshed in an ethical crisis of its own doing, a source familiar with the matter told Newsweek.
Although Durbin, of Illinois, did not specify which ethics concerns he was referring to, he stressed that the lack of rules governing the individual behavior of the justices was causing the decline in public support for the Supreme Court and urged Roberts to establish standards that could readily address the criticism the court has faced.
