Republican Senate Judiciary Committee members discussed their opposition to a Democratic-led Supreme Court ethics bill during a news conference on Capitol Hill. The committee’s ranking member, Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) said the bill would destroy the Supreme Court. In addition, his colleague, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) called the bill “dead as fried chicken.” The bill, if approved and signed into law would force the Supreme Court to establish a code of ethics. Supreme Court ethics became a hot topic after recent news reports revealed ethics concerns with Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s trips and Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s book sales. close
