The fundamental question here is how bad?
How corrupting is the billionaire influence at the Supreme Court?
Democrats say it's long past time to implement a code
of ethics for the Supreme Court justices.
The highest court in the land cannot have the lowest
standard of ethics in the government.
Senators **** Durbin and Sheldon Whitehouse vowed to investigate potentially
unethical behavior in the Supreme Court by issuing subpoenas to
conservative political activist Leonard Leo and Republican donors Harlan Crowe
and Robin Arkley. Heirs who are invested heavily in influencing
the Supreme Court.
Have been caught giving enormous secret gifts.
Two individual justices. But Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee
slammed the efforts.
It's an effort to delegitimize the Supreme Court because you
don't like the way they rule,
Senator Lindsey Graham argued it's inappropriate for Congress to get
involved in the High Court and promised Republicans will block
the efforts.
The underlying approach you're taking,
all of us who believe is unconstitutional,
that is obvious nonsense. Democrats say they'll press ahead with
the investigations and subpoenas,
and the committee will address the topic again next week
in Washington.
