Summary
A Senate Democrat-led investigation into Supreme Court ethics concluded with a report criticizing justices for ethical lapses and calling for stricter oversight.
The 95-page report highlights issues like Justice Clarence Thomas’ undisclosed trips with billionaire Harlan Crow and failures to recuse from cases tied to personal conflicts.
While the court adopted a new ethics code in 2023, critics argue it lacks enforcement.
Democrats propose legislation for independent ethics reviews, but Republicans have blocked such efforts. With GOP Senate control in 2024, further action on judicial reform is unlikely for now.
While the court adopted a new ethics code in 2023, critics argue it lacks enforcement.

I see no concrete reason yet why they should not continue taking bribes. Nothing happens about it.

Well, get ready for 7-2, 8-1, or 9-0 supreme court.
Nobody cares.
