Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski introduced a bill Wednesday that would mandate the Supreme Court to issue a code of conduct, as pressure mounts on the high court to address ethics questions.
reaffirming the “foundational ethics principles and practices to which they subscribe in carrying out their responsibilities as Members of the Supreme Court of the United States” signed by all nine justices.
In a prepared statement, King said that trust in the Supreme Court reached a historic low last year, according to a June 2022“A healthy democracy requires trust: trust in systems, trust in institutions, and trust in leaders. Americans deserve to have confidence that every part of their government – especially the highest court in the land – is acting in an ethical manner,” King said.
Having Murkowski, a moderate Republican, on board makes the effort more bipartisan than some other Democrat-led policies that target Supreme Court ethics, according to Gabe Roth, the executive director of judicial watchdog group Fix the Court. However, it is unclear if the measure can garner the necessary support to clear the Senate.“I think it’s a it’s a smart way to sort of balance competing interests between accountability and judicial independence,” Roth said in an interview.
