The Senate Judiciary Committee will—for the first time—vote to advance legislation that would require the U.S. Supreme Court to adopt a binding code of ethics, adhere to more stringent disclosure requirements and explain recusal decisions to the public.
Alito personally defended himself -- arguing, in a rare op-ed published, that he acted appropriately. In Thomas' case, he maintained that he thought he didn't have to disclose those ties; while in Sotomayor's case, the court said she and the others had been urged to follow proper protocols.
Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas poses during a group portrait at the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 7, 2022."I want to assure people that I am committed to making certain that we as a court adhere to the highest standards of conduct,"Roberts declined an invitation to testifyto answer questions about the court's ethics process and lawmakers' proposal for an overhaul, citing separation of powers concerns.
"If the full Court or any subset of the Court were to review the recusal decisions of individual justices,", "it would create an undesirable situation in which the Court could affect the outcome of a case by selecting who among its members may participate." And many veteran court watchers note that few of the recently surfaced ethics allegations likely rise to that level.
