Senate Passes Bill Requiring Supreme Court to Adopt a Code of Ethics. All Republicans Vote 'No'
"We are here because the highest court in the land has the lowest standards of ethics anywhere in the federal government, and justices have exhibited much improper behavior, not least in hapless efforts to excuse the misdeeds," the senator added. "This cannot go on. Defending this behavior defends the indefensible."
"Republicans spent much of Thursday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing offering hysterical objections to Whitehouse's bill. Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) declared that, if adopted, the legislation would "destroy the United States Supreme Court as an institution," a message echoed by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).
"This is a bill to destroy a conservative court," said Graham. "This bill is going nowhere. All of us are going to vote no."
Talk about telling on themselves...
