I’m sorry to see Chief Justice Roberts end the term without taking action on the ethical issues plaguing the court,” Durbin said. Durbin juxtaposed recent reports by ProPublica about lavish vacations that conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito accepted from conservative donors with the court’s recent “decisions that dismantled longstanding precedents and the progress our country has made over generations.” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP STORIES FROM THE HILL * Which out-of-state driver’s licenses are no longer valid in Florida? * Pence defends actions to pro-Trump voter who confronts him over Jan. 6 * McEnany breaks with Trump: ‘No way’ cocaine at White House is Hunter Biden’s * Democrat challenging Lauren Boebert raises $2.6M in second quarter -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- His comments appeared to reference the court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard — in which six conservative justices rejected affirmative action programs at Harvard and the University of North Carolina — as well as its decision last year to overturn Roe v. Wade and the constitutional right to an abortion. “The highest court in the land should not have the lowest ethical standards. That’s why, as I previously announced, the Senate Judiciary Committee will mark up Supreme Court ethics reform legislation when the Senate returns after the July 4th recess,” Durbin said. Durbin said he would announce the timing of a vote in his committee on court reform legislation “early next week.” “Since the chief justice has refused to act, the Judiciary Committee must,” he said. Sign up for the latest from The Hill here Durbin hasn’t said what legislation he plans to mark up, but one contender is the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal and Transparency Act sponsored by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), who chairs the Judiciary subcommittee on courts. Whitehouse’s bill would require the Supreme Court to adopt a code of conduct for itself and require justices to adhere to the same gift, travel and income disclosure standards as members of Congress. Judge pauses NYC $18-per-hour requirement for delivery workers amid lawsuits Nearly half of UK adults ages 50-70 who retired in first two years of pandemic are in poverty: report The legislation would require the Supreme Court to publish its ethics rules and procedures on its website and establish an investigative board made up of circuit court judges to review complaints against Supreme Court justices. The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on Supreme Court ethics reform in May, which Durbin invited Roberts to attend. The chief justice declined the invitation, pointing out in a letter to Durbin that testimony by the chief justice before the Senate Judiciary panel is “exceedingly rare” given the “separation of powers concerns and the importance of preserving judicial independence.” Tags Clarence Thomas Dick Durbin Dick Durbin John Roberts John Roberts Samuel Alito Supreme Court -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc.
