Because it has worked so well for politicians, the Senate has introduced a bill that would require the U.S. Supreme Court to create a code of conduct for itself. The bill, introduced by Sens. Angus King (I-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), would require the court to put into place a code of conduct within one year of becoming law and also post the code of conduct on the court website for public viewing. There would also be a requirement that the court designate someone to take receive any complaints of code violations and give authority to the court to conduct investigations to determine if any justices or staff had engaged in activities that would interfere with the administration of justice, or if any laws had been broken or additional codes of conduct violated.Read More
