to enact a Supreme Court code of ethics >>

John,
 
Last week Lawrence O’Donnell talked with Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse about the need to reform the Supreme Court, enact a code of ethics for justices, and implement reporting requirements to avoid conflicts of interest.
 
 
 
And there’s a new cloud hanging over the Supreme Court, as it has come to light that Chief Justice Roberts’ wife, Jane Sullivan Roberts, has made millions of dollars recruiting lawyers to firms — some of which take cases that are argued before the Supreme Court.
 
Maybe there’s no conflict of interest with Chief Justice Roberts’ wife — we just don’t know. And that’s the problem. There’s no objective code of ethics or reporting requirements in place that would allow the public to have confidence in the court.
 
That’s why Sen. Whitehouse and Rep. Hank Johnson have joined forces to create a code of ethics and disclosure requirements for Supreme Court justices. Will you make a donation now to help Hank get the word out and build more momentum?
 
 
John, it’s time for Supreme Court justices to be held to the same sorts of standards that apply to every other federal judge and every other high-ranking government official. They need a code of ethics, and they need to disclose information that will help restore the credibility and legitimacy of the court.
