WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court would have to abide by stronger ethics standards under legislation approved on Thursday by the Senate Judiciary Committee, a response to recent revelations about donor-funded trips by justices. The bill faced united opposition from Republicans, who said it could “destroy” the court.
If this passes it’ll be a full-blown Constitutional crisis when the SCOTUS refuses to comply.
The mask coming off will be an enjoyable sight, though. Perhaps will be sufficient to motivate a new Judicial Procedures Reform Bill.
There is no chance of it passing. You’ll never get 9+ Republicans to cross the aisle to support it in the Senate and the prospects are even worse if it should somehow make it over to the House.
