Senate Republicans, Led by Graham, Block Unanimous Consent on Supreme Court Ethics Bill
Jun 12, 2024, 09:55 PM
Senate Democrats, led by Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin, sought unanimous consent to pass a Supreme Court ethics bill that would require justices to adopt a binding code of conduct and create a mechanism to investigate alleged misconduct. Despite their efforts, the bill was blocked by Senate Republicans, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, who argued that the legislation was not about improving the court but rather about undermining it.
