BREAKING: The US Senate has just unveiled a BIPARTISAN bill, that if signed into law would require the US Supreme Court to create and implement a new code of conduct for all justices. Details of the 'Supreme Court Code of Conduct Act': - The bill proposes that the Supreme Court implement a code of conduct within a year of its enactment and publish it on the Court's website - It mandates the Court to designate a person to handle complaints regarding violations of the new code and give the Court the authority to conduct investigations to determine if any justice or staff member has violated federal laws or codes of conduct affecting the administration of justice. - The legislation allows the Court to draft its code of conduct to protect the separation of powers between the legislative and judicial branches. - The bill sponsors claim that the Supreme Court's declining approval ratings and public concerns about its impartiality have necessitated the legislation. The proposed Act aims to address these concerns by ensuring the Court's transparency, independence, and fairness in upholding the law. There is no reason that I can think of why this bill should not immediately be voted in and signed into law!
