The Senate Committee on the Judiciary on Thursday approved a proposal to impose a code of ethics for the U.S. Supreme Court, amid revelations that justices allegedly failed to disclose luxury travel and real estate deals, as well as allegedly directing staff to promote book sales.
The Supreme Court would have to abide by stronger ethics standards under legislation approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee. The legislation has little chance to make it through the full Senate.
The proposal would establish new conflict of interest rules for Supreme Court justices and the federal judiciary at large.
