Calls for Supreme Court Ethics Code Grow Amid Criticism.

The Democratic-led Senate Judiciary Committee expressed disappointment with Chief Justice John Roberts' response to questions about ethics on the Supreme Court. Roberts revealed that the court's nine justices subscribed to an updated "Statement on Ethics Principles and Practices," but did not answer whether there is a process for the public to file complaints against justices for failing to abide by the statement. The committee is discussing how to improve ethics on the court, following revelations that Justice Clarence Thomas failed to disclose luxurious vacations gifted to him and his wife by a Republican billionaire.
