"Proposed Bill Mandates Code of Conduct for Supreme Court Justices"

Senators Angus King and Lisa Murkowski have introduced a bipartisan bill that would require the Supreme Court to create a code of conduct and appoint an individual to handle complaints of potential violations. The legislation comes amid recent controversies surrounding Justice Clarence Thomas and his ties to wealthy Republican donor Harlan Crow. The bill does not lay out specific rules, but instead gives the court the power to enact its own guidelines. It remains to be seen if the bill will gain traction in Congress.
