New York Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley are introducing bipartisan legislation that would prevent members of the executive and legislative branches — as well as their spouses and children — from trading individual company stocks.
Great, hope it goes through. But why isn’t the judicial branch included?
I assume if the judicial branch were included it would be found “unconstitutional”. Maybe this has a shot of getting through the supreme court and then we can go from there.
I agree, but if we can clean up some of the blatant corruption in Congress then maybe the corruption in the SC and elsewhere can also be addressed.
