The Supreme Court would have to abide by stronger ethics standards under legislation approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court would have to abide by stronger ethics standards under legislation approved on Thursday by the Senate Judiciary Committee, a response to recent revelations about donor-funded trips by justices. The bill faced united opposition from Republicans, who said it could “destroy” the court.

    South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, the top Republican on the Judiciary panel, said Democrats are trying to “destroy” the court as it exists by tightening the rules around recusals and disqualifying conservatives from some decisions. Congress should stay out of the court’s business and mind the separation of powers, Graham said.

    The bill “is an assault on the court itself,” Graham said.

      I think little Lindsey is forgetting that the separate branches are co-equal and are fucking supposed to be a check on other branches powers.
