Demand Real Ethics Rules for Supreme Court Justices

U.S. CONGRESS:

Congress must pass legislation requiring Supreme Court justices to follow a binding and enforceable code of ethics. Lower federal judges are already subject to a code of conduct, yet the justices on the nation’s highest court remain largely responsible for policing themselves, even when serious questions arise about conflicts of interest, gifts, financial disclosures, or recusals in cases before them. That is unacceptable. Public trust in the Supreme Court depends on real accountability, not voluntary standards. Congress has the authority and responsibility to ensure that no justice is above basic ethics rules.

Pass legislation now to require a binding code of ethics for Supreme Court justices, strengthen transparency, and create a meaningful enforcement process.

Supreme Court justices hold enormous power over our rights, freedoms, democracy, and the future of the United States. But unlike lower federal judges, they are still not bound by a clear, enforceable code of ethics with real accountability.

That is unacceptable.

A voluntary code is not enough. The justices should not be left to police themselves when serious questions arise about conflicts of interest, gifts, financial disclosures, or recusals in cases before them.

Congress must act.
