Gorsuch's undisclosed property deals spark Supreme Court ethics crisis.

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch's sale of a property to the CEO of a law firm with cases before the court, and his failure to disclose the buyer's name, raises concerns about corruption and impartiality. The US Code requires judges to disqualify themselves in cases where their impartiality may be questioned, and there are penalties for willful violations of financial disclosure requirements. Congress has the authority to tighten financial disclosure requirements and introduce an enforceable ethics code for the Supreme Court, but Republicans are likely to block such measures. The Senate must assert its constitutional responsibilities and hold hearings to increase the legitimacy and credibility of the court.
