"Supreme Court Ethics: Dems Take Action to Address Legitimacy Crisis"
Senate Democrats are advancing legislation that would impose an ethics code on the Supreme Court for the first time in history, aiming to keep conservative justices' ties to GOP donors and their rightward bent in the public spotlight. While the bill is unlikely to become law, Democrats see it as a way to remind voters about the court's polarizing opinions and ethical entanglements. The move is part of a long-term strategy to shape the political fight over the high court in their favor, despite Republican opposition and the slim Democratic majority in Congress.
