Recent developments in the U.S. judiciary system have sparked calls for ethics reform and the strengthening of federal bribery laws. Politicians and lawmakers are advocating for measures such as the Judicial Integrity Act and the GOLD Standard Act to address concerns of corruption and conflicts of interest. Allegations of bribery involving gold bars, particularly in the case of Senator Bob Menendez, have led to bipartisan efforts to enhance anti-bribery regulations and ensure accountability among public officials.

Handpicking which judge you want to hear your case goes against the fundamentals of a fair and just court system—& it's how MAGA extremists have pushed forward their dangerous positions on mifepristone & so much else. These reforms are a good step. https://t.co/MCpjQNgC7B

America has seen what happens when MAGA Republicans use the courts to advance their unpopular agenda because they cannot prevail in the court of public opinion – just look to recent mifepristone cases in Texas. I'm pleased to see the Judicial Conference is acting. https://t.co/Fryf5UuV2N
Hand-picked judges from conservative interest groups. Lavish dinner parties and international vacations. Refusals to recuse over conflicts of interest. It reeks of corruption and scandal. We need serious ethics reform to restore trust in the Supreme Court. https://t.co/WSpll8jL0b
