Justice Alito's refusal to recuse himself from cases related to January 6 and the 2020 election has sparked calls for an enforceable code of ethics for the Supreme Court. Top Democrats, including Sen. Richard J. Durbin, emphasize the need for accountability and ethical standards to restore public trust in SCOTUS.
The Alito family flying symbols of election denialism outside of their homes, and now Justice Alito outright refusing to recuse himself from 2020 election-related cases, continues to erode confidence in SCOTUS. We need an enforceable code of ethics for the Supreme Court NOW. https://t.co/DO3RvKyqnS

This response from Justice Alito is totally unsatisfactory. Flying flags associated with the Stop the Steal movement absolutely raises questions about his impartiality. That is the ethics standard at play here. He must recuse. https://t.co/p4kQyJDeow
Justice Alito's refusal to recuse himself is just the latest example of why Congress must act on Supreme Court ethics and recusal standards. Public trust in SCOTUS has cratered – and Justice Alito's head-in-the-sand approach further threatens this Court's integrity. https://t.co/RV3TG14Ywi
Justice Alito clearly has a conflict of interests in any case related to January 6, yet is refusing to recuse himself. This is unacceptable. We need serious, enforceable ethics reform to restore the American people's trust in the Supreme Court. https://t.co/rvTAvYPMSU
Once again, it's crystal clear - the Supreme Court needs an *enforceable* code of ethics. I recently joined a letter calling for accountability for Justice Alito. If SCOTUS won't act, Congress must to ensure our highest court is held to the highest ethical standards. https://t.co/ybqYuiXtdN
