Amid growing concerns about the ethical conduct of Supreme Court justices, several legislative measures are being introduced to address these issues. Representative Dan Goldman has introduced a bill in Congress aimed at ensuring higher ethical standards for the Supreme Court. Senior Senate Democrats are leveraging the annual funding bill to push for ethics reforms from Supreme Court Justice John Roberts. Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamie Raskin are advocating for term limits and stricter ethics codes, particularly regarding the acceptance of gifts worth hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, which they describe as a jailable offense. Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin plans to bring his Supreme Court ethics reform bill up for a vote, although Republican lawmakers have vowed to block it. Ocasio-Cortez and Raskin have also described the Supreme Court as fundamentally unaccountable and rogue.
