75% of voters support a binding ethics code for the Supreme Court.

They're tired of justices receiving millions of dollars in gifts from political donors, some of whom have cases before the court.

So why did Senate Republicans block a SCOTUS ethics bill yesterday?

Hello?

What does 25% of voters want? 🤔

@rbreich Because someone who is beholding to you is more controllable, and control is what it's all about

@rbreich that's rule by law. You don't need a majority to do that, you only need the courts.

@rbreich Lack of a Senate ethics code?

If they enforce ethics on scotus where will it stop?

Congress? The president? The house ethics committee?

Pretty soon cops will be held accountable, is that a word you want to live in?

They're afraid that the next movement might be to put a binding, enforceable code of ethics on Congress.

Why? Do you even need to ask?

@rbreich Probably because republicans don’t act against their own political operatives in the court. All six of them.
