"At a time when public trust in the Supreme Court has collapsed to historic lows, it's critical that we enact legislation to reform this broken system," Warren in a statement Tuesday."From banning federal judges from owning individual stocks to overhauling the broken judicial recusal process, my bill would help root out corruption and restore public trust in the federal judiciary—something that Chief Justice [John] Roberts has simply failed to do.
on the Supreme Court, require the high court to issue written"recusal decisions" whenever a litigant asks a justice to withdraw from a case, and prohibit all federal judges from owning individual stocks, commercial real estate, trusts, and private corporations. The bill has six original co-sponsors in the Senate—including Sens. Bernie Sanders , Ed Markey , and Tina Smith —and 13 in the House, including Reps. Katie Porter , Jerry Nadler , Mondaire Jones , and Ilhan Omar
"We can no longer stand by while our judges and justices take advantage of our system to build wealth and power at the expense of our country's most marginalized," said Jayapal ."A system without basic ethics is a corrupt system." "People deserve impartial judges and justices who aren't beholden to special interests or to their personal agenda," Jayapal added."Nobody is above the law. Not even a Supreme Court justice. My bill with Sen. Warren will reinstate the checks and balances needed to ensure a fair and balanced judicial system that fulfills its promise of equal justice under the law."
RepJayapal Who would have known if not for You Folks saying so? Yup⁉️ G-G
RepJayapal Brown
RepJayapal Sounds good.
RepJayapal 'Yes folks. And that's why I and the entire Progressive Caucus endorsed RepShontelBrown'
RepJayapal Rep Jayapal you are 100% spot on! Mitch McConnell is the author of the Supreme Court corruption. OBama was robbed of even getting his guy interviewed. Kavanaugh is a total caustic predictor and took money and Barrett is under qualified and belongs to a cult.We are in big trouble
RepJayapal Good. I hope it goes somewhere.
RepJayapal Just warmin’ up
RepJayapal SC security bill must be linked to this and ethics reform
RepJayapal Definitely a step in the right direction to hold the SC to at least the standards expected of other judges.
RepJayapal The minute RepJayapal endorses her own State's Single-Payer healthtrust advocacy group or even publicly acknowledges that they exist I will start believing anything she says But until then I'm going to have to take it all with a grain of salt unfortunately 😞
RepJayapal The bill defines corruption as anything that makes Warren and Jayapal angry.
RepJayapal Looks like the new talking point memo came out today.
RepJayapal You mean like Loyalists in the Undemocratic Party have been doing for decades, RepJayapal And yes, I mean you too. Complicit
RepJayapal I'm sure RepShontelBrown will be so helpful on this. /s
