(American Independent) The Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on Supreme Court ethics reform on Tuesday in the wake of revelations that suggest three conservative justices failed to properly disclose income and gifts they had received. A new poll, shared exclusively with the American Independent Foundation, finds strong support for reform. The survey, conducted April 18 and 19 by Public Policy Polling for the progressive political group End Citizens United // Let America Vote, found that two-thirds of American voters say they do not trust or have confidence in the Supreme Court… End Citizens United // Let America Vote President Tiffany Muller told the American Independent Foundation in an email on Monday that the poll showed the public agrees: The scandals plaguing the Supreme Court reaffirm Americans’ worst suspicions about the lack of ethics and integrity in the institution. They know that the Court is captured by shadowy dark money groups and billionaires. These results clearly indicate that Americans want more transparency into the Justices’ outside activities to identify any potential conflicts of interests, and accountability when they run afoul of the law. Congress should heed these warnings and implement a code of ethics to restore faith and trust in one of the most important institutions of our democracy.
