The Supreme Court that has no accountability is neither supreme nor is it a legitimate court.

Senator Whitehouse continues to demonstrate what a real patriot is. Keep holding their feet to the fire. Thank you.

Thank you Senator Whitehouse stay AWESOME sir 😎 🙏 💯 💙 🌊

A good step in the right direction. Thank you, Senator Whitehouse. And now it's time to clean house and get rid of those who have shown themselves to have no ethics - or shame.

It’s ironic. Not an hour before this story broke, I listened to these same two people discuss the 90 amendments made to the bill to subpoena the billionaires who gave gifts to Supreme Court Justices. MSNBC got an interview with Senator Whitehouse really fast. Thank-you.

Just brilliant. We need more heroes like this in all of government. Love this. Like a pitbull with a bone. Thank you for your service and the tenacity to follow through with this issue.

This "Ethics Code of Conduct" is not enough. The SCOTUS action today is basically just to appease the public's lack of confidence in the court's legitimacy. Senator Whitehouse, thank you for continuing to hold the court's feet to the fire for accountability, transparency, and answering reasons for recusal from any case before the court. The intention to continue to enforce the subpoenas is necessary. Answers to multiple questions could possibly return legitimacy to the SCOTUS. This is the only way to find the truth behind the facades presented to date.

This is exactly my opinion. The disastrous Citizens United ruling must be overturned. It was enacted by bribes from billionaires. It’s absurd to believe that corporations have the same rights as people.

The Senate increased from 6 to 9 justices, they could very well eliminate a few too. The founding fathers never meant for them to be individual kings either with no standards of conduct or way to enforce this conduct for life?!

I read the new SCOTUS Ethics Code. There are huge loopholes allowing amicus briefs from their benefactors and affiliated organizations, not addressing unseemly political campaigns supporting nominees' confirmation for Justice - are they gifts? To name just a couple.

I believe Senator Whitehouse is single-handedly responsible for the code of conduct (even if it's a sham). Once he started pulling the strings on the money, they sure started to listen.

DARK SHADED HUMANS AREN'T ALLOWED in MRS. Skull Bones's beach club. And to think Justice Thomas had the nerve to marry a light shaded human. JUST IMAGINE you LYING HYPOCRITE Sheldon.

they need to do more! without consequences it's no more than a yapping dog. personally until the supreme court starts to have oversight then no court in this country is legitimate just because any case might end up in front of the supreme court and can be decide by whoever pays the most!

*WHY* would *ANYONE* leave *UP TO SCOTUS Justices* the *picking of the people* that are to do the gathering, investigating, etc., of ethics complaints *against* SCOTUS Justices??! There needs to be a *neutral person/people* that are assigned to a Committee, or something like that, for *those purposes alone* ! Certain SCOTUS Justices have *PROVEN* -- beyond a doubt -- that they are untrustworthy.

Yeah, good luck with that. The country knows the justices are crooked and they're try to pass an olive branch, but it's a hollow gesture 🙄 Lovin Senator Whitehouse for the incredible job he is doing; not just for Rohde Islanders, but for ALL Americans 🇺🇸

They are calling that a player at the plate can have strikes but they haven’t gotten around to ruling when a high roller is out.

Not taking bribes from billionaires is a great start 😮

you know we are deep $#!t when we celebrate when court actually decides to agree to follow the law. without the means of enforcement, however, this is less than meaningless.

Any Supreme Court justices. Hold them all accountable to the same standards, at the Very Least, of all other justices. They should really be held to higher standards. No other justice has a lifetime appointment so they should be scrutinized more thoroughly

They have to be held accountable for their past misdeeds.

KICK Thomas & Alito OUT‼️ AND, Roberts, for allowing the criminal behavior to go on.😡😡

They have already proven time and again that they cannot police themselves.

I love Senator Sheldon Whitehouse. He keeps it real and up front and refuses to step away from issues like this that are hugely important. The Supreme Court needs to 'fess up and stop playing around with gifts. It's embarrassing.

The baseball metaphor is brilliant, Sen. Whitehouse! Without an umpire/arbiter of rules, they aren’t professional - they are nothing more than a neighborhood pick-up game. Even the amateur league has umpires! The arrogance of thinking they do not need to be accountable to anyone is outrageous.

Make the corrupt Supreme Court cry like a baby! 😭 Thank you, Senator Whitehouse! You're the man!🙂👍!

Sheldon Whitehouse for president 2028.

Most importantly, what cases were brought to the court by these millionaires/billionaires. What did they buy and which justices sold our country and for how much $?

Justice Sotomayor is correct: The stench is irradicable, and the Extreme Court is doing and has done nothing to mitigate the stank of an outhouse that is two-thirds full. "Justices are required to uphold the integrity and independence of the Judiciary and avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all activities." This is their *_"new"_* code of ethics? FFS! Wasn't that expected of them in the first place - before they issued this meaningless, mollifying code? "To dispel this misunderstanding (that we have no code of ethics), we are issuing this Code (that is a blatant admission that they previously had *_NO_* code of ethics), which "largely" (

Who will guard against the guards

Question: During the Obama and Bush presidencies emergency stays were only issued 8 times. Conversely, emergency stays were issued 44 times during the Trump reign. These stays have no opinions or how the justices voted dispersed, and are done in closed door meetings. Can anything be done here?

Senator Whitehouse has been fighting to flood the Supreme Court with the light of Truth & make sure Ethical Standards are no different then what we demand of every court. However, without enforcement or consequences if ethical standards are not followed & enforced by a neutral arbitrator! TY Sen. Whitehouse & Nicole Wallace bring all of this consistently to public attention. Justice Matters, Trust in our courts are critical for the Rule of Law!👏👏🇺🇸💙🌎🙏

He has the name for the job I want him to have.

Senator Whitehouse looks and sounds like someone who could be President.

Well it is hard when you want to continue being corrupt. That's big $$$ for some to lose.

The Right Wing Justices should all step down for their coverups.

Why is Ginni Thomas being protected , and by whom, from being subpoenaed/indicted for her involvement in Jan 6 ?

Defunding the court or curtailing expenditure accounts seems the only recourse?!?

There should be consequences for the harm done to our democratic republic by the negligence of not having these rules in place prior to the behavior that would have been curbed by them.

So please forgive all past infractions and let's just forget all about it!

Oh, I lost my belief in the Supreme Court with Bush v. Gore. These abuses just strengthen my disdain for them.

Consequences??? If and when these ethical ideas are violated, what are the consequences? No consequences, the rules are worthless.

What is the possible pity of having them removed?

I read it (it's posted on SCOTUS' website). Seems pretty complete, except any complaint or enforcement mechanism, plus zero guardrails on amicus briefs, plus it seems legal non profits (Federalist Society?) have slightly looser standards. So... aaaalmost. I love how that introduction leaves open to interpretation exactly who was misunderstanding the rules. There was some stuff in the commentary that talked about some actions to track stuff like conflicts of interest, so a bit more than empty words.

Don't be duped. The reason for this sudden effort? Some of the same billionaires that own the justices called. "Do something about our being subpoenaed".

If republican politicians disagree with the supenas then it proves how partisan the supreme Court really is

They wrote their own of code of ethics.¿?

So, we all had it wrong when we thought some of the justices did not have any ethics. We're so sorry we didn't trust you! Just don't know how we could have thought that way.

When I see Niclole Wallace, I see a bit of Ivanka Trump. When I see Judge Sotomayor, I see Rachel Ticotin in her Total Recall days. LOL.🤣

Ohhhhhh, so it has no teeth to it! Well, now I’m disappointed again.
