Durbin Calls on Supreme Court to Create Code of Conduct as New Term Begins

Statement

Date: Oct. 2, 2023
Location: SPRINGFIELD
Issues: Government Operations Criminal Justice

“The Supreme Court’s new docket, which begins today, should start with one essential element: re-establishing the integrity of the Court.

The public reports of lavish gifts, luxury vacations, and sordid political relationships go to the heart of this Court’s credibility. Failure by the Court to establish a code of conduct makes these nine Justices self-anointed royalty in our democracy.

The highest court in our land should not have the lowest standard of ethics.”
