The proposed law holds the Supreme Court to the same standards - TopicsExpress



          

The proposed law holds the Supreme Court to the same standards required of judges in the federal court system. Currently, Justices on the Supreme Court decide for themselves if they should recuse themselves from cases in which they may have a personal stake or in Thomas’ case, his wife has a political or financial stake as a holy roller in the Tea Party. Justices Thomas and Scalia, who attended a few partisan fundraisers, also ruled in favor of the conservatives -- raising questions about their independence. This was especially true in Citizens United because that ruling undid decades of established law. Both of these actions violate the code of conduct already in place for Federal court judges.
