Senate Judiciary Committee sends legislation imposing code of ethics on Supreme Court to full Senate
The vote was along party lines, 11-10, with Democrats using their slight majority to muscle it through.
The legislation is “as dead as fried chicken,” according to Sen. John Kennedy, Louisiana Republican, who noted it won’t receive the necessary 60 votes in the Senate to pass or even be taken up in the GOP-controlled House.
But Senate Democrats insist a code of ethics for the justices is needed after a series of reports on undisclosed luxury vacations taken by Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr.
Both justices have denied any sort of conflict of interest in their travels.

SCOTUS is a separate branch of government. Congressional Democrats are going after Clarence Thomas. Who do they think they are? 😡🤬😡🤬
The Democrat Senators are making the appearance of being relevant.
They are acting amateurish
Demonrats don’t control the Supreme Court anymore, so they are throwing temper tantrums.
They think they can scare and intimidate Thomas and Alito.
They are WRONG!
