Durbin Vows to Press Supreme Court Ethics Code Despite Rebuff

Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin vowed to press ahead with legislation to impose an ethics code for the US Supreme Court despite the justices’ rebuff of formal conduct standards.

Durbin also held out hope in an interview with Bloomberg Television on Monday that the effort would attract Republicans, citing a law Congress approved last year with GOP backing requiring all federal judges, including Supreme Court Justices to disclose stock holdings related to cases they hear.

Democratic Senator Dick Durbin sees Congress eventually reaching an agreement to raise the debt ceiling and says talks should have started long ago. He speaks to Bloomberg’s David Westin in New York.
