Making the Case

Clean Up on Aisle SC


Listen Later

Most people agree that the highest court in the land shouldn’t have the lowest ethical standards. But you may be wondering: if the Court refuses to police itself, can Congress step in? 


Yes — and they’ve done it before. 


In this episode of Making the Case, Senator Whitehouse is joined by Rep. Hank Johnson, Fix the Court Executive Director Gabe Roth, and Campaign Legal Center Senior Director of Ethics Kedric Payne. These experts will walk through some of the ethics crises facing the Court, how the Supreme Court’s conduct compares to what’s allowed in other branches, and the key role Congress can play in cleaning up this mess.
