“While I applaud this decision by the federal judiciary to clarify its financial disclosure rules to properly reflect federal law and ensure justices and judges disclose the value of free trips, the Senate and the American people deserve to know the full extent of how billionaires with interest before the Court use their immense wealth to buy private access to our Supreme Court. I will continue to push for more transparency and for an enforceable code of conduct for Supreme Court justices. The highest court in the land should not have the lowest ethical standards.”
