Dick Durbin said "“The highest court in the land shouldn’t have the lowest ethical standards. Public trust in the Supreme Court remains near historic lows, and every story of a luxury gift or questionable failure to recuse contributes to it. The American people should expect transparent recusals and ethical conduct from every justice, regardless of the party of the President who appointed them. I thank Senator Murphy for reintroducing this legislation, and I encourage all my colleagues to support this popular anti-corruption measure,”" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
