Why this matters
Supreme Court ethics legislation targets the accountability gap between justices and lower federal judges, who are already bound by an enforceable code of conduct. For civil rights litigants — whose cases on voting, discrimination, reproductive, and LGBTQ rights often reach the Court — enforceable recusal and disclosure standards bear directly on perceived and actual due-process fairness at the final appellate level.
