A group of Democratic senators want to withhold $10 million in Supreme Court funding until it adopts a public code of ethics: report

A group of 15 Democratic Senators wants to withhold $10 million in Supreme Court funding until the high court institutes a public code of ethics, according to The Hill.

At the beginning of April, Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen — the chair of a subcommittee in charge of the Supreme Court's budget — suggested the court needed a code of ethics, adding that Congress needed to act.

"It is unacceptable that the Supreme Court has exempted itself from the accountability that applies to all other members of our federal courts, and I believe Congress should act to remedy this problem," Van Hollen told the Washington Post.

Unmentioned in Van Hollen's statement to the Washington Post was that a group of senators wrote to Van Hollen's Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee just days prior, on March 31, requesting $10 million be shaved from the Supreme Court's budget until a public code of ethics was adopted.

4. Defund the court?

Just shut down the coke machine and beer taps.
Or lock the men's room doors "down for maintenance"
These can be done without congressional approval.
