“Democratic Senators Demand Supreme Court Ethics Reform Following Alito Flag Controversy”

^{Democratic Senators Request Meeting With Chief Justice Roberts Over Flags Flown At Alito’s Homes}

Two Democratic senators, Dick Durbin and Sheldon Whitehouse, have requested a meeting with Chief Justice John Roberts regarding ethics concerns in the Supreme Court. This follows reports that flags flown by rioters during the January 6 Capitol attack had been displayed outside Justice Samuel Alito’s homes. The senators are urging Roberts to ensure Alito recuses himself from any related cases. This request is part of a broader effort to address Supreme Court ethics, especially as trust in the court hits a historic low. The Supreme Court, which adopted an ethics code in 2023, faces criticism over lack of enforcement mechanisms and undisclosed gifts to justices. The court did not comment on the senators’ letter.
