SCOTUS under new ethics rule thanks to Sen. Whitehouse - The Last Word - MSNBC



Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse tells MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell it feels “good” to get a new ethics rule that Supreme Court justices have to disclose certain gifts and trips, but describes the “huge” gap that remains to gaining ethical transparency, including the lack of process to investigate any possible ethical violations such as the $600,000 anonymous donations to a group led by Ginni Thomas. - Aired on 03/29/2023.

We always thought that the Supreme Court was sacrosanct, but now it's everywhere. "Everything that TFG touches dies."
