Sherrilyn Ifill, Endowed Chair in Civil Rights at Howard University, talks with Rachel Maddow about President Joe Biden's three-part proposal for reining in the rogue Roberts Supreme Court that is no longer bound by any rules as it decides whatever outcome suits the conservative majority's apparent agenda.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s openness to an enforceable code of conduct for Supreme Court justices is both obviously good and oddly remarkable. It’s good because a code isn’t worth anything if it can’t be enforced. And it’s remarkable because, despite that plain fact, it’s apparently a matter of debate within the high court.
What we know is that the code on which the justices agreed is presently unenforceable; hence the attention on the justices’ rare public comments on the matter. A binding ethics code is one of the Supreme Court reforms for which President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have announced support. To be sure, if it were to be achieved, it wouldn’t necessarily have as great an effect as would a serious structural change like term limits, another Biden-backed measure.
