Rehnquist orders study for federal judicial ethics



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

I do not expect much to come of this, at least for the pressing matter with Scalia and Cheney, but it is interesting to see that the Supreme Court is feeling a bit of heat. Too bad Rehnquist only seems to listen to party members while dismissing non party member calls for action. The timing of both the Rehnquist move and the Cheney case are good though because it puts it in play to be another election year issue.

"House Judiciary Committee Chairman F. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., told judicial leaders at a private meeting this spring that judges are not adequately disciplining their colleagues. Sensenbrenner's remarks focused on controversies that arose before the Scalia hunting trip, and Sensenbrenner's allegation that judges swept lapses under the rug." - AP
