The Senate Judiciary Committee held a contentious hearing on ethics standards for Supreme Court justices, following a series of revelations around conservative justices’ financial entanglements. This is Rhode Island Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse: “The Supreme Court is playing out of bounds of the ethics rules for federal judges. Justices read the ethics rules in unique and eccentric ways, and when they’re caught out of bounds, they refuse to allow any investigation of the facts.”

Ranking Republican Senator Lindsey Graham accused Democrats of “selective outrage” and going after the court due to its conservative supermajority. No justices were at the hearing, after Chief Justice John Roberts declined Committee Chair Dick Durbin’s invitation to testify last week. We’ll have more on this story after headlines.
