Supreme Court Ethics and Investigations Act

This bill would allow the Chief Justice to create two new offices inside the U.S. Supreme Court. An Office of Ethics Counsel would advise justices and their spouses on ethics matters such as gifts, financial disclosure, political activity, and recusal, run ethics training for justices twice a year, and report yearly to Congress. An Office of Investigative Counsel would review and investigate ethics complaints against justices filed by certain congressional leaders, with power to issue subpoenas. Investigation reports would go to the Chief Justice and to several congressional committees, and possible federal crimes would be reported to the Attorney General.
