 Gillibrand says recent reports about some justices accepting lavish gifts undermine the court's credibility. It's simply outrageous. Federal judges and especially Supreme Court justices should be above reproach. Even the appearance of impropriety undermines the public trust. Gillibrand says the judicial branch has less oversight and accountability than the executive and legislative branches. She says the bill would subject the court to the same kind of public disclosure rules that members of Congress have to follow.
