Bitter partisan debates between Democrats and Republicans on the Senate Judiciary panel fueled a hearing on Supreme Court ethics Tuesday.
While members heard testimony from a variety of witnesses ranging from judicial ethics experts to a former attorney general in the George W. Bush administration, the lawmakers used their questioning to reinforce their own arguments. Democrats argued in favor of ethical guidelines that the Supreme Court must follow while Republicans countered that the current push to enforce ethics is because liberals aren't pleased with the recent decisions of a conservative leaning Supreme Court.
