‘We Will Deny You Security Unless You Do What We Want’: Republicans Slam Democrat Tactics on Supreme Court Ethics
< < Go Back
Republicans are denouncing Democratic senators’ attempt to leverage the Supreme Court budget in exchange for an enforceable ethics code.
During a Senate Judiciary hearing on Supreme Court ethics reform, Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Josh Hawley, R-Mo., tore into their Democratic colleagues for “threatening to cut off the funding for the security at the Supreme Court,” as Cruz said.
“The Left is willing to threaten the lives of the justices,” said the Texas senator. “This is disgraceful.”
Cruz: "We had 15 Senate Democrats, including six members of this committee, send a letter to the appropriations committee threatening to cut off the funding for security at the Supreme Court. The left is willing to threaten the lives of the justices." pic.twitter.com/ipvhAoU14l
