Read our new op-ed in Just Security on how Congress can act to help restore public trust in all three branches of government – but most importantly in our Supreme Court.
The #SupremeCourt’s new #ethics code fails to deliver meaningful reform, write Virgina Canter and Gabe Lezra of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). This outcome is tied to how the Court sees public corruption law, they argue – which #Congress could reform to restore public trust at a critical moment. #SCOTUS https://lnkd.in/eZr7Aw5f
At the Supreme Court, Public Corruption Jurisprudence and Lack of Meaningful Ethics Reform Go Hand-in-Hand

Big news from Team CREW: Our 14th Amendment lawsuit enforcing Donald Trump's disqualification from office is heading to the Supreme Court on February 8th. Last month, the Colorado Supreme Court barred Trump from the ballot, based on his incitement of insurrection which it determined based on evidence from our five day bench trial earlier last fall. We look forward to proving our case at the Supreme Court and representing the six courageous Republican and unaffiliated Colorado voters who brought this lawsuit in September.
