| Description | Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) led a group of lawmakers on the House and Senate Judiciary committees in announcing the bill, called the “Twenty-First Century Courts Act.” Whitehouse said the bill is aimed at addressing a lack of clear, enforceable standards for when justices should recuse themselves.
“A Supreme Court justice is not required to address why he or she doesn’t think he or she needs to recuse, and if a party thinks they really ought to have recused, they have no recourse,” Whitehouse said at a press conference. |
