Call for U.S. Congress to Cause to Urge the United States Supreme Court to Develop and Abide by Ethical Standards

WHEREAS, There is clear and convincing evidence that the United States Supreme Court has failed to adhere to any ethical standards, as shown by mounting allegations of misconduct by multiple Justices, involving clear and obvious conflicts of interest, including those related to members of their families; and

WHEREAS, It has become increasingly evident that the Court has refused to self-govern and has not addressed any of these numerous alleged ethical issues.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) hereby demands that the United States Congress immediately take all steps within its power, or otherwise call upon the Court, to develop ethical rules by which Justices must abide, including mandatory recusal from all matters in which a Justice has a conflict of interest.
