Yes, the Supreme Court should be independent. That includes independence from moneyed interests and oligarchs. There is currently next to zero ethics enforcement relative to the Supreme Court.

SCOTUS is supposed to interpret the constitution. The whole point is you shouldn’t be able to defund them to pressure them with money.

So if congress wants to place funding contingent on the creation and implementation of an ethics board, fine by me.

Yes. However, they are currently already being pressured my money externally. It’s better to pressure them with money once into an ethics reform rather than seeing them continually fall to the pressure of external political influence.
