Ted Cruz lecturing anyone about ethics and integrity is probably the funniest thing I have heard and seen all day.

[TheFriarduc]

Highest court must not have the lowest standard. Thank you!

[strumptavianroboclick]

Ill never understand the amount of power handed to judges.. its sickening

[kyd]

It blows my mind, to hear Senators who should be in jail, argue about ethics. These days there seems to be no shame.

[UncleEbenezer]

Lindsey Graham shouldn’t be involved in anything regarding ethics reform.

[kingayy]

4:40 "The highest court in the land should not have the lowest ethical standards."
That sums it up very well.

[peterford]

Exactly right Mr Durbin. This is NOT political, it is ethical.

[BoomersZoomers]

Imagine the highest court of the land arguing against a code of ethics😢

[flowersalem]

Well, I was going to listen to this but then Lindsey Graham started talking... I have zero patience for that man.

[czarwill]

I must say I have a new level of disrespect for most of the Republican's on this committee from their behavior here. There is a confidence problem in the highest court in the land where they consistently act as royalty over peasants. If they cannot resolve self policing, as we are, they will have NO authority among Americans in the future. This is a prolonged national crisis.

We the People should demand ethic laws be put on the Supreme Court, they are out of control and think they are above the law.

[tobyhansen]

Knew the moment Lindsey gram was acknowledged he was going to try to twist it into a "left vs right" statement so annoying

[clairemooney]

Do the Republican Senators have opinions of their own ? They are all saying the same thing.

[lynnwelch]

There needs to be term limits for the Supreme Court Justices!!!

[wesir]

I love how the GOP points out potential conflicts of interest like a Harvard case and a judge that fundraises for them and somehow that's a reason to not force them to follow a code of conduct.

[moremiaj]

I hope that the integrity of the supreme court will be restored. This is not a This is a curse upon all corrupt judges.

[bobbiejeancarter]

Mr. Graham does not know what ethics are. How can he even sit in judgement of what's right and wrong!

[janedoe]

I find it astounding that ANY judge would refuse to agree to ethical rules being applied to the Supreme Court. I worked for a museum and received a packet of cookies for caring for her husbands medals. I had to enter the gift into a official book of gifts. Had I not done so would have resulted in a hearing and possible dismissal. Corruption on this scale is outrageous.

“If you wanna talk about destroying the court count me out” nobody is trying to destroy the court. Graham is one of the best when it comes to making others angry. I can only imagine how he treats the people who work for him..

[doogey]

If Lindsey Graham wants to be justice, Thomas’s attorney, he needs to recuse himself from Congress and do that. Otherwise he needs to shut up and we need to get something done about this. He has no business being on this committee.
