Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) says Senate Democrats don’t have any jurisdiction over the Supreme Court’s ethics and should “stay out” of the court’s business, after ProPublica reported conservative Justice Samuel Alito accepted a luxury fishing vacation from wealthy benefactors.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), the chairman of a key Judiciary subcommittee, said in response to the report that they will mark up Supreme Court ethics legislation.

But McConnell sent a strong signal Wednesday that any Supreme Court ethics reform bill is not likely to get enough Republican support to overcome a filibuster.

“Look, the Supreme Court, in my view, can’t be dictated to by Congress. I think the chief justice will address these issues. Congress should stay out of it, because we don’t, I think, have the jurisdiction to tell the Supreme Court how to handle the issue,” he said.

Mitch: Any back room deals, blackmail threats or intimidation to be dished out are my business, not yours.

How many Senators can hop on a billionaire’s private jet just for asking? I bet a dozen at least.

So when is Little Dick Durban and the dimocrats going to deal with unethical practice of congressional insider trading?

Hah.

But not Swamp Thing which had Adrienne Barbeau around.

Never did like her.

He must be working up something with the democrats to sell conservatives out. Usually that is when he starts throwing out these little nuggets of red meat to the base.

The problem is that he has done it so many times, people don't trust him at all. Only people who like this is the RINO pushers who claim that this shows he is conservative and the lesser of two evils.

Usually he is gearing up for a big betrayal.

[No name given]

Unfortunately.

[joethedrummer]

Shut up, Mitch…

YOU need to stop bending over and spreading your cheeks for the democrats.

‘Rats need to get into [China Mitch’s] Ditch’s “ethics”.

[Machavelli]

What a horrible human being! He should admit that he is a big-government swamp monster who sold his soul to the Chinese.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

You mean like McConnell stays out of the Dems attempts to steal elections?
