In early June a group of transparency advocates and government watchdogs called for the U.S. Supreme Court to provide greater access to the justices’ financial disclosure forms, the latest of which are set to be released June 30. The occasion was a briefing on financial transparency at the high court hosted by the House Transparency Caucus. Reps. Darrell Issa, R-California, and Mike Quigley, D-Illinois, led the event.
“Lifetime appointments, the lack of any accountability or recourse for self-dealing makes it essential that we truly understand what conflicts may exist in [the justices'] financial or, in fact, their personal lives,” Issa said. “They have the ultimate responsibility for determining the rules that they live by and that the lower courts will live by unless Congress intervenes.”
