Senate Democrats render a verdict on Supreme Court ethics

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : The Senate Democrats said Justice Alito should have stepped back from cases related to the 2020 election because of the flags associated with the Stop the Steal movement his wife Martha Ann Alito flew outside their homes and Justice Thomas should have recused from cases related to Donald Trump due to Ginni Thomas' political activities and her contact with the Trump White House urging them to persist in disputing the 2020 election results.
28% : Still, in light of public suggestions from Thomas, Alito and their allies that the ethics complaints were disingenuous attacks by their critics, the emergence of even a limited consensus from the nine-member court on ethics issues represented an achievement for Roberts in his efforts to rebuild the court's credibility.
21% : With the House already in GOP hands, the Senate coming under Republican control next month and Donald Trump returning to the White House, legislation on the topic of Supreme Court ethics seems dead for the foreseeable future.
