South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham, the top ranking Republican on the Senate judiciary committee, said that he will block Democrats’ attempts to pass an ethics bill to rein in the US supreme court.
Graham told NBC News that he “will object” to the bill on Wednesday, meaning it will not move forward on its legislative journey.
Senate judiciary committee chairman Dick Durbin, from Illinois, told reporters that Senate Democrats are working to unanimously move the bill forward, the Hill reported. Durbin co-authored the bill with Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island.
“We’re planning on making a move on the floor this week to move the ethics bill for the supreme court,” Durbin said.
