of judges. three of the six members of the commission are representatives of politics and the congress of judgesand decisions are made by the majority, the votes of international experts are not taken into account as a priority. therefore, the threat of political involvement does not disappear, then the law was sharply criticized by experts and by public activists, and the venice commission refused to delegate its representatives to the expert group until the law is changed , and the eu joined this position after a high-profile scandal. deputy head of the president's office andriy smirnov assured that the issue will be resolved and the necessary changes have been made. now, one issue of the seventh member remains unresolved. in this group of experts, by the way, because in the adopted version of the law there are six members of the advisory group of experts, this issue is, i really hope it will be resolved in the near future, or found an adequate compromise instead of a compromise or changes, a new draft law that increasingly politicizes the procedure for selecting judges of the constitutional c

in its composition, six members , one each from the verkhovna rada of the president and the congress of judgesf ukraine, one person from the venice commission and two persons delegated by international organizations that provide assistance to ukraine in reforms in the sphere of the rule of law. by the way , the group must analyze each candidate for compliance with the criteria of integrity and professional competence, and this should allegedly allow appointing worthy ones, but there is a significant at the moment, the selection scheme does not provide for any participation of representatives of civil society, instead, representatives of the authorities continue to participate in the selection of judges three out of six members of the commission

of justice we do have the authority to pass laws, correct? >> yes. the constitution intended congress to play that role over judicial administration. >> the code of conduct encourages judgesto testify in legislative bodies regarding the administration of justice. that would not be there if it were not appropriate for congress to legislate regarding the administration of justice. >> agreed. >> you mentioned the ethics and government act, the recusal statutes, laws passed by congress? >> yes. >> they all apply to the court? >> in some cases using the word justices specifically which is the term that applies to supreme court justices only, correct? >> yes. >> has the application of those statutes to the supreme court ever been challenged in the years they've been in place? >> not to my knowledge. >> judge jeff fogel, you had to have the role judicial conference was given by statute, by congress to administer these laws. in the context of administering these laws particularly under supervision of the chief justice where -- were you ever told these laws were unconstitutional or the judicial conference or financial disclosure committee should not and force them? >> no, the just

, much as it has administered of law judges in many areas of the law, social security, disability benefits, congress could have created a specialized branch consisting of people who do nothing but review foreign intelligence surveillance applications for title i authority or certifications for 702 authority. it's possible it could be done that way. congress chose to set it up differently. i might point out, this morning the wall street journal called its editorial board, called for the abolition of the foreign intelligence court. and it is shielding the fbi of accountability, they made the same pitch about 5 years ago. i wrote a piece at the time, they could not abolish the surveillance court. congress could add more judges and create a different tribunal. and the foreign intelligence surveillance act. it has has the ability to do that. what it cannot do in my view constitutionality at least is abolish the foreign intelligence surveillance court and have no substitute. the supreme court basically said that even if you're trying to get authorization to conduct foreign surveillance, foreign electronic

have confidence that judges cannot be bought or influenced and that they are serving the public interest, not their own personal interests. over the course of several decades, congress and the judicial branch created a system of ethics laws and standards for federal judges that lay out the clear rules of the road. these rules promote transparency and disclosure. they place guardrails on conflicts of interest, provide mechanisms for investigation and enforcement, and ensure accountability for misconduct. they strengthen faith in the fairness of the courts and the judges who serve on them. we are here today because the supreme court of the united states of america does not consider itself bound by these rules. i invited the chief justice to join this conversation. last week he sent me a letter declining to testify to this hearing and he said, "separation of powers concerns and the importance of preserving the judicial independence." the reality is that sitting justices have testified at 92 congressional hearings since 1960. and i even offered to the chief justice the opportunity to designate someone else on the court to testify. but i'm more troubled by the suggestion

it requires federal judges, including the supreme court, to probably report when the public is made aware of any potential conflict due to a financial interest. members of congress have had to comply with the same requirements, so we made sure federal judges -- all federal judges should have to play by similar roles. the supreme court to weaker ethical obligations than other branches of government, i want to explore some of the differences briefly now. if i might, one obvious difference between congress and the supreme court is the court has no formal mechanism to provide guidance, investigate allegations or enforce ethical constraints on the justices. on the chair of the senate ethics committee and have seen firsthand the value of similar structures. why has the court failed to create a similar ethics body, and could it do so at any moment, if it chose to? >> is unclear why the court has decided not to establish such an internal body, it is a basic principle with any rules to have an enforcement or compliance mechanism internally. they could create this immediately, all they need is to establish an office within the supreme court that has ethics experts or prof

this can be a part of the debate that is going on, but remember that republicans in the prior congress voted against increasing the number of immigration judgesthat we wouldn't have over 1.2 million cases pending before 500 immigration judges. these are the judges that should decide on petitions for political asylum, whether they should be granted or not. the right to seek asylum doesn't guarantee asylum, it simply guarantees you profit or it has in the past. i am disappointed that the biden administration is seeking to replace title 42 with a similar policy that requires people to apply for asylum in another country. that makes it so difficult, and what are we going to do with the big surge at the border? there is a way to manage this orderly, humane, and with compassion. that's what democrats have stood for and historically, especially in the last ten years republicans have prevented immigration reform so the message that we sent to people all over the hemisphere is that the only way to come here is through other than authorized means. >> especially, though, you say there's a way to manage this. what's not being done? what's the way to mana

stability of the banking system and all depositors will be protected, while urging congress to provide us financial regulators, quoting funds, to hold all bank leaders accountable, but judgingf depositors. calm down the population, until the crisis turns out to be in the face of distrust in the financial system of americans, they take money from small banks and carry it to large ones, for example, the new savings account from apple card in the first week of its operation put almost a billion dollars, writes forbes , 240,000 accounts were opened. small banks cannot compete with such giants. now, according to the latest data, the average rate on deposits is about 0.4% accordingly, alternatives have already appeared. after uh, raising the reservation rate of five percent , various uh, companies are offering, uh, much more interesting rates even apple uh, are now offering savings accounts with 4:15 delivery to their customers. same it's time these banks can't just offer, but a competitive rate. since the return on their assets remains extremely low. buying each other's players and the failure of small banks leads to the emergence of super-giants, notes bloomberg and thanks to t

of the year. initially not everything then reminding them who's boss. in 1964, when congress had a pretty substantial pay raise for most federal officials, and including federal judgeslly got much less of a pay raise because congress has reflected its dissatisfaction with how the court had ruled in recent cases. there were other examples but for most of our history, there is red levers that congress could pull, not necessarily to overrule the court, that's the course job, not necessarily to prevent the court from asserting control in the system, but as madison wrote in federals 51, ambition must be made to counteract ambition. to counteract the ambition of the justices. i think that the big part of where we were today, nobody in congress is there to counteract. >> professor, i could listen to this all night. thanks very much for joining us tonight, we really appreciate it. stephen blatnik, important new book is the shadow docket. coming up, why do donald trump's former lawyer's turn against him. a former trump criminal defense lawyer now says that donald trump is going to jail. that's next. pain and symptoms? with ubrelvy, there's another option. one dose works fast

. >> the absence of an ethics code written by congress in the statute doesn't mean justices let guidance or accountability. justices and judges routinely consult with existing code of conduct and our requires recusal in certain circles like financial and just and we all know that. the justices are subject to strict disclosure rules just like my colleagues here. not only is this democratic proposal unconstitutional it is unnecessary. the attacks on conservative justices are targeted. they are exaggerated. the danger isn't robed justices are operating without ethics. it's that doma aren't winning every fight and they find that reality intolerable. i've been disappointed by the supreme court b opinions to my democratic colleagues should feel letter hurt feelings reported move on for the sake of the t constitution. look, the agenda driven story here is justice thomas had a rich friend who had no business before the united states supreme court. for context let's recall that history is littered with examples of public officials failing to disclose their everyy transaction. we can acknowledge it. we can acknowledge it's the right th

so that's where congress decides that judges are incapable of doing their jobs, which is the most importantone. sentencing people. and they're going to tell you how to sentence people. and i what i saw

prisoner at times with a number of comments we've had from some members of congress who actually agree with a know something that the judge was willing to contemplate at this point. and suggested that rewards would go to jail for 18 years because he was a threat to the united states and to the public. and this is by far the longest sentence handed out to anyone involved in those troubles, the rights on january the 6th. and thanks about the for to the washington dc. thank you. the united states as, as career the holding the largest of a joint administrative sizes mucking 70 years since the start of the military launch. the drills are set to last until mid june. problem right, has more not much in city in software. these exercises aren't being states to mock the 70 at the end of the 3 alliance between south korea and did i can states which came into being after the fighting had ended in the korean exercises. according to solve this defense fitness freaks they are among the biggest exercises that have ever been staged at the very latest jet fighters, your career is always an good by these exercises saying that they are a dre

so that's where congress decides that judges are incapable of doing their jobs, which is the most important one. sentencing people. and they're going to tell you how to sentence people. and i what i saw was this sentencing that had nothing to do as a separate from leonard's case. but leading into why i stepped down sentences that have nothing to do really with the crimes that have been committed or the individuals. and that's what sentencing is all about. right? you're sentencing the individual and i'm forced into giving sentences that are way more harsh than the circum stances call for the individuals should be sentence and so i end up sentencing three individuals, one of whom was only 23 years old, to life in prison for a nonviolent drug offense. and that's when i say enough is enough. this this. i am not going to continue to do this right, because in order to become a federal judge, you are investigated by the fbi. you're vetted by the white house, you're vetted by the department of justice. you are investigated again by the judiciary committee in the senate and the fbi. well, i mean, th

can call upon to assist the judges and some of the rather thornier issues that are presented to the foreign intelligence surveillance court. it is certainly possible that congressh many administrative law judges in many other areas of the law like social security disability benefits, that congress could have created a specialized branch consisting of people who do nothing but review foreign intelligence surveillance applications for title i authority, certifications for 702 authority. it's possible it could be done that way but congress chose to infect set it up differently. interestingly, the wall street journal this morning called its editorial board home for the abolition of the surveillance court and they say there should be no court at all and because it says the court is essentially shielding the fbi from accountability 702 excesses. they made the same pitch about five years ago when i wrote a piece at the time that said you cannot do that mom my view. you cannot abolish the foreign intelligence surveillance court and congress could add more judges, it could create a different tribunal to handle other parts of the foreign intelligence surveillance act. it

congress in 1978. there is no warrant. the foreign intelligence surveillance court which is the court that was established by the fisa act consisting of 11 u.s. district court judgeshat served in a secret, compartmented facility in washington, d.c. and they handled applications for court orders both under traditional fisa they also handled certifications that are presented to them under section 702. the difference is, traditional fisa, you are -- your target is either a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power. you have to convince the foreign intelligence surveillance court that there is probable cause to believe that the target is a foreign power or agent of a foreign power. you are using the telecommunications facilities to target or transmit foreign intelligence information. there is an individualized determination by the foreign intelligence surveillance court based upon probable cause that the target is a foreign power or agent of a foreign power. under 70 two, there is no probable cause hearing. there is no individualized targeting. instead, because the targets are all foreigners, who do not possess fourth amendment rights under the constitution, the go

i'm thinking to myself you're the fool who lied to congress, you put an unverified affidavit in front of a fisa judgeiolated the fourth amendment right of an american citizen and you have the nerve to show your face and say republicans are the ones that are a threat to democracy. it is stunning what's going on. >> greg: thanks for inviting me this weekend. >> we had two or three burgers for you. >> greg: i had other plans. pretty social guy. so i don't care what question i ask. >> i think a lot of what you're saying is largely right. i think the setup is the sunny lane that's being occupied by tim scott now and the lane that frankly is not. i think listening to ron desantis, i expect bigger from him in terms of ideas. the thing you're going to defeat leftism, that may be a nice thing to say in a republican county meeting somewhere in florida but the country is faced with real challenges. your point, dana, about criticism on the debt ceiling, it would be different if he said i want to cut this, this, and that, and i think we should raise or lower taxes. he just criticized. >> dana: he should have just

. >> course of several decades, congress and the judicial branch has created a system of ethics, laws, and standards for federal judges. that lay out the clear rules of the road. we are here today because the supreme court of the united states does not consider itself found by these rules. >> supreme court justices are the only judges not bound by the code of conduct. and they impact the lives of hundreds of millions of people. at what point does reverence for the courts economy those of into normalizing contacts of interest and improper outside influence. here to discuss is democratic senator and judiciary committee member, sheldon right house of rhode island. it is so good to see you. >> good to be with you. >> absolutely. you've been very vocal about the need for the ethics reform on the supreme court, including potential legislation from congress. what specifically are you interested in seeing getting done to fix what is clearly a problem on the court? >> it is actually astonishingly simple. the supreme should abide by the exact same code of judicial ethics that all other federal judges do. and should have a proce
