Senate Democrats are pursuing legislation this week that would set a binding ethics code for the U.S. Supreme Court following revelations that some conservative justices have failed to disclose luxury trips and real estate transactions - a measure facing an uphill battle thanks to Republican opposition.

    Not…really. It’s the supposed to be the more ethical, upstanding half of Congress, with the popular House of Representatives constituting the deplorable half.

    So, regardless of which side of Congress is referring to, or both sides, it doesn’t matter: their self-enrichment undermines their stance on ethics. It’s not like Manchin, a Senator, also hasn’t benefited from the largesse of billionaires.

            Well you are not correct. Congress is the legislative branch, made up of the House of Representatives (referred to as representatives or congressmen like you said) and the Senate (referred to as senators).

        You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.
