“Congress must establish an enforceable ethics code with a mechanism for deciding ethics issues,” said Johnson, who has sponsored legislation to address Supreme Court ethics. “It’s important for the court to show it’s not beholden to billionaire benefactors.”

While Supreme Court justices are not strictly required to recuse based on amicus briefs, critics argued that Gorsuch’s longstanding ties to Anschutz and prior recusals in related cases warranted his withdrawal.
