Proposed Federal Judiciary Reform Act of 2023 [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-08-13

Here is a proposal for federal judiciary reform.

This Act may be cited as the Federal Judiciary Reform Act.

No person, corporation or other type of organization shall give any thing, service or item, whether tangible or intangible, to a member of the federal judiciary or member of the individual’s family, with a value of more than $25. Such limit shall apply per calendar year. Violation of this section shall be a Class B felony with a fine of up to $500 billion dollars. Accepting of excessive gifts prohibited. After the effective date of this act, no member of the federal judiciary shall accept any gift with a value of more than $25 from any person, corporation or other type of organization. Violation of this provision shall constitute a Class B felony. Conviction shall remove the member of the federal judiciary as having violated the Good Behavior requirement of the Constitution. Failure to recuse. Any member of the federal judiciary who has accepted a gift with a value of more than $25 from a person, corporation or other type of organization, shall recuse themselves from hearing any matter that could affect the person, corporation or organization that gave the gift. Such prohibition includes matters directly affecting the giver, furthering a position publicly taken by the giver, indirectly affecting the tax liability of the giver or increasing the value of the tangible or intangible property of the giver. This section applies to gifts given before or after the date of this act, if the failure to recuse occurs after the date of this act. Failure to recuse shall be a Class B felony and subject the member of the judiciary to removal as having violated the Good Behavior requirement of the Constitution. No member of the judiciary shall hear a case in which a member of his or her immediate family has publicly taken a position or received compensation from any person, corporation or other type of organization that has taken a position on the issue. Hearing such a case shall constitute failure to recuse as described in Section 3, and shall face the same penalty.

I think our people can run on this in 2024.
