STONECREST, GA — On Friday evening, Congressman Hank Johnson (GA-04) recognized and honored four small businesses in each of the counties he represents for their contributions to the community and their positive impact on the lives of his constituents. Holding his inaugural Fourth Congressional District 2022 Small Business Pinnacle Awards, Congressman Johnson held a brief ceremony for his awardees at Ours Studios in South DeKalb.
The Times report led to a flurry of letters between the Supreme Court, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) on the court’s failure to adopt and abide by a binding ethics code, and a push from progressive groups for Congress to hold hearings on the subject.
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), who have long pushed for ethics reform at the Supreme Court, have sent multiple letters to Roberts seeking information about “Operation Higher Court” and about any court investigations that may have been opened into attempts to improperly influence justices.
"The court either cannot, or will not, do what is in its own best interest," Rep. Hank Johnson of Georgia, who's leading a bill that would establish an enforceable code of conduct for the justices, said during a House Judiciary Committee hearing. "Therefore, Congress must step in."
“The government has a responsibility to protect the American people’s liberties, rights, and freedoms, and this includes ensuring their marriages will always be recognized,” Rep. Hank Johnson (GA-4) said in a statement.
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), another member of the Black caucus, acknowledged the gambit was a long shot, but argued the high stakes justified the effort. The House will revert to Republican control in January, likely putting any voting rights push on ice for at least two years.
“This is our last opportunity to do something. So, the thinking is that we’ll take it as far as we can to try to get it passed,” Johnson said.
