At today's House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) praised former President Donald J. Trump for allowing Black and Jewish Americans to join his private clubs when that was not the norm.

Matt Gaetz in his house floor speech said:

Mr. Chairman, let me begin by saying that it used to be the case on Palm Beach Island that no blacks or Jews were even allowed to be members or invited as members at the private clubs, and it was actually Donald Trump before he was in politics who made that, I believe, very important change so that we weren't treating people differently based on their immutable traits.

I also want to say something on the subject of this hearing when it comes to Supreme Court ethics and guardrails. I am supportive of bipartisan efforts to have some sort of ethics construct on the court. I don't understand why Congress is subject to ethics rules and the executive is subject to ethics rules, but what about the fact that we could put a black robe on somebody and give them a lifetime appointment all of a sudden when they fail to enact their own ethics rules?

We just let it happen, and to my right-wing friends, it's as if you can buy off Supreme Court justices. The left is definitely going to end up being way better than we are. So I would suggest that in the next Congress when this is more than just a theatrical exercise, we actually work together on opportunities to have strong ethics requirements that enhance the public perception of the Court ideal.
