- NC House Democrats call for changes to protect judicial independence, balance of powers
North Carolina Democratic lawmakers propose constitutional amendments to establish a code of ethics for Supreme Court justices, reform the Judicial Standards Commission, and limit the General Assembly's ability to transfer powers between Council of State members. The amendments aim to address judicial independence concerns, particularly regarding potential conflicts of interest for justices like Phil Berger Jr., linked to legislative actions under his father's leadership.
