Members of Congress shouldn’t own stock, neither should Supreme Court Justices. It’s effectively a life appointment, they are well compensated, and there’s obvious conflicts of interest. Money and justice don’t mix well.
The harder solution is maybe we shouldn’t have 9 people appointed by the most powerful person in the country for life have that much power. It’s not very democratic.

And maybe gvt bonds.
Or any politician…
Yes. That’s the easier solution.
