WASHINGTON—House Democrats are proposing a $50 limit for the value of gifts that Supreme Court justices are allowed to accept, as part of a broader effort to address what they call an ethics crisis on the nation’s highest court.

House Oversight Committee Ranking Democratic Member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) and Vice Ranking Democratic Member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) discussed the idea during a Democratic roundtable on June 11.
