Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett said it would be a “good idea” for the court to have an ethics code. She’s correct, but her stated support for this bare minimum action reinforces that the court hasn’t taken it. The Donald Trump appointee made these ethically supportive remarks Monday at a law school, following Justice Elena Kagan’s similar comments last month at a law school appearance of her own.
It’s true, as Kagan noted last month, that the justices’ unique role atop the legal pyramid means they wouldn’t want to simply adopt the same code as lower court judges. Recusal, for example, can pose different issues for the nine-member bench than, say, a trial court judge who could more easily be replaced by another judge in the same district. But these issues aren't new, and they’ve only become more pressing with each passing Thomas-related ethics revelation.
