The U.S. Supreme Court is preparing to begin its new nine-month term on Monday with the public focused not only on the big cases due to be decided but also on the ethics standards of the justices themselves.
collegiate admissions policies often used to increase Black and Hispanic student enrollment.
"I'm sure that it is to some degree hanging like an albatross over the heads, certainly, of Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito," John Malcolm, a legal scholar at the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank, said of the ethics issue. ProPublica also has detailed a 2008 flight Alito took on a private jet provided by billionaire hedge fund founder Paul Singer for a luxury fishing trip in Alaska. Alito publicly defended himself, saying he has "no obligation" to recuse in any case connected to Singer.
The lack of formal ethics rules for the justices - on recusals and beyond - fosters lingering questions about their fairness and impartiality, according to some legal experts.
