Conservative Supreme Court justices reject the proposal of adopting a code of ethics, stating that it would be weaponized against them. However, public pressure for ethical obligations continues.
Before welcoming four Supreme Court justices to its glittery national convention gala in Washington, D.C., last week, the conservative legal incubator the Federalist Society held a panel discussion about whether the justices should adopt a code of ethics . The response was a resounding, “No.
” Any such code would just be “weaponized” against the justices on the right, said Jay Mitchell, an associate justice on the Alabama Supreme Court who has sent three clerks to work for Justice Clarence Thomas. Conservative cover was not going to be enough to offset mounting criticism of the court and public pressure to bind the high court to the same kinds of ethical obligations that lower court judges follow. The document issued by the Supreme Court on Monday, both historic and underwhelming, imposes those kinds of restraints
