The American Bar Association's House of Delegates approved a resolution urging the Supreme Court to adopt a binding code of ethics.
justices have dodged questions related to conflicts of interest by saying essentially "Trust us" or "We're different." They've refused to be bound by an official ethics code and grievance procedures that cover other federal judges.that internal discussions, which date back at least to 2019, have been revived. The timing of any public resolution is uncertain, however, and it appears some justices have been more hopeful than others about reaching consensus.
Together, the substance of cases and refusal to address ethics issues evoke an unaccountable court that will rule as it wishes and act as it wants, without regard for public concern. The justices rarely address recusal, that is, why they decide to sit out a case or are hearing one that critics say could pose a conflict. Their disclosure filings include limited information about their finances, those of their spouses and various reimbursements for travel.
"It's hard for a lot of people to understand why Roe could be overturned simply because the composition of the court changed," he said. "Why now, after nearly 49 years of Republicans and Democrats supporting Roe?"Yet Gillers said the justices' off-bench behavior and their enduring lack of a formal code of ethics are rightfully being scrutinized and affect the court's stature.
US appeals court Judge Timothy Tymkovich, who wrote the judicial council's dismissal of those complaints, referred to the 1980 judicial conduct law that excludes the nine justices.
