Justice Barrett Calls for Supreme Court to Adopt an Ethics Code
New York TimesMAY 2023
There's no reason to celebrate the Supreme Court's self-imposed code of ethics. A lack of an enforcement mechanism — leaving judges to decide whether they have violated their own rules –—means that, in reality, nothing has changed. Language by the justices accusing America of "misunderstanding" what many view as clear cases of public corruption portrays arrogance, and pressure must continue to be applied in order for real reform to occur.
SCOTUS reforms will never be able to go far enough to appease the left, which has launched a sustained campaign to undermine the court's every move and diminish its power. In an effort to delegitimize the nation's highest court, Democrats and their media allies have been trying to gin up controversy about conservative justices who dare to rule against their woke social agenda. Caving to their outlandish demands will only further incentivize them.
