, Slate; Why Won’t John Roberts Accept an Ethics Code for Supreme Court Justices?
"Supreme Court justices also face ethics questions. Is it permissible for justices to provide anonymous leaks to the press about their private conferences? May they criticize political candidates, speak at meetings of partisan legal organizations, or raise funds for charities? May they vacation with litigants in the middle of a pending case or comment on legal issues or proceedings in lower courts? May clerks and court staff be assigned
to work on the justices’ private books and memoirs? These are not
hypotheticals. At least one justice has engaged in each of these
activities in past years, and there is no definitive code of conduct
that prohibits them."
