Lawrence Hurley, NBC News; Justice Kagan elaborates on potential Supreme Court ethics code enforcement
"Justice Elena Kagan on Monday outlined how the Supreme Court's new ethics code could be improved if it had an enforcement mechanism, rejecting claims that the idea she has proposed would be ineffective.
The court, under pressure over claims of ethics violations mostly aimed at conservative justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, issued a new code last year but it was immediately criticized for lacking any way of enforcing it.
Kagan, a member of the court's liberal minority, has called for creating a panel of lower court judges appointed by Chief Justice John Roberts to handle allegations made against the justices."
