If Supreme Court won't act to reform its ethics, Congress should step in; Chicago Sun Times, June 7, 2024

CST Editorial Board, Chicago Sun Times; If Supreme Court won't act to reform its ethics, Congress should step in

"When the U.S. Supreme Court justices in November announced new ethics rules that had no teeth, they said it would “dispel” the “misunderstanding” the justices “regard themselves as unrestricted by any ethics rules.”

Well, that didn’t work. It’s time for Congress to step in as new revelations about questionable ethics keep popping up...

At a time when the nation is polarized, we need a court that is an honest arbiter of disputes. Without an enforceable ethics code, we can’t hope to get one."
