, CNN; As Clarence Thomas faces record unpopularity, Americans want an ethics code for the Supreme Court
"But there is no significant partisan gap when it comes to whether there should be a formal ethics code for the high court justices.
A UMass Amherst poll conducted a few months ago (after Thomas’ trips financed by Crow first came to light) asked whether the Supreme Court should have a formal code of ethics like other federal courts.
About 90% of Americans said it should. Only about 10% said it should not...
In fact, north of 80% of every subgroup polled in the UMass survey said that the Supreme Court should have a formal ethics code. This includes 96% of Democrats and 84% of Republicans."
