The Supreme Court on Monday adopted an ethics code following a slew of bombshell discoveries about lavish gifts, real estate deals, and other allegations of ethics violations.
The 14-page document detailed rules that are not technically new; however, a statement shared by the nine justices said that “the absence of a code has led in recent years to the misunderstanding that the justices of this court, unlike all other jurists in this country, regard themselves as unrestricted by any ethics rules."
