The U.S. Supreme Court has adopted its first-ever code of ethics, a move that critics claim is a bigger deal than initially perceived. The move comes under pressure from Hill Democrats and in response to sustained criticism over undisclosed trips and gifts from wealthy benefactors to some justices. The code, which was described as an urgent need by Bob Bauer in 2022, aims to dispel misunderstandings about the justices' adherence to ethics rules. However, the code lacks any enforcement mechanism, leaving individual justices to decide ethics questions for themselves. This decision follows a year of controversies and outside pressure regarding the ethical standards applying to the justices.
