SCOTUS isn't supposed to have a "Code of Ethics", save for one, single item: Fidelity to the United States Constitution.
A separate Code of Ethics would create broad areas where the Court may act contrary to the governmental limits and individual rights they are sworn to uphold.
Which is exactly why San Fran Nan wants one so badly.
How about enacting a code of ethics for the House of Representatives.
