I'm not expecting much but next week the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on a bill for Supreme Court code of conduct covering financial disclosure and recusal requirements. Even if they put it on the books how will it be enforced?

Now impeachment is easy if one party agrees and conviction is almost impossible. Seems like new rules have the same problem even with a lesser penalty, maybe something like censure.

The recusal part seems particularly appealing, and the threat of punishment could induce more recusals. But the whole thing seems unworkable. The financial part is dicey because everyone with positions of power is likely to abuse financial ethics and congress has to figure that tightening the rules on SCOTUS will eventually shine the same light back on them. Also, financial ethics are like income tax strategies employed by the wealthy; there's ways to get around the rules.

id like to see enforcement come from inside the court system... maybe even have a committee for ethics specifically formed by the courts to oversee all federal court ethical situations... could be used for consultation as well as mediation and adjudication :smile: and until it gets to be an out of control mess you could have retired judges handle it.
