6. Would it matter? Would it be unethical by the courts own standards?

Just asking, because I'm sure there is no ethical barrier to private conversations between a justice and an attorney about to argue before the court.

I'm not saying it's right or even ethical mind you, just saying that under this court, I'm not sure it would be considered a problem.

So it's not so much an accusation ss a question.
