Supreme Court justices are the only federal judges who are exempt from the Code of Conduct
The U.S. Supreme Court is in the spotlight following its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and to allow the concealed carrying of a firearm in New York. Those rulings are happening at a time when more experts are calling for reforms to the nation's highest court.
"The Supreme Court is in drastic need of reform," said Ryan D. Doerfler, professor of law at the University of Chicago. "In its current form, it is an incredibly destructive, anti-democratic institution."
The U.S. House Judiciary committee recently advanced a bill that would issue an ethics code for justices of the Supreme Court.
Currently, Supreme Court justices are the only federal judges who are exempt from the Code of Conduct, which is designed to maintain the integrity and independence of the judicial branch of government.
