President Biden should have a press conference

on the supreme Court addressing gifts and ethics. He should simply state that as part of the job one should not accept gifts and travel from anyone. He should simply state that as soon as you accept the position of an associate justice that you have to divorce yourself from politics and association with political organizations. Furthermore, he should emphasize that no one should need to be told that and as a person with a lifetime appointment one has to abide by these rules. Finally he should say "We are not 5 years old where we ask our parents if this is okay"
