Bill overview
This resolution urges the Supreme Court Justices to either adhere to the existing ethics guidelines for federal judges, as outlined in the Code of Conduct, or to create their own independent code of conduct. Currently, Justices are not bound by such guidelines, leading to concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the appearance of impartiality. The resolution highlights the importance of judicial integrity and emphasizes the need for clear ethical standards within the Supreme Court.
