By Robert Barnes Robert Barnes Reporter covering the U.S. Supreme Court Email Bio Follow March 7 at 6:39 PM Despite public support for televising Supreme Court hearings, the ban will remain for the foreseeable future and the issue isn’t much of a topic of conversation among the justices, two of them told a House appropriations subcommittee Thursday.
At the hearing called to review the court’s budget request, Alito said much of its proposed increase would be spent on physical and cyber security. Although he was not specific, Alito said there were a “startling” number of attempts in the past year to hack into the court’s computer system. Kagan said that when she observed the court as President Barack Obama’s solicitor general she thought it would be good for the public to see what she saw.
If seeing the court at work “came at the expense of the way the institution functioned, that would be a very bad bargain,” she said. Instead, he said, showing the court at work “would do wonders to correct the American people’s often biased perception of our nation’s top court.” But she indicated the court is aware of the perception that it does not play by the rules set for others.
Question: why isn't there a comparable 'Code of Ethics' for the Executive and Legislative branches a la The Judicial Code of Ethics? (cricket, cricket)
they are not doing any television hearings. And no justice has said any thing about ethics

Supreme Court likely to shut down Trump's national emergency declaration, Rand Paul predicts'In fact, I think the president’s own picks to the Supreme Court may rebuke him on this,' the Republican senator said. And then liberals will praise the conservative supreme court majority....lol. Let it run its course. Let SCOTUS decide. Today we have several national emergencies that have taken many lives. Americans are taught to prioritize, plan and prepare for such seen and unforeseen tragedy. A border wall does not exhibit an emergency mgt. tool that would prevent imminent loss of life, goods, nor recovery.

Supreme Court Considers Implementing Code of Conduct for JusticesChief Justice John Roberts is weighing whether to create a code of conduct for members of the Supreme Court, Justice Elena Kagan told lawmakers. BS, he's exploring? Code of judicial conduct for the SCOTUS can be the same one that all other Federal judges employ. Not hard. They just like being above reproach. High time, too! IMHO!!! He must see Kavanaugh as we do, eh? Biased, belligerent, bawling, beer-bragging Brett Kavanaugh violated all codes of conduct before he even started. No one can ever believe Biased Brett is decent Justice material.
