In May, Chief Justice Roberts announced that, "I am committed to making certain that we as a court adhere to the highest standards of conduct...I am confident there are ways to do that...."

So, how's it going?

As of last Thursday, Justice Kavanaugh stated, "We are continuing to work on those issues..."

How hard is it to apply the same ethical standards to Supreme Court justices as apply to every other federal judge? Which justices are holding up reform?

Though and aren't mentioned in this very informative piece, their fingerprints are all over the High Court. Chief Justice is just a passenger. It hasn't been his court since screwed it up royally with three radical right appointments. slate.com/news-and-politics/20

Back in May, Chief Justice Roberts announced that, "I am committed to making certain that we as a court adhere to highest standards of conduct...I am confident there are ways to do that...."

I wonder if he's made any progress, and will his standards include spouses of justices?

Supreme Court struggling to agree on ethics policy, Justice Kagan says
