Justice Barrett expresses support for Supreme Court ethics code amid scrutiny
- Justice Amy Coney Barrett stated a code of conduct for the Supreme Court would be a "good idea" to communicate ethical standards.
- Barrett acknowledged unanimous agreement among justices to hold themselves to high ethical standards but did not comment on timeline.
- Pressure for reform has grown after reports of justices failing to disclose gifts, trips, and other potential conflicts of interest.
- Other justices including Elena Kagan, Brett Kavanaugh, and John Roberts have also voiced support for establishing formal ethics rules.
- Protesters interrupted Barrett's University of Minnesota lecture over her vote to overturn Roe v. Wade and called for her removal.
