Justice Kagan Advocates for External Enforcement of Supreme Court Ethics Code

Kagan suggests a panel of lower court judges could effectively oversee justices' compliance and restore public confidence.

Justice Elena Kagan calls for a panel of lower court judges to enforce Supreme Court's ethics code.
Kagan believes the panel would ensure justices comply with the code and maintain public trust.
Critics argue the mechanism could lead to unfounded claims or be too lenient on justices.
Kagan counters that existing unaddressed accusations show a need for structured oversight.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson also supports the idea of an enforceable ethics code.
