Supreme Court Ethics: No Need for Fix

The US Supreme Court has issued a statement on its ethical practices, stating that it will set its own rules and police itself. The statement comes in response to recent criticism of the justices' travel and private business transactions. Critics and ethics experts have called for reform and greater accountability, with some calling for a formal code of conduct. The justices have previously resisted such calls and maintain that they follow ethical rules on travel, gifts, and outside income, and file the same annual financial disclosure reports as other judges.
