Supreme Court Ethics Scandals Continue to Plague Justices

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett's real estate deal with the Religious Liberty Initiative (RLI) at Notre Dame Law School months after her confirmation in 2020 has raised concerns about ethics reforms at the high court. RLI, which advocates for religious freedom, has filed at least nine briefs with the court since the sale of Barrett's home. The Supreme Court justices are not required to abide by an ethics code, as other federal judges are, leading to demands for accountability and reform.
