A Peek at the Supreme Court’s New Code of Ethics

The bar really isn’t that high.

The Supreme Court has been under fire recently for perceived lapses in ethical judgement. Recent events have reduced confidence in the institution to an all-time low. In an effort to restore sagging confidence, the Court, for the first time in history, put together a code of ethics.

So, here is a quick overview of the new code.

1: Judges robes should at the very least extend to the knees.

This should eliminate judges becoming objects lust. Among everyday citizens and each other for that matter.

2: Any party that comes before the court will be treated impartially.

So, everyone starts out with equal footing. If a party decides to do something to create an advantage with the Court, they shall have the same opportunity to do so as the opposing party.

3: Each member of the court shall act independently.

When looking to buy a justice, justices shall not be viewed as a voting bloc, but instead as independent contractors.

4: Justices shall remember where they come from.
