U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. is considering whether to create an ethics code for Supreme Court justices, Justice Elena Kagan told a congressional committee this week. The ABA Journal reports Kagan made her statements during an appearance with Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. before a House appropriations subcommittee that is reviewing the Supreme Court’s budget. Kagan made the disclosure in response to questioning about judicial accountability in the #MeToo era. Kagan and Alito also fielded questions about televising oral arguments. Both said they were against the idea.
