Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan announced last Thursday at a judicial conference in Portland that she supports an ethics code for the U.S. Supreme Court, reports Associated Press. Kagan said her opinion was not a response to fellow Justice Samuel Alito’s recent editorial for the Wall Street Journal related to ethics concerns in the court, and there was no consensus yet among the justices on how to proceed. “It’s not a secret for me to say that we have been discussing this issue,” said Kagan. “And it won’t be a surprise to know that the nine of us have a variety of views about this.”
