More commentary on the Supreme Court's code of conduct - UPDATED

 A few days ago I reported that the US Supreme Court adopted a code of conduct and that it was immediately generally criticized as inadequate.  See here.  I also posted links to the story and many of those critical reviews.

As expected, the criticism kept coming.  Here are a few more links:

UPDATE 11/20/23:  The Supreme Court’s new ‘code’ does nothing to enhance ethics (The Hill)

UPDATE 11/21/23:  Today I saw an article that "defends" the new code.  It is the only article I have seen that describes the code positive terms.  It is called The Supreme Court’s new ethics rules affirm the rule of law and you can find it here.

UPDATE 11/23/23:  The Supreme Court is not necessary (The Hill), which starts saying "The Supreme Court’s new ethics code shows that the Court values its power more than its integrity. The justices don’t even hide it."

UPDATE 11/24/23:  The SCOTUS blog has a comment here.
