For Immediate Release:

Pica Adopts Ethics Code

"Pica has always been very ethical and an excellent cat as many people agree, and yet the absence of a Code, has led in recent years to the (preposterous) misunderstanding that Pica The Cat, unlike all other cats, regards herself as unrestricted by any ethics rules. So, to dispel this misconception #Pica wants everyone to know she now has a code. She will enforce it herself, being best positioned judge any unlikely (lol impossible) lapses."

The Supreme Court on Monday adopted its first code of ethics, in the face of sustained criticism over undisclosed trips and gifts from wealthy benefactors to some justices, but the code lacks a means of enforcement. The policy, agreed to by all nine justices, does not appear to impose any significant new requirements and leaves compliance entirely to each justice. Indeed, the justices said they have long adhered to ethics standards and suggested that criticism of the court over ethics was the product of misunderstanding, rather than any missteps by the justices.

Justice Kagan supports ethics code but says Supreme Court divided on how to proceed

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan says she supports an ethics code for the court but that there wasn't consensus among the justices on

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Justice Elena Kagan publicly declared her support for an ethics code for the U.S. Supreme Court but said there was no consensus among the justices on how to proceed, suggesting the high court is grappling with public concerns over its ethics practices.

“It’s not a secret for me to say that we have been discussing this issue. And it won’t be a surprise to know that the nine of us have a variety of views about this,” she said Thursday at a judicial conference in Portland, Oregon.

The Supreme Court is navigating a fraught moment in its history. It has come under growing scrutiny for its lack of an official code of conduct, and public trust in the body is at a 50-year low following a series of polarized rulings, including the overturning of Roe v. Wade and federal abortion protections last year.
