Recent reports reveal that Supreme Court justices engaged in secretive discussions regarding potential new ethics rules. According to a leak published by The New York Times, the justices exchanged memos about these rules, which were so confidential that they were kept in envelopes and not stored on email servers. The internal debate highlighted differing opinions among the justices on the enforceability of the proposed rules. This ongoing discussion reflects a broader concern about judicial ethics and accountability within the highest court in the United States.
