We both know that had these justices been named Breyer, Sotomayor, or Brown-Jackson, the Republican in Congress would be having a shitfit and lining up to vote for a code of conduct.
...and here is maybe the answer you were looking for earlier:
No need to elect SCOTUS judges, or to appoint a "supervisor". The cause is corruption (of the judges) and the root cause is the Rep parts does not care anymore. It has become completely dysfunctional. Correct me if i am wrong: But with support of the Rep party, some judges could be impeached. Its the same for the position of the president and stuff like immunity. As long as the Rep party is so fundamentally dishonest (oh, yea, Trump is immune, not so much for a Dem president, right?) and keeps its power, there is nothing you can do to stop the corruption of your political landscape.
You have a two party system, one party is completely corrupted and ca. 40% (your mileage may vary) of the electo supports this (for various reasons). You have a very profound and fundamental problem in your society, and unfortunately, just like Coca Cola in the 50s, its overflowing to here as can be seen by the AfD soon to be able to block various state parliaments and probably the Bundestag after the next election.
Surrender has never been my cup of tea.
