I keep misreading this as 'The Scrotum Chronicles' and then realize I'm still not technically wrong.

Does it seems strange to anyone else that they got to write their own ethics code?

I notice, and find it interesting, that they use 'should' and not 'shall'.

Q: What’s the difference between a US Supreme Court justice and a prostitute?

A: There are some things a prostitute WON’T do for money.

Good news: The SCOTUS has apparently adopted an official Code of Ethics.

Bad news: There's no outside enforcement of this Code, and it's apparently a codification of principles that they've long held for governing their conduct, and we all know how well that's been going so far.

So, evidently, the only thing that's changed is that the next scandal the SCOTUS gets into, the critics can point to actual ethical guidelines they're supposed to follow, but still have little reason to believe they'll actually do anything about it.

It's almost as if the judiciary is hopelessly corrupt.
