Justice Elena Kagan keeps expressing support for an enforceable Supreme Court ethics code. During remarks this week at New York University School of Law, the justice returned to a theme she explored earlier this summer.

Justice Elena Kagan pushed back on Monday against critics of an enforceable code of ethics for the Supreme Court, telling an audience in New York that it would help ensure confidence in an institution that polls show has lost the trust of many Americans.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-IL) directly pressed Chief Justice John Roberts on the need for enforceable ethics reforms during the Supreme Court’s semiannual Judicial Conference on Tuesday.
