Online Public Relations Thoughts

The Supreme Court is under fire for failing to have ethics standards as other government arms do.   The perception is that judges are taking favors and boodling from wealthy parties and in danger of not being objective in their opinions.  Public trust in the court has declined particularly in light of recent decisions.  The judges of all people should understand appearances and work to avoid putting themselves in compromising positions.  But, it appears they don't.  They are using their roles for self aggrandizement and that should stop.  It is up to the Chief Justice to install and ethics code but he doesn't appear to be interested.  Meanwhile, the court is suffering from a decline in prestige.
