Some congressional Democrats have proposed imposing new ethics standards on the Supreme Court following reporting on conduct by some of the justices, in particular Thomas.
Supreme Court justices are not bound like other federal judges by a code of conduct that includes avoidance even of the "appearance of impropriety."
The three conservative justices appointed by former President Donald Trump drew additional income as law professors.
