Kate Shaw, Alyssa Murray和Leah Littman认为，最高法院最近通过的道德准则严重不足，未能解决利益冲突和政治捐款等问题。她们认为，该准则实际上是对现有行为的认可，而不是对行为的改进。她们还批评该准则缺乏执行机制，并指出其含糊不清的措辞使法官可以继续从事可能存在利益冲突的行为。她们认为，该准则的通过是公众审查和媒体报道的结果，这本身就是一个重要事件，即使该准则本身存在缺陷。她们呼吁公众继续关注这个问题，并敦促国会采取进一步行动。 她们详细分析了准则中的一些具体条款，指出这些条款如何允许法官参与可能存在利益冲突的活动，例如联邦党人协会的活动和筹款活动。她们还批评了准则中关于法官回避的标准，认为该标准低于下级法院法官的标准。她们认为，该准则对外部影响的规定不如下级法院严格，并且准则中的一些条款似乎为最高法院在堕胎案中的裁决辩护。她们认为，该准则实际上是一个“行为准则”，允许法官继续从事不当行为。她们认为，该准则的通过是公众压力和媒体报道的结果，这表明公众的压力和关注仍然很重要。

After months of public pressure, the Supreme Court has released its newly adopted code of ethics. But it leaves a lot to be desired! Melissa, Kate, and Leah analyze the code and find all the possible loopholes. We also talk to Molly Duane, one of the plaintiffs' lawyers in the Zurawski case out of Texas, where women suffered serious health and emotional consequences after being denied abortions. And then we welcome Ashley Coffield, CEO of Planned Parenthood of Tennessee and North Mississippi, to update us on reproductive justice in the region after abortion bans and an extremist attack on one of their clinics.
