A proposal by outside interest groups for the Supreme Court to adopt a new 'model' ethics code could thrust Justice Clarence Thomas and his spouse, Ginni, further into the political limelight.
A proposal by outside interest groups for the Supreme Court to adopt a new"model" ethics code could thrust Justice Clarence Thomas and his spouse, Ginni, further into the political limelight.
The 27-page "Model Code of Conduct for U.S. Supreme Court Justices," published March 9, mentions the word"spouse" a total of 14 times and highlights on page five that"certain conduct by a spouse or other close family members of a Justice would require that Justice to recuse," according to a copy reviewed by the Washington Examiner.
"Spouses are mentioned 12 times in the current code for the lower court judges," Fix the Court founder Gabe Roth told the Washington Examiner while highlighting limitations of ensuring the justices and their families follow such a code. The newly proposed guidelines coincide with recent reports that the high court has been struggling for years to determine a novel code of conduct for the current and future nine-member bench to abide by.
