Justice Elena Kagan on Thursday defended the code of conduct the Supreme Court created last year, but conceded there needs to be a way to enforce the rules for it to be more effective.
“I think that the rules that we put out are good ones,” Kagan said at a judicial conference in Sacramento. “I think that the thing that can be criticized is, you know, rules usually have enforcement mechanisms attached to them. And this one, this set of rules does not.”
...
Kagan’s criticism of the court on Thursday was not limited to its new code of conduct. She also expressed frustration with the large number of concurrences her colleagues have been issuing in cases, which she described as “not a good thing for the court.”
...
Kagan also made clear that she was growing impatient with the increased use of the court’s emergency docket, in which the court can issue unsigned and unexplained orders that allow the justices to act on a case while also shielding the legal analysis behind the decision and the vote count.

How about you start interpreting the law instead of taking orders on how you’re going to rule.
Careful what you wish for, Alana, for you shall surely get it.
Why are concurrences bad?
If she doesn’t like it, she can quit.
Uh, we’re not exactly talkin’ the bright star of the S Court.
More like a burnt out asteroid.
Sorta like CNN’s status in the media world.
Read what she says. Her concern is that there are recently too many and they muddy up decisions, which will have negative consequences in the future. Makes sense.
““not a good thing for the court.””
Whatta bout rulings being good for the Country?
Yes, she’s unhappy with rulings. Sounds like she’s not totally rejecting Chevron, just concern with abrupt impact. Now sure how they’d do anything less.
they didn’t care one whit about this with RBG was smoozing with liberals all the time
Honestly, I didn’t know she could think on her own.
Sure she wrote this?
All government elected and hired or appointed should meet the same standards. From the executive, the two houses, judixary, and all departments and agencies.
Yeah, they are a bit selective about what concerns them. I cannot see how they establish oversight since they are top of the food chain. It seems like anything would require a constitutional amendment.
yep, all this talk is just bs, since they themselves will get to decide if any limits are constitutional, which they wont.
They will continue to police themselves. Liberal is just mad that she doesn’t get to decide to exclude conservatives from any case she wants.
.
Kagan knows there’s no enforcement for Dems in the DC Swamp.
Write all the rules you want, they won’t apply to her. Simple
Look at Classified Docs and Joe Biden, Comey, and Pence.
she can quit after Trump is elected ;)
Who knows? Next we may even put in place a test on her ability to read. . . . And heaven above, we may even require Justices to demonstrate their ability to LOGICALLY express what she actually read.
Someone who can't express what the WORDS say over 90% needs to resign. Reminds me of bad cops.
I do think they should be under the rule no more than a ten dollar gift can be accepted. If they get a physical gift that is more than ten dollars, they have to donate it to the US government. It’s ridiculous for them to accept trips, prizes and other Bennie’s. They make more than enough money for the work they do.
