She believes that such a code would allow the court to effectively communicate its actions to the public in \u200ca clearer and more transparent manner.<\/p>\n<p>This endorsement comes \u200bat a time when other justices are \u2062facing scrutiny from Democrats regarding their private relationships with wealthy conservative donors.

She envisions an ethics code that accurately reflects the current practices\u200d of the court. However, she did not explicitly endorse a code imposed by Congress, as Justice Alito\u2062 has previously voiced his opposition to \u2062such an idea.<\/p>\n<p>Although Justice \u2063Coney Barrett assured attendees that each justice supports the idea of an ethics code, she \u2062could not provide a timeline for when an agreement might be reached.
