Justice Elena Kagan acknowledged the Senate bill to establish a Supreme Court code of ethics, saying, “we’re not imperial,” and that, like other branches, the Court, too, is subject to checks and balances. She said this topic was being discussed among the justices, with a variety of views, but so far there was no decision internally.
