Ethics

This issue of US Supreme Court ethics has been a very high priority for the New York Times lately.  In this latest editorial, the paper looks at Pennsylvania's unusual rule on the judicial ethics of receiving gifts and concludes that it's time for the US Supremes to do things differently.  The paper cites a "growing consensus" that SCOTUS recusals must be handled differently.  Just curious, but do our readers agree that a consensus is growing on that point?

UPDATE: At Mirror of Justice, Marc DeGirolami has a post worth reading.  I share all his concerns, not just about the way the NYT slides from one issue to another and announces its "growing consensus," but also about the dangers of ethics becoming politicized and leading to less respect for the courts.
