Calls for Supreme Court Code of Ethics

John Pelissero, senior scholar, government ethics, interviewed by Gray Washington News Bureau.

Gray Washington News Bureau discusses the potential need for a code of ethics to be implemented within the Supreme Court. 

"There was a time a few decades ago when 60% of the American people trusted the actions and the integrity of the Supreme Court, today that's about 25% based upon the most recent gala polling." Pelissero states citing reporting on recent "ethical lapses" by the justice as one reason for this drop in trust.
