    Writing down ethical standards mean he can no longer make those claims.

    Okay, sure. But then he just makes a new set of bullshit claims, and nobody exists in a position to call him on it.

    You’re right that he still might not be held accountable, but it is a step in the right direction

    If it was a step we were taking, I won’t object. Part of the problem with this bullshit is that reforms are almost always DOA, outside of hypothetical debates. But if I’m starting from a blank slate and told “Fix the SCOTUS”, I’d dream a bit bigger than a rule with no teeth.
