“A binding code of ethics is pretty standard for judges, and so I guess the question is, ‘Is the Supreme Court any different?’” Jackson said in a “CBS News Sunday Morning” interview with “CBS Evening News” anchor and managing editor Norah O’Donnell.
“I guess I have not seen a persuasive reason as to why the [Supreme] Court is different than the other courts,” she added.
During her interview, Jackson said she is “considering supporting” an enforcement mechanism “as a general matter,” adding, “I’m not going to get into commenting on particular policy proposals, but from my perspective, I don’t have any problem with an enforceable code.”
Jackson’s CBS appearance, her first broadcast interview since she joined the Supreme Court in June 2022, will air in full on Thursday at 8:30 p.m. The interview was done ahead of the release of Jackson’s memoir, “Lovely One,” which will be released Tuesday.
