I Make The Rules

Here's an excerpt from the Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges:

“a judge should not personally participate in fund-raising activities, solicit funds for any organization, or use or permit the use of the prestige of judicial office for that purpose. A judge should not personally participate in membership solicitation if the solicitation might reasonably be perceived as coercive or is essentially a fund-raising mechanism.”

Apparently this clause does not apply to the Justices of the Supreme Court. Alito, Scalia, Thomas and who knows who else have helped raise money for causes they support.

Just to make sure they are like Caesar's wife, the Justices have exempted themselves from this and other clauses concerning ethical standards.
