"The undersigned Justices are promulgating this Code
of Conduct to set out succinctly and gather in one place the
ethics rules and principles that guide the conduct of the
Members of the Court. For the most part these rules and
principles are not new: The Court has long had the
equivalent of common law ethics rules, that is, a body of rules
derived from a variety of sources, including statutory
provisions, the code that applies to other members of the
federal judiciary, ethics advisory opinions issued by the
Judicial Conference Committee on Codes of Conduct, and
historic practice. The absence of a Code, however, has led
in recent years to the misunderstanding that the Justices of
this Court, unlike all other jurists in this country, regard
themselves as unrestricted by any ethics rules. To dispel
this misunderstanding, we are issuing this Code, which
largely represents a codification of principles that we have
long regarded as governing our conduct.
