Richard W. Painter joined Robert to discuss the U.S. Supreme Court's new code of conduct, which outlines how the justices "should" conduct themselves.
Richard served as chief ethics lawyer to President George W. Bush and as Associate Counsel in the White House Counsel’s Office during the Bush administration. He has testified many times before Congress on issues related to ethics in government. His forthcoming article SCOTUS House: Can a Supreme Court Ethics Lawyer and Inspector General Help Get this Fraternity under Control examines recent ethics scandals at the high court and outlines how a supreme court inspector general and congress can assure the justices uphold their duty to be faithful to the law. Richard teaches at the University of Minnesota Law School.
