Indeed, and the SCOTUS "ethics" letter conveniently ignores how Justice Thomas blatantly violated the very principles they state. There's a freaking painting of him receiving gifts (the free travel and lodging) to speak with groups that regularly come before the Court!

“The problem is there’s no accountability for violating the law. And there’s nothing in this statement that suggests the court even understands what the problem is.”

Supreme Court's new ethics declaration stops short of concrete action

It’s rare for the justices to comment publicly on ethics issues. This week’s joint statement largely echoes what they’ve said before.

It has all been grotesquely abused and beaten to a pulp. We need to stop trying to put the juice back in the squeezed orange. Drink it and break the glass and look toward a future with a palatable fruit. Federalist SCOTUS does not care.
