This post on the Constitutional Law Prof Blog raises the question: “Is it legal for a Justice of the United States Supreme Court to attend political fundraisers?” I suppose a more accurate question is whether it is ethical for a Justice to not only attend such a fundraiser, but to speak at it as a keynote speaker. More here. The con law blog cites the relevant judicial canon, which at first blush appears to apply to speaking at a fundraiser for the American Spectator magazine. But perhaps I’m missing something, such as ethics opinions construing the canon.
