Justice Jackson says people "are entitled to know" what gifts judges accept

• A Gallup poll from July showed that just 43% of Americans approve of how the Supreme Court is doing its job.
• 66% of Republicans supported the court's work this previous term, 44% of Independents and 15% of Democrats said the same.

What they're saying: "It really boils down to impartiality," Jackson said in "CBS Sunday Morning" interview which aired Sunday. "That's what the rules are about. People are entitled to know if you are accepting gifts as a judge so that they can evaluate whether or not your opinions are impartial."

• Jackson declined to comment when asked about gifts given to Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.
• Asked about her own personal code of ethics, Jackson said she follows the rules "whatever they are, with respect to ethical obligations. And it's important, in my view, to do so."

Zoom out: Jackson, the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court, said she's considering supporting an ethics code for the justices "as a general matter."

• President Biden proposed a series of reforms for the court in July, including enforcing term limits and establishing an ethics code requiring Supreme Court justices to disclose any gifts or refrain from political activity.
• "A binding code of ethics is pretty standard for judges. And so I guess the question is, is the Supreme Court any different? And I guess I have not seen a persuasive reason as to why the court is different than the other courts," Jackson said.
• Jackson declined to comment on "particular policy proposals," but said she doesn't "have any problem with an enforceable code."
