Justice Amy Coney Barrett said she supports creating a code of ethics to govern the conduct of her and other Supreme Court justices.

"I think it would be a good idea for us to do it, particularly so that we can communicate to the public exactly what it is that we're doing — and in a clearer way than perhaps we have been able to do so far," she said during a University of Minnesota Law School event, according to Politico.

Her support for an ethical code of conduct comes as her fellow justices are being questioned by Democrats about private relationships they have with wealthy, conservative donors.

Justice Clarence Thomas has been criticized for his friendship with Republican donor Harlan Crow, from whom he has reportedly "accepted luxury trips virtually every year" for the past two decades.

Justice Samuel Alito did not disclose a reported luxury fishing vacation he accepted from a hedge fund billionaire who had business that would be presented before the court in the future.

The justices weren't required to disclose the trips under the rules in place at the time they happened. However, several critics of the conservative majority have been advocating the justices be held to a stricter, clearer standard, such as the rules that govern lower court justices.

"I will say this," Coney Barrett said. "There is no lack of consensus among the justices — there is unanimity among all nine justices — that we should and do hold ourselves to the highest standards, highest ethical standards possible."

What Coney Barrett pictures for an ethics code is "how best to express what it is that we are already doing."

While the justice assured attendees that each justice supports such a code, she didn't go so far as to throw her favor behind one that Congress imposes. Alito has previously slammed this idea, saying, "No provision in the Constitution gives them the authority to regulate the Supreme Court — period."

However, she didn't have an answer for Law School Dean Robert Stein on the timeline for the justices to come to an agreement on a code.

"I think that's something that I can't really speak for the court about or make any sort of guess," the justice said.
