This week’s bonus issue of “One First” (for paid subscribers) walks through ’s evolving hostility to private enforcement of federal rights—and how, even if the Court eventually holds that the VRA *can* be privately enforced, it’s responsible for that even being a question.

Today's 'One First' looks at the pensions of justices—and how, from 1869–1937, Congress used its power to regulate post-service pay as a lever to nudge justices to leave (or stay on) the Court, before creating the present system of constitutionally protected retirement:

In today’s bonus issue of “One First” (for paid subscribers), I look more closely at the new “Code of Conduct,” and how could’ve done a lot more to engender public trust if it took *any* responsibility for the circumstances that made the Code necessary in the first place.

This is important context from Chris. Even if the new “Code of Conduct” is substantively and procedurally insufficient, it’s a remarkable reflection of how public pressure (and journalism) *does* influence the Court that the justices felt the need to take even this (modest) step.
