Letter and NYT op-ed urge SCOTUS to implement recusal procedures

The NYT editorial (with a link to a letter signed by my profs, including lots of PR profs) calls for implementation of a new recusal review process at SCOTUS. (h/t: Otherwise)  It's not clear to me that the court is suffering from a loss of public confidence due to this issue and it seems that creating more processes in which parties and media can assert bias could itself lead to less confidence in the court, particularly if the media and advocacy groups continue to view judicial ethics as just another theater for ordinary partisan politics.
