It would be better in my opinion to just increase the number of justices. Nine is way too few. Most other countries have much more judges at that level. I think 13 maybe 21 would be nice round numbers. The more judges the harder it is to pack with crazies.
And yeah, an enforceable code of ethics is why the constitution says, "The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour" It assigns Congress that responsibilities of determining good behavior.
It certainly isn't good behavior to take bribes and meet with enemies of the United States and foreign brutal dictators.
There is NOTHING in the Constitution about lifetime appointments. That was made up.
