There are ethical rules for lawyers and ethical rules for judges, separately, at least in my state (and they are state rules; I don't know about SCOTUS except that it doesn't have any; I assume federal courts beneath SCOTUS do have them but I don't know if they follow state rules or have separate ones. In any case, it seems the days of self-regulation should come to a close for all with authority over us.
