Target lemma: justice

Context:
The dinner was held at a Washington hotel hours after the court's conference over the case. In attendance was, among others, Mitch McConnell, the Senate's top Republican and an avowed opponent of the healthcare law. The featured guests at the dinner? Scalia and Thomas. It's nothing new: The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years. And it's nothing that runs afoul of ethics rules. In fact, <t>justices</t> are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices. If they were, they arguably fell under code's Canon 4C, which states, "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event."

    *   Context: "...justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs the <t>actions</t> of lower federal justices."
    *   Key phrase: "Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices."

    *   Sense 1: `something done (usually as opposed to something said)` (General behavior/acts)
    *   Sense 2: `the state of being active` (Activity)
    *   Sense 3: `a military engagement` (Combat)
    *   Sense 4: `a process existing in or produced by nature` (Natural process)
    *   Sense 5: `the series of events that form a plot` (Story plot)

    *   Sense 10: `the most important or interesting work or activity in a specific area or field` (The "action" or "excitement")

    *   The context refers to a "Code of Conduct."
    *   A Code of Conduct governs how people behave—their deeds, their conduct, their actions.
    *   It's not referring to a specific lawsuit (Sense 8).
    *   It's not referring to a military engagement (Sense 3).
    *   It's not referring to a government body's official act in the sense of a policy or law (Sense 9), but rather the personal behavior/conduct of the individual judges.
    *   Sense 1 ("something done") fits best as it describes the general behavior or acts of the individuals.

    *   Sense 1: "something done (usually as opposed to something said)" - This is the standard meaning of "actions" in "Code of Conduct governs the actions of...".
    *   Sense 8: "a judicial proceeding" - The Code of Conduct doesn't govern the *lawsuits* of the judges, but the *behavior* of the judges.
    *   Sense 9: "an act by a government body" - While judges are part of a government body, a Code of Conduct governs their individual professional behavior (actions), not the official "actions" (like legislation or executive orders) of the court as a body.

    *   The phrase "governs the actions of [people]" almost always refers to their behavior/conduct. Sense 1 is the most appropriate general sense for "things done."

In attendance was, among others, Mitch McConnell, the Senate's top Republican and an avowed opponent of the healthcare law. The featured guests at the dinner? Scalia and Thomas. It's nothing new: The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years. And it's nothing that runs afoul of ethics rules. In fact, justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices. If they were, they arguably fell under code's Canon 4C, which states, "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the <t>judge</t> may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event." Nevertheless, the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists.

Target lemma: interest

Context:
The featured guests at the dinner? Scalia and Thomas. It's nothing new: The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years. And it's nothing that runs afoul of ethics rules. In fact, justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices. If they were, they arguably fell under code's Canon 4C, which states, "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event." Nevertheless, the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial <t>interest</t>, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists. "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges," said Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause.

*   Target word: "indifference"
    *   Context: "...This stunning breach of ethics and <t>indifference</t> to the code belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges..."
    *   Meaning in context: The speaker (Bob Edgar) is accusing the justices of not caring about or ignoring the code of ethics. It's a lack of concern or disregard for the rules.

    *   Sense 1: `indifference%1:12:00::` | definition=unbiased impartial unconcern (This is the "neutrality" sense, like an impartial judge. Not applicable here).

    *   The context describes a "breach of ethics" and "indifference to the code."
    *   This implies a disregard or lack of concern for the rules.
    *   Sense 4 ("casual lack of concern") aligns perfectly with this usage. Sense 3 is too general ("things generally"), and Senses 1 and 2 are completely different meanings.

    *   The context refers to the Supreme Court (implied by "justices" and "federal judges").
    *   It refers to the institution/body that administers justice and is subject to rules.
    *   Sense 1: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business".
    *   Sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws".

    *   Sense 1 (assembly) vs. Sense 8 (tribunal/lawcourt).
    *   In the phrase "the court abides by the same rules", "court" refers to the judicial body/institution.
    *   In the phrase "pending cases before the court", "court" refers to the judicial body/institution.
    *   Sense 8 ("a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws") is a more standard definition for the institution of a court of law.
    *   Sense 1 ("an assembly... to conduct judicial business") is very similar, but "tribunal" and "lawcourt" (Sense 8) are more precise for the entity that "abides by rules" and has "cases before" it.

    *   Sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws" (synonyms: lawcourt, court of law, court of justice).
    *   This fits perfectly with the context of federal judges and legal cases.

    *   Sense 1: assembly (more about the meeting/gathering).
    *   Sense 8: tribunal (the institution/entity).
    *   The context "the court abides by the same rules" suggests the institution.

    *   Sense 8 is the most accurate description of a court of law as an institution.
