But Supreme Court justices aren't required to commit to such disclosures since that would represent a violation of the independence of the judicial branch.

The one and only available response to a justice misbehaving is individual impeachment.

Otherwise the other branches could exert all sorts of pressure on the Court by law or threat of sanction.

Congress does have a constitutional role in lower courts, but the independence of the Supreme Court is core to the system of checks and balances.
