Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. said he would “respectfully decline” to testify at a Senate hearing focused on the Supreme Court, offering instead a statement signed by all the justices to “reaffirm foundational ethics principles and practices.”
.” Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Richard J. Durbin immediately labeled it insufficient, noting recent revelations about Justice Clarence Thomas that the senator said illustrated the need for more scrutiny.
“Testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee by the Chief Justice of the United States is exceedingly rare, as one might expect in light of separation of powers concerns and the importance of preserving judicial independence,” Roberts wrote. He said chief justices have attended congressional committees only a handful of times in history, often to speak on “mundane” topics.
