Sen. Dick Durbin, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has invited Chief Justice John Roberts to testify at a hearing about Supreme Court ethics.
Chief Justice John Roberts arrives for the State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress at the Capitol, Feb. 7, 2023, in Washington, D.C.Sen. Dick Durbin, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, on Thursday invited Chief Justice John Roberts to testify at a hearing about Supreme Court ethics.
In his letter, Durbin, D-Ill., noted that the last time the Judiciary Committee heard from sitting justices on ethics was in 2011. "Since then, there has been a steady stream of revelations regarding Justices falling short of the ethical standards expected of other federal judges and, indeed, of public servants generally. These problems were already apparent back in 2011, and the Court's decade-long failure to address them has contributed to a crisis of public confidence. The status quo is no longer tenable," Durbin wrote.
