had previously reported on Schenck’s “Operation Higher Court.” The Times’s smarmy details about the operatives’ astonishing access to the justices, even as these same operatives were making six-figure donations to the Supreme Court Historical Society, were chilling. “Lunch with CT on Monday, Sam on Wednesday, dinner at court on Monday, Dinner with Maureen on Wednesday,” Wright wrote in a 2016 email, apparently referring to Thomas, Alito, and Justice Antonin Scalia’s widow, Maureen.
Justices get to have social lives. But they also need to be mindful about their behavior, on and off the bench, and the signals they’re sending, especially when they accept travel and entertainment from those with an interest in the court’s work. Some disclosure is already required, but it’sOne obvious step is to follow the ethics rules that apply to other federal judges, perhaps adapting them to the particular needs of the high court.
Roberts has had a rough 2022. Tackling his court’s ethics problem would be a smart way to finish a bad year on a good note.
Doubt it. Hope I’m wrong.
Is John Roberts willing to fix it? Sounds like he prefers to sit on his hands.
Everyone who is not supporting your liberal ideologies is in ethic crisis.. the world is living on planet earth not some far distance land ..
No he can’t. He is as corrupt as the other conservative justices.
It’s anti-ethical to predominately kill black babies via abortion. Journalists are not intellectually honest.
Don’t think so
Food grief. Just like congress.
Pot calling the kettle black.
John Roberts is part of the problem.
Nope
leakEpsteinsclientlist
NO and don't claim that one person's ethics can 'fix' another's. Entire problem in the U.S. this minute! Being told how to act how to feel who to like, what eat when to put up a parking lot esp. By the almighty federal government right now.
Roberts legacy is trashed. The court gets no respect. They've earned it.
AlanDersh Jim_Jordan SenateGOP LouDobbs Roberts scare of Democrats.Cowboy Bush appointed wrong one for the highest court. John Roberts saw what happened to Judge Kavannagh, he lost his faith &believe that the Supreme Court must always remain independent.
No
Answer: No.
Supreme Court is fine - Washington Post has lost its moral compass……… if it ever had one.
It cannot.
He’s the reason
Nope.
Lmao. He caused it.
Even The Onion is wondering if this headline is parody
If we had legitimate journalists you'd already know that John Roberts is part of the unethical problem of the Supreme Court. We'll have to appoint more judges to mute them or expel them.
An ethics crisis because they don’t think your way? And you are an expert in what?
NOPE!
Considering it is supposedly the highest court in the land it certainly has lost the trust of the majority of the people. Now that is scary!
Ginny
WP is hilarious.
Fix it? He’ll do no such thing.
Well, suppose several of the other Justices simply boycotted the proceedings of the court--refused to attend, refused to vote, stopped the entire process. I don't see a Constitutional remedy for that, and it sure would 'gum up the works'.
Sure, get all the right-wing SCOTUS members to resign out of shame.
the supreme court is in an ethics crisis because it ruled in a way we don't agree with because we don't understand case law. lol, k.
Didn’t know that ethics was only when you agree with the press narrative
Opinion by Henry Hakamaki: Can the Fox guard the henhouse?
Not getting decisions you agreecwith does not equate to an ethics crisis
'Ethics crisis' you mean a takeover by religious zealots.
He's part of the problem.
DougJBalloon
No
Lol
No, you and others are trying very hard to tear down
No credibility until they are transparent who leaked you know what. My guess is they know but have decided it’s in the countries interest to drop it. If their forced into revealing, there will be smoke and mirrors, anything but the truth. Be transparent now to build the trust.
Roberts participated in the Brooks Brothers riot and helped GWB get “elected” by SCOTUS. His institutioalist approach may have worked in a 5-4 court, but that is now out the window. He can’t control this Court any longer.
He's part of the problem.
Correction 🛑 six conservatives seated on SCOTUS have ethics issues.
This is a parody, right?
No! It's going to require legislation! Including an ACTUAL code of ethics, term limits & mandatory retirement age !
Can Roberts fix SCOTUS’s ethical crisis? Perhaps. But will he do so? Highly unlikely. Clarence Thomas shows a blind eye to recusal. Samuel Alito seems to have an anger management problem with no hope of treatment. A sorry state of affairs. RuthMarcus
Nobody under 60 should be in charge of anything.
Roberts is the problem, not any form of solution.
Ruth Marcus thinks abortion is ethical. The WP is a joke.
The Supreme Court is no longer respected! Corruption includes liars, sexual assaulters, insurrectionist, politicians and men completely ignorant about the female body! Disgusting!
NO! He can't / won't. A fix would require that Roberts recognize that his court is broken. He is incapable of that obvious conclusion.
Liberal justices are sabotaging the constitution, but justice Roberts just watch and let it happen.
FACTS.
Dunno. Does he have the power to kick certain conservative colleagues off the court? No? Then, no. supremecourt scotus
John Roberts is not an ethical person. Therefore he cannot fix it.
Have y'all checked out DiedSuddenly_ yet? It's a hard watch.... 😰
