Supreme Court justices are not covered by the same ethics policies, although the justices have said they voluntarily comply with them. Roberts is one of three justices — Stephen G. Breyer and Samuel A. Alito Jr. are the others — who own individual stocks. They recuse from cases, or sometimes sell the stock in order to participate, but they too have missed some cases.Roberts did not address the view of some that judges and justices should avoid stock ownership.
“Nevertheless, new protections could help ensure that every court employee enjoys a workplace free from incivility and disrespect,” Roberts wrote. A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced legislation last summer that would establish whistleblower protections for judiciary employees and create a special counsel to investigate and report on misconduct complaints within the system.“I appreciate that Members of Congress have expressed ongoing concerns on this important matter, and the Judicial Conference and its committees remain fully engaged,” Roberts wrote.
He wrote about William Howard Taft, who served as president from 1909 to 1913, and then was chosen by President Warren G. Harding as chief justice 100 years ago.
