A former colleague of Jane Roberts is asking for an inquiry after claiming that the chief justice's wife had been paid millions in commissions to place lawyers at firms — some of which have business before the Supreme Court, according to a letter obtained by the New York Times.Jane Roberts had given up her career as a law firm partner to become a high-end legal recruiter to avoid conflicts of interest after her husband joined the Supreme Court.
“I do believe that litigants in U.S. courts, and especially the Supreme Court, deserve to know if their judges’ households are receiving six-figure payments from the law firms,” Price wrote. He lost the case, but documents from the case show commissions to Jane Roberts between 2007 to 2014. Six-figure fees are credited to Jane Roberts for placing law partners at firms, including $690,000 in 2012 from one match.
Patricia McCabe, spokeswoman for the Supreme Court, said in a statement to the New York Times that all justices were"attentive to ethical constraints" and complied with financial disclosure laws.

John Roberts was conservative until he got to SCOTUS. Blackmailed?
Is the wording of this article weird to anyone else? W/o judging yet, why is the non-public official the one being singled out by the headline? And if Hunter Biden was peddling his dad’s influence is he more responsible or is the “Big Guy” who allowed it to go on?
