Roberts declines Senate invitation to testify on Supreme Court ethics

BY ALEXANDER BOLTON AND ZACH SCHONFELD - 04/25/23 7:13 PM ET

Chief Justice John Roberts has declined an invitation to testify before the Senate about the Supreme Court’s ethical standards, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said Tuesday. 

In a letter responding to Durbin, Roberts wrote “I must respectfully decline your invitation” and noted a sitting chief justice has testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on only two occasions in the past 102 years.   

“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.

@corbe

In other words,the US Supreme Court refuses to come under the control of the left,and to remain an independent organization.

There is NOTHING  in  this world the left hates more than someone or some organization that  isn't under their thumbs.

Chief Justice John Roberts Tells Democrats to Pound Sand, Declines to Testify at Senate’s Supreme Court Ethics Hearing

U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has told Democrat senators to pound sand and declined an invitation to testify at a congressional hearing on ethics rules for members of the SCOTUS.

Roberts overruled Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and said if he came it would pose a threat to judicial independence.

Roberts wrote: “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.”

Durbin said, “I am surprised that the Chief Justice’s recounting of existing legal standards of ethics suggests current law is adequate and ignores the obvious.
