As significant ethics violations of Supreme Court justices have continued to emerge in recent weeks, it has become increasingly clear: There must be means to hold Supreme Court justices accountable.
Testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee is one such means. But when Chairman Dick Durbin invited Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to testify before the Committee -- voluntarily -- on May 2, Chief Justice Roberts refused, saying that for a Chief Justice to give such testimony is “exceedingly rare.”
But Chief Justice Roberts is presiding over a court in which serious ethical violations have been anything but rare.
In recent weeks, concerns have arisen involving Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, and even Roberts himself.
If Chief Justice Roberts does not see fit to address these concerns before Congress voluntarily, then the Judiciary Committee must issue a subpoena to compel him to testify under oath.
