Chief Justice Roberts Addresses Supreme Court Ethics, Offers No Concrete Solutions

Chief Justice John Roberts defended the integrity of the Supreme Court and its commitment to the highest standards of conduct amid growing concern about how the justices handle potential conflicts of interest with their personal lives. Roberts did not indicate what additional steps the Court could take to shore up public confidence or when it might act. The Court has suffered declining favorability in recent months, and a new poll finds 41% of Americans approve of the way the Supreme Court is doing its job, while 59% disapprove.
