Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts Addresses Ethics Review Amid Clarence Thomas Controversy

Chief Justice John Roberts has pledged to maintain the "highest standards of conduct" at the Supreme Court amid mounting pressure from congressional Democrats for changes following a series of scandals involving Justice Clarence Thomas. Roberts did not address the recent controversies directly but framed the ethics debate as an "issue of concern inside the court." Senate Democrats have been pushing for legislation on Supreme Court ethics, such as requiring a code of ethics, but Roberts has resisted those proposals in the past.
