Civil rights advocates and Democratic state legislators are defending and praising a state Supreme Court justice for suing to block a state ethics panel from investigating her public comments that she says are protected by the First Amendment.
In the interview Earls discussed the Supreme Court’s record related to diversity, alleging “implicit bias” against minorities in the hiring of clerks and witnessing what she considered harsh interaction initiated by court colleagues against female attorneys before the court. Republicans — four men and one woman — hold a 5-2 seat advantage on the court.
But Earls’ lawsuit said the code permits judges to speak about the “legal, or governmental system, or the administration of justice,” so that the commission should be prevented from investigating further. The commission’s members are chosen by the Supreme Court chief justice, North Carolina State Bar Council, the governor and legislative leaders. Six of the 14 members are judges.
Paul Newby, the Republican chief justice since 2021, doesn’t have a comment at this time on the content of Earls’ interview, a state courts spokesperson said Wednesday.
