“A judicial system cannot and should not live in fear.' Chief Justice John Roberts urged continued vigilance for the safety of judges and justices in an annual report, after a tumultuous year at the US Supreme Court.
“A judicial system cannot and should not live in fear,” Roberts wrote. While drawing attention to judicial security, however, the chief justice bypassed other controversies, including calls for new ethics rules directed at the justices, and an update on an investigation launched eight months ago into the unprecedented leak of a draft abortion opinion last spring that unleashed nationwide protests.
Roth said he thought Roberts should have done more this year to shore up the public’s faith in the ethics of the court. “As things stand now, there is no formal code of conduct for the Supreme Court and justices themselves get to decide how they conduct themselves both on and off the bench without any formal guiding principles,” Roth said. Back in 2011, Roberts dedicated his year-end report to the issue of ethics, addressing such criticism.
