Chief Justice John Roberts, right, with his wife, Jane Sullivan Roberts.

After Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. joined the Supreme Court, his wife, Jane Sullivan Roberts, gave up her career as a law firm partner to become a high-end legal recruiter in an effort to alleviate potential conflicts of interest. Mrs. Roberts later recalled in an interview that her husband’s job made it “awkward to be practicing law in the firm.”

Now, a former colleague of Mrs. Roberts has raised concerns that her recruiting work poses potential ethics issues for the chief justice. Seeking an inquiry, the ex-colleague has provided records to the Justice Department and Congress indicating Mrs. Roberts has been paid millions of dollars in commissions for placing lawyers at firms — some of which have business before the Supreme Court, according to a letter obtained by The New York Times.

In his letter last month, Kendal Price, a 66-year-old Boston lawyer, argued that the justices should be required to disclose more information about their spouses’ work. He did not cite specific Supreme Court decisions, but said he was worried that a financial relationship with law firms arguing before the court could affect justices’ impartiality or at least give the appearance of doing so.

“I do believe that litigants in U.S. courts, and especially the Supreme Court, deserve to know if their judges’ households are receiving six-figure payments from the law firms,” Mr. Price wrote.

At the Supreme Court, Ethics Questions Over a Spouse’s Business Ties (Published 2023)

The chief justice’s wife, Jane Sullivan Roberts, has made millions in her career recruiting lawyers to prominent law firms, some of which have business before the court. Now, a letter sent to Congress claims that may present a conflict of interest.

Sad. I'm very disappointed in Chief Justice Roberts and his wife! They should know better! What do you think?

In much the same way as people who do not suffer from hemorrhoids cannot have problems with them, John Roberts and his wife cannot have any ethics problems. Like all Republicans serving in public office, the Roberts have no ethics.

sounds like another desperate attempt by the demafasict to smear the court. She’s a freaking legal head hunter…all lawyers potentially could be in front of the SCOTUS, she’s simply helping people get jobs. Just silly

 

[EMH]

They don't.

When has Fox News properly IDed Justice John Roberts as a Jew who lies about being a Christian and is extremely LEFT WING siding with HomO and the "right" to force everyone to buy health insurance....

John Roberts is 100% what Fox News is all about, changing the GOP from fiscally conservative and patriotic to America to Zionist Fascist big government traitors...

 

[Smokin' OP]

I think this is balderdash. Just because she helps law firms find good lawyers does not mean she is in any way remotely connected to the cases they take or where they end up.

Besides the multi-million $$$ kickbacks?
NOTHING to see here, move along.

 

[Aldo Raine]

Why do you hate the idea of women in the workplace?

Keep 'em barefoot and pregnant, eh?

View attachment 752806

In the picture that women is NOT barefoot and likely not pregnant.

The leftist vermin hate women.

Yep, transvestites are driving women out of sports taking their scholarships. Liberals are thrilled.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Roberts votes with libs. Sounds about right.

 

[Dekster]

Unless you want to change the constitution adding "confirmed bachelor" to the requirements to sit on the Supreme Court or make their spouses government employees, it is what it is.

 

[martybegan]

I think it’s silly for the OP to strain so hard to find some silly petty crap to whine and post about. Hyperventilating over this is a waste of time but apparently a requirement for certain liberals.

I wonder if anyone has gone over the lives of the spouses of the progressive justices.......

 

[martybegan]

Just like all of the loony democrats woulda coulda shouldas regarding Trump, from the article:

"Now, a former colleague of Mrs. Roberts has raised concerns that her recruiting work poses potential ethics issues for the chief justice."

concerns.....potential......"colleague".......

 

[AMart]

“The whole situation amplifies a major question about the court: are these nine people, making decisions that affect all of us, accountable to anyone?”

Another SCOTUS scandal: Chief justice’s spouse makes millions placing attorneys at top law firms that argue before the court​

Amen! I totally agree! No, they are not accountable to anyone!

There is no conflict there. She is a recruiter. She has nothing to do with how lawyers get clients/cases and how far those cases move up the ladder.

It's not a "kickback" it's a commission. And it's normal in the recruiting head hunting industry.

 

[Billiejeens]

Smoking has probably never actually had a job.

 

[Smokin' OP]

YES, it is.
So how many supreme court spouses do this?

 

[Smokin' OP]

Smoking has probably never actually had a job.

A "job" like your dear leader?
No, most people go to jail for that.

 

[Billiejeens]

A "job" like your dear leader?
No, most people go to jail for that.

So, no job.
I love that I am literally never wrong.

 

[Billiejeens]

YES, it is.
So how many supreme court spouses do this?

Probably just the ones that are in the head-hunting recruiter industry.

 

[Smokin' OP]

So, no job.
I love that I am literally never wrong.

Yeah, like Trump...............only in your mind.
