Justice John Roberts ignores Supreme Court ethics in end-of-year report

The reputation of the Supreme Court flowed quickly down the drain in 2023 as more reports detailed the scandalous breach of ethics unfolding at the High Court. The final report of the year from Chief Justice John Roberts left out mounting questions for the top judiciary and problems about whether the body is too far gone to repair its image.

Washington Post columnist Ann E. Marimow wrote Sunday that the yearly report from Roberts left out a lot, and it's not going to help as the Court enters 2024.

"Instead, he looked back on technological advancements in the nation’s court system, detailing developments from the quill pens used by justices in the 19th century to electronic databases of the 1980s to online trial proceedings prompted by the coronavirus pandemic," wrote Marimow.
