Chief Justice John Roberts is facing increased scrutiny for his refusal to meet with Democratic lawmakers regarding the court’s ethics crisis. Following a series of ethics scandals and controversial decisions, some wonder whether Roberts has lost control over his court. Roberts lacks leverage among his colleagues now that it’s a 6-3 Court, and due to the absence of a clear Democratic majority in the Senate that could have initiated impeachment proceedings or passed basic ethics protections, argues Melissa Murray, a law professor at New York University. “The fact that there isn't a clear majority in the Senate makes it a lot harder for this Congress to control the court, and for the court to control itself,” she says. Leaving the Chief Justice “out in the wilderness.”

Alexander Hamilton said our federal courts would be the ‘least dangerous’ branch of government. Justice Samuel Alito, like Justice Clarence Thomas, has called that into question. No one is above the law, including the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court. The rule of law loses meaning if the public loses trust in its independence and neutrality. The most powerful court in the land, the U.S. Supreme Court and its nine justices, carry the responsibility to protect our rights and the republic without fear or favor. Justice Alito’s dismissive and combative letter to Congress on the heels of the public revelations that his property has flown flags widely viewed as symbols of the January 6 insurrection and associated with a far-right creed is shocking.

What were the Founders thinking, allowing a bunch of lawyers to wield such power in the absence of term limits and accountability?

Little wonder that so many believe that 99% of lawyers give the others a bad name.

It defies belief that in a democratic republic that the lines of politics and justice can be so easily blurred and manipulated. US really needs to examine the current and future impact of these blurred lines. Politicians should not appoint members to the judiciary in the same way the judiciary does not recommend laws to be enacted to lawmakers. Being able to politicise a judicial system is the single biggest contributor to the disarray in the US and politicians have been working towards this kind of disruption for a decade.
