An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Investigate and Remove Chief Justice Roberts for Ethics Violations

20 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

I need you to open a formal investigation into Chief Justice John Roberts for ethics violations, support his impeachment, and push for his disbarment. The evidence is overwhelming and documented. Roberts failed to disclose over $20 million his household received from law firms that argued more than 500 cases before him across two decades. He never recused himself once. His wife Jane Sullivan Roberts earned $10.3 million in commissions from Major, Lindsey and Africa from 2007 to 2014, with clients including WilmerHale and Hogan Lovells, firms that appeared before the Supreme Court dozens of times per term. For sixteen years, Roberts mischaracterized this commission income as salary on federal financial disclosure forms, which legal ethics experts confirm is incorrect as a matter of law. He also omitted a $100,000+ equity stake in Macrae for three consecutive years. This violates 28 U.S.C. § 455 requiring recusal when a spouse has a financial interest that could be substantially affected by the outcome. It potentially violates 18 U.S.C. § 1001, which makes falsifying federal documents a crime punishable by five years in prison. Federal Judge Thomas Porteous was impeached and removed in 2010 for false disclosure forms. A whistleblower filed a federal complaint with internal company spreadsheets proving these payments. The system has accountability mechanisms, but every institution refuses to act. Congress must step in.
