Such an arrangement, in which law firms with matters before the Court pay the Chief Justice’s household expenses, reasonably raises questions about the Chief Justice’s relationship with specific attorneys and the prospect of bias. The Chief Justice's failure to recuse—and to disclose Jane Sullivan Roberts’s assets related to her recruitment practice in his required financial disclosures—violates judicial standards and the law, and compromises the institutional integrity of the high court, in violation of 28 U.S.C. § 455 and the Chief Justice's oath.
