SUPREME COURT ETHICS ISSUES TRACE TO JOHN ROBERTS’ ‘ORIGINAL SIN,’ NEW BOOK ALLEGES; Rolling Stone, September 30, 2025

TESSA STUART , Rolling Stone; SUPREME COURT ETHICS ISSUES TRACE TO JOHN ROBERTS’ ‘ORIGINAL SIN,’ NEW BOOK ALLEGES

"The Hamdan case, Graves argues, was Roberts’ “original sin,” and one that goes a long way toward explaining why Roberts has failed so spectacularly as successive ethics scandals have engulfed the high court. “If you realize what he did to get the job — staying on that case that he had no business staying on, a case where the Supreme Court reversed him ultimately — I think that it reveals that we’ve placed false hope in Roberts being fair, and in Roberts not being motivated by his own desire for power.”"
