Chief Justice Roberts defends Supreme Court against criticism of partisan rulings
Chief Justice John Roberts told a judicial conference in Hershey, Pennsylvania that the public misunderstands the Supreme Court's role, characterizing it as viewing justices as purely political actors rather than legal interpreters. Roberts' remarks came days after the Court's 6-3 decision striking down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act, which has been used by Southern states to redraw congressional boundaries and has drawn sharp criticism from Democrats and voting rights advocates. Roberts stated that considered criticism is appropriate but expressed concern when it shifts to personal attacks on judges.
