Press release: “Chief Justice John Roberts praised in a recent speech “the importance and rarity of the judicial independence we have in our country,” and warned against continuing attacks against it. “The long history of attack on judicial independence confirms that neither side in the political debate has a monopoly on the tactic,” he said in a September 28 speech to “Fair and Independent Courts: A Conference on the State of the Judiciary.” The conference was sponsored by the Georgetown University Law Center and the American Law Institute.”
