SC Chief Justice's Wife Made Millions From Law Firm

A whistleblower from the legal recruiting firm Major, Lindsey & Africa says Jane Sullivan Roberts, the wife of US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, earned $10.3 million in commissions over seven years from her job as a headhunter at the company, Julia Conley reported for Common Dreams.

Jane Roberts placed attorneys with law firms—including at least one that argued a case before the Supreme Court after the placement was made.

She earned the money between 2007 and 2014, having taken a job with the company two years after her husband was confirmed to the Supreme Court, according to a report from Business Insider.

The whistleblower, Kendal Price, said in a sworn affidavit in December that he believed "at least some of [Roberts'] remarkable success as a recruiter has come because of her spouse's position."

Price's complaint was reported on earlier this year by Politico and The New York Times and Insider published new documents regarding the case.

The issue is the latest for the US Supreme Court, among the aforementioned is Associate Justice Clarence Thomas getting paid vacations and free transportation from billionaire Harlan Crow while his wife pushed conspiracy theories to unseat US President Joe Biden.

Additionally, Justice Neil Gorsuch sold real estate without reporting it and Justice Brett Kavanaugh earned a high court seat on the basis of a bogus claim of mistaken identity in a GOP report clearing him as his supposed doppelganger was in high school yet and not in Yale, where Kavanaugh exposed himself to Deborah Ramirez.
