Now he needs to review Scalia.
From Think Progress
by Ian Millhiser
Judge Edith Jones, the
former chief judge of the powerful United States Court of Appeals for
the Fifth Circuit, will be the subject of a formal ethics review.
Last
week, a coalition of civil rights organizations filed a complaint
against Jones alleging that she claimed that African-Americans and
Hispanics are predisposed towards violent crime, among other things. In
response to this complaint, Fifth Circuit Chief Judge Carl Stewart asked
Chief Justice John Roberts to transfer the Jones complaint to another
circuit. Yesterday, Roberts obliged with a letter formally calling upon
the Judicial Council of the District of Columbia Circuit to "exercise
the powers of a judicial council with respect to" the Jones complaint
and any related complaints.
