America First Legal sues Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts
The lawsuit was also lodged against Robert Conrad, who serves as the director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, and accuses the men of operating beyond their scope of resolving cases or controversies.
The President Donald Trump-aligned legal group America First Legal Foundation on Monday sued Chief Supreme Court Justice John Roberts, accusing him of acting beyond his scope as head of the U.S. Judicial Conference.
The lawsuit was also lodged against Robert Conrad, who serves as the director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, according to Fox News.
The legal action accuses the men of operating beyond their scope of resolving cases or controversies, citing their cooperation with Congress in helping them investigate Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, and a willingness to create or adopt a code of ethics for the court.
"Under our constitutional tradition, accommodations with Congress are the province of the executive branch," the foundation said. "The Judicial Conference and the Administrative Office are therefore executive agencies," which would be overseen by the president and not the courts.
U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden will preside over the case.
