Chief Justice John Roberts has responded to a letter from Senators Dick Durbin and Sheldon Whitehouse regarding Justice Samuel Alito. The letter from the senators, which did not result from an official vote, has been criticized as partisan. Roberts emphasized the importance of preserving judicial independence in his response. The content of the letter from the senators has been described as solid, though the move to respond has been deemed idiotic by some.
