Fortas Leaves Supreme Court Over Pension Issue
Justice Fortas resigned from the Supreme Court and will not receive a government pension, the Court and Civil Service Commission announced. He cited failure to meet service and age requirements for a judicial pension and said the move allows the court to proceed without external stress. He had previously disclosed a $20,000 yearly life annuity from a foundation, contingent for his wife after death, which he said he returned the foundation fees for writing and research. He denied attempting to influence cases related to Wolfson and asserted the resignation was to avoid controversy and protect the court’s work.
