Fortas Signals Crusade for Open Supreme Court
Fortas indicates the court should be more open to the public as he faces Senate confirmation for chief justice. He outlines the job’s scope from administrative duties to selecting authors of opinions and cites only a single vote in the nine-member bench. Fortas also reveals court statistics showing a high affirmation rate in recent criminal cases and argues for more public information about court actions.
