Chief Justice John Roberts made the comments to members of the American Law Institute.

He stated that the decision to erect a fence around the Supreme Court was the most difficult of his 20-year career as Chief Justice.

The hardest decision I had to make was whether to erect fences and barricades around the Supreme Court.

I had no choice but to go ahead and do it, Chief Justice John Roberts, US Supreme Court, via NBC News.

The fence was put in place in May 2022.

.

It went up following the leak of the decision to overturn Roe v.

Wade.

The 1973 ruling established reproductive rights for women.

Since the ruling to overturn Roe went public, the Court has faced a litany of controversies.

Reports that Clarence Thomas has accompanied powerful conservative donors on lavish vacations have raised questions about the Court's integrity.

Roberts addressed these questions during his remarks, as well.

I want to assure people I am committed to making certain that we as a court adhere to the highest standards of conduct.

, Chief Justice John Roberts, US Supreme Court, via NBC News.

We are continuing to look at things we can do to give practical effect to that commitment, Chief Justice John Roberts, US Supreme Court, via NBC News.

Roberts also downplayed reports of tension among the other justices.

He stated that โ€œthere has never been a voice raised in angerโ€ even out of the public eye
