The U.S. Supreme Court seems as intractable as ever on the perennial issue of allowing broadcast coverage of its proceedings. But there are glimmers of glasnost at the court—most notably the recent sale of nearly $1.5 million in stocks by justices apparently seeking to avoid investment-related recusals.
Some of the transactions may affect upcoming arguments. Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. appears to have sold off between $250,000 and $500,000 in Microsoft Corp. stock in the weeks before Jan. 15, 2016—the day when the court granted review in Microsoft v. Baker, a class action that will be argued in the fall. The sale will enable Roberts to participate in the case.
