Chief Justice Roberts, 70: Not Thinking of Retiring

Chief Justice John Roberts, 70, who has been on the Supreme Court since 2005, said Wednesday that he hasn’t thought about retiring but he doesn’t want to be a burden to the court should his health decline.

“I’m sure if your health declines and if you recognize that you’re a burden to the court rather than part of an assist to everybody, then you know it’ll be time to go,” Roberts said in a fireside chat from Buffalo, New York, where he was marking the 125th anniversary of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York.

Roberts was born in Buffalo in 1955. His family moved to Indiana in 1965.
