Tsftsl ASSETS: Ca umiauntm Senator Sam Ervin Says WASHINGTON—Our fed eral courts have been the subject of much criticism and part of the problem may lie in the fact that justices and judges with in creasing frequency are per forming extrajudicial du ties. Last week I intro duced a measure in the Senate which seeks to en force the principle of sep aration es powers by pro hibiting federal judges from engaging in certain extrajudicial governmental activities. Essentially, the bill pro vides that except where provided by law, federal judges in active senriee shall not participate in the exercise of any power or duty which is conferred or imposed upon any of ficer or employee as the executive or legislative branches of the govern ment. Involvement in party or governmental affairs out side the ambit of their ju dicial duties is very at tractive to many federal judges. But the dangers of the practice are real Hie problem has concerned judges and others each time the matter has come to a head. The appoint ment of learned and re spected judges to public positions no doubt contri butes to the quality of the work they are called upon to perform. Their parti cipation lends an air of dignity and tone to the finished product. Never theless, there is serious question as to the advisa bility of judges borrow ing on the prestige of their office for such purpoees. There is the question of the loss of manpower which results when judges TOWN OF EDENTON NORTH CAROLINA COMBINED BALANCE SHEET—JUNE 30,1968 COMBINED STATEMENT OF SURPLUS YEAR ENDED JUNE 30,1968 leave their primary re sponsibilities to perform other duties. Judges and the court system as a whole are affected, some times quite adversely, by the invoivement of a judge in political disputes. Judges are expected to be aloof and impartial, and to dispense justice accord ing to law. Their reputa tion, and the reputation of the judiciary suffers when they become identified with a certain position in current public issues, when they run Tor other offices, elective or appointed, when they become involved in matters which" may even tually be presented to the court, and when they oth erwise step over the line between proper and ques tionable outside activities. The question of what nonjudkial activities a judge of the U. ». courts may properly perform without infringing upon the dignity and responsi bilities of his office is one which has confronted holders of judicial office since the creation of the federal judiciary. History abounds with examples of lower federal judges and Supreme Court justices who have been asked or have volunteered to per form official duties which were thought by many to be incompatible with their judicial office. The problem created by extrajudicial activity of this nature by the justices is particularly acute at this stage in the court’s history. More and more, the court has been involv ing itself in social and po litical problems. Many people have criticised the justices—l among them— for imposing their personal political views upon the nation in the form of con stitutional decisions. It is essential for the court to maintain a position of public neutrality no less than it is basic to its func tion that it actually be neutral in these issues. The bill I propose may not be the answer to the many difficult problems in volved in the question of extrajudicial activities. In- Atad, I am not entirely convinced that this is a problem which can be en tirely solved by law. I am hopeful the bill will serve as a means of guiding Congress, the President and the court in dealing with this problem. Stay at home in your mind. Don’t recite other people’s opinions.
