Why? They are not required to do that: According to Title 28, Chapter I,
Part 453 of the United States Code, each Supreme Court Justice takes the
following oath:
  "I, [NAME], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice
without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich,
and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the
duties incumbent upon me as [TITLE] under the Constitution and laws of the
United States. So help me God.''
