Is it against the law to lie to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court?

Trick question? You could be charged with perjury in federal court under (18 USC § 1623) for making a false material statement (or for providing fake documents) if you contradict previous testimony you've given under oath before a court or grand jury, and if the government can prove one of the statements made was deliberately false. If found guilty of perjury, a felony, you could be fined or sentenced to prison for not more than five years, or both.
However, with the exception of disputes between the States, the US Supreme Court only hears cases under its appellate jurisdiction. Appeals are not trials, so witnesses don't testify in Court. If you don't testify before the Chief Justice under oath, it's entirely possible to lie without committing a crime. It's difficult to imagine the circumstances under which you might have an opportunity to do this, though.
