Chief Justice John Roberts touted the independence of the federal judiciary as a “counter-majoritarian check” and urged Americans rattled by partisan politics to keep faith with the Constitution in an annual report Wednesday that steered clear of direct discussion of modern controversies.
Roberts’ history-heavy statement made no mention of Donald Trump, nor the intense conflict that has cropped up between federal courts and the White House since his second inauguration nearly a year ago.
Trump has questioned the legitimacy of courts that paused his policies and called for the impeachment of judges who ruled against him.
This is just a prep for when the GOP loses significantly in the mid terms and the pendulum swings back against them. There is no intent to not be in lock step with project 2025, it is just a coincidence. I hope there’s significant restructure of the supreme court soon as more than half of them are bought and paid for.
Fuck you, you lying fuck… YOU’RE literally the driving force for why we have lost faith
This dude will go down in history as the man who put the final nail in the coffin of the “republic” all representation of the people died with citizens united. Our government is now literally occupied by Israel and oligarchs a lot of whom are immigrants from South Africa
Sorry bud, an indepdent judicary ship sailed a long time ago. As soon as people started labeling judges as liberal or conversative, Democractic or Republican appointed, etc.
This kind of wording confirms that judges are just part of the political process.
TRAITOR
Says the unabashedly biased, bought and paid for chief justice
A report full of right-wing lies. Might be worth mentioning that point.
What Roberts really doesn’t want is for Congress to exercise its constitutional power to regulate the workings of the Supreme Court and to establish ethical standards backed by law.
Hard to keep faith when the judiciary has zero ability to complete the executive to obey it.
What a fucking clown
the US constitution expressly allows slavery. fuck the constitution.
He’s mad that the lower courts aren’t completely corrupt and the poors aren’t worshipping his decisions.
Well maybe he should uphold the Constitution instead of wipe his ass with it.
he will have to confer what his billionaire donors/ or putin thinks.
That dude is going down in history as a giant asshole that was bribed heavily.
Justice Taney would like a word.
Thomas would have a word, but he is a strict follower of “Keep Your Mouth Shut, and Don’t Prove You’re An Idiot” philosophy. His wife has probably prohibited him from speaking, and he’s scared shitless of that Bulldog.
Give every new Justice a bidet when they take office, so they don’t grab for the nearest parchment.
No no you see, when he talks about “judicial independence” he means “judicial independence from the Constitution”
I’m sympathetic to the idea that we don’t need a “Supreme Court”. We have a representative legislature. They don’t even follow the constitution or precedents. Frankly the institution is illegitimate.
Probably should have thought about that before you made the president a king
Had to double check the source, to make sure this wasn’t The Onion.
Came here to confirm my exact sentiment.
We are circling the drain. Any day now.
