Chief Justice John Roberts warned against personal attacks on the judiciary, telling an audience Tuesday that while criticism of opinions is fair game, “personally directed hostility” is dangerous and must stop.
Roberts did not mention Donald Trump by name and, as he so often does, he went out of his way to stress that the attacks he was referring to were coming from “not just any one political perspective.” However, the chief justice’s admonishment came weeks after Trump said that justices who ruled against his sweeping tariffs were an “embarrassment to their families.”
More importantly, it is imperative that Chief Justice John Roberts’ heart stops.
Maybe we’ll consider it once the judiciary stops being hostile to the American people.
I just have one thing to say to that… Get bent John.
This, folks, is how the entitled class behaves. Kavanaugh is another great example. Born with a silver spoon in their mouth, guided by others into a top position. They only had to show up to the party while the rest of us idiots struggle to survive. Of course they expect to be able to do anything they want without consequence. This is not about Roberts noticing that opinion has changed, this is him suffering that there is pushback.
Eat shit Roberts, you’re one of the biggest enablers in all this
Hostility from the court towards anyone who’s not a rich white man needs to stop.
Clear favoritism towards Republicans in rulings needs to stop.
Justices taking bribes needs to stop.
Justices wives trying to overturn elections needs to stop.
The court making the president a king needs to stop.
Thomas and Alito being fucking pieces of shit needs to stop.
I can go on.
Can I suggest, humbly, then, that you guys start by throwing away your present constitution and start anew?
Yeah I’d love to but that’s not going to happen without suffering on a scale this country hasn’t seen since the Great Depression or a civil war.
Getting real sick of all the “Just overthrow the govt you lazy Americans! You’re not doing anything and that means you accept it.” takes on here.
Tell that to Minnesotans or Chicagoans or Los Angelinos.
“laziness” does not exist. It’s just a placeholder term used for when we don’t understand why people aren’t doing what we individually want them to.
The lack of a general strike is telling. Everyone everywhere faces hardship, but other places would have, long ago (like you should have under Regean long ago!)
Your billionaires know most of you are scabs and class traitors, they will not stop now.
Put up or shut up.
There are a significant minority of protestors, like the groups you mention. It’s not laziness they are being accused of. It’s their inability to match the scale, intensity and severity of the response to meet the threat.
When one side has armed gestapo paramilitary and majority control of the levers of state power and media and the other side has signs, clowns and furries protesting, the world sees a losing strategy.
I’m afraid it has been farther way from that. Sincerely, I hope something happens and you guys just make a turn around.
Yeah apologies it’s just exhausting sometimes. We’re trying but it’s not at a critical mass yet. I worry too many people are waiting for him to die thinking that’ll fix everything when he’s a symptom and not the disease.
The guy peacefully pass in his sleep would be something. I dread the infighting that would follow for the “throne”.
Have you tried not being corrupt oligarchs?
Phwoah calm down with the corruptoligarchophobia there!
Remember that simple trick: if your speech would be derogatory if you replace ‘corrupt oligarch’ by any other minority, then you might want to report yourself to the nearest corrupt law enforcement authority and donate some of your time and money to your local oligarch (they need all the money).
Won’t someone think of the poor billionaires
He’s violated his oath of office countless times. Doing so intentionally, once, should result in immediately disqualifying someone from holding any public office elected or appointed, existing or future. Change the locks on their office doors, stop their pay checks, and revoke their physical\digital access.
Resign then
The biggest slide away from democracy into fascist dictatorship occurred as Justice Roberts and then Chief Justice presided. He is directly responsible for the low quality of life we are all enduring. He deserves all the hate that is sent his way.
That’s unfair.
Merrick Garland deserves some blame for not indicting Donald for insurrection.
It stops when you quit your job, you traitor.
I have a first amendment right to be hostile according to them.
Depends if they decide it’s an official act.
According to the current majority, no you don’t.
You only have a First Amendment Right to be hostile towards “the radical left, the Marxists, the anarchists, the agitators, the looters and people who in many instances have absolutely no clue what they are doing.”
Roberts, are you suggesting we limit our expression of discontent at your privileged ass? Make me.
In a lawless shithole, he is not a Chief Justice. There is no supreme court. He is a member of an organized crime syndicate couched in the language of other countries’ real justice systems for a false claim to legitimacy.
