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.”
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.
I’m afraid it has been farther way from that. Sincerely, I hope something happens and you guys just make a turn around.
