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.”
maybe stop being a corrupt piece of shit, John.
Lul check wants us not to complain when it is not balanced? Keep on Kangaroo Court.
No, it doesn’t. In fact, Roberts should consider himself lucky it isn’t much worse, considering that he and 5 of his collegues are nothing more than activist political hacks, completely undeserving of the job.
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
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.
I’m afraid it has been farther way from that. Sincerely, I hope something happens and you guys just make a turn around.
Maybe judges should rule in line with community expectations, instead.
Hostility from judges needs to fucking start.
The judiciary has the power to deputize individuals to enforce its orders. It needs to fucking start.
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.
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.
John Roberts is a W appointee. He and Clarence Thomas are responsible for setting a lot of the presumption among the right that the SCOTUS could be captured. Their rulings were egregiously partisan.
I have a first amendment right to be hostile according to them.
When Roberts retires, who is in line to replace him as chief justice?
I just have one thing to say to that… Get bent John.
“Bent john” — what’ve you heard?
