In remarks at a judicial conference, Roberts bemoaned what he characterized as the American public’s misconceptions about the Supreme Court.
Chief Justice John Roberts on Wednesday defended the Supreme Court from what he believes are misconceptions held by the American people that he and his colleagues are “political actors” who are making decisions based on policy, not law.
Roberts is a member of the court’s 6-3 conservative majority, which has moved federal law to the right on a number of weighty issues in recent years, such as abortion and gun rights.
The court has also in several cases weakened the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965, including in a ruling last week that led to outrage and disappointment on the left.
Is it true?
Could I really have lost touch with the tenets of this office?
No. it’s the citizens who are wrong.
I’m upset that I view Roberts as a dude who doesn’t have my balls on his chin.
You want that?
I promise you that he won’t enjoy it.
Please elaborate.
To paraphrase the philosopher Lynn strait, " my balls is chin."
It’s true that they’re not political actors. They’re political whores. And they’re not even high-priced whores.
It’s not political obviously. He is the ultimate harbinger of truth and were just not listening!
Roberts belief that he can salvage the courts reputation is deeply pathetic. He wiped his ass with the law and made the supremes courts corruption even more brazen.
Did it occur him that he could avoid this perception by not making so many political decisions?
Well, that’s only because the Supreme Court is mostly political actors. Can’t see why he’s confused.
John Wilks Booth was a political actor.
This Supreme Courrt is political and open to all bidders.
SCOTUS told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
It was its final, most essential command.
I wonder if he genuinely thinks this. Surely he’d have to if he bothered to say so. I can’t imagine a cynical political actor would waste his energy explaining himself to a public that he isn’t accountable to. Thomas and Alito for instance don’t really say jack shit, because they don’t care what you think.
No, I don’t think they’re fucking actors. Obviously I’m upset because the jobs are real, you dumb stupid fuck. But I’d gladly take Martin Sheen over you, sure. Good idea.
Traitor says what?
Being the leader of the highest tier of the government’s judiciary branch makes everything you do or say political, Johnny-Boy.
Is anyone else getting mighty tired of that “I don’t do politics” shtick in general? I know I am. Even more so in a time where literal nazis are using it to cover up their ideological praxis.
No one is accusing them of being political actors. That’s not how the court system works. The fact that he claims that is an effort to play everyone for fools.
They are however partisan hacks.
They are however partisan hacks.
It’s worse than that, they’re actively corrupt. Robert’s or Alito’s Judicial philosophy is as irrelevant as Thomas’ racial identity; they believe in getting paid.
Well it sure as fuck isn’t objectivity.
