Supreme Court Chief Justice Gives Biggest Sign Yet of Trump Disapproval

Without naming any names, the conservative justice also said during an event with students at Georgetown University that recent attacks against Supreme Court justices have gone too far.

“The notion that rule of law governs is the basic proposition,” Roberts said, according to Politico. “We need to stop and reflect every now and then how rare that is, certainly rare throughout history, and rare in the world today.”

In response to a student’s question, he also said criticism of the Supreme Court is a good thing—“so long as it is not trashing the justices,”

Damn these editors are really stretching these headlines

SCOTUS regularly ignores the Constitution and centuries of legal precedent to further their own blatantly partisan goals. They decide what result they want then fabricate absolute bullshit logic to support that result. They've undermined our elections and allowed the GQP to make voting much more difficult. In a country where no one is supposed to be above the law, they've made Trump a king with near absolute power.
Astounding that after years of trashing our laws and the Constitution to further his own partisan goals, Roberts has the fucking gall to whine about people "trashing the justices". This snowflake thinks personal insults are worse than his own systematic damaging of the country and our government.
Roberts and his SCOTUS ilk can fuck right off.
- Another stanza for Martin Niemöller's quote:
  "When they came for me, no one gave a shit because I gave them the tools to come after me" - Roberts.

Are we sure he's not just defending the hopelessly corrupt Clarence Thomas?

Trash comes from the trash. So if you corrupt morons spit out trash we can only assume you are trash. And maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't have given sitting presidents immunity from prosecution.

Arrest the traitorous felon or shut the fuck up, nothing they say matters until this happens

SCROTUS opened a can of worms and now they find they can't do anything to put them back, lol

SCOTUS wants to have its cake and eat it too. Little fuckin late to be worried about being the rule of law when you've given immunity to a criminal and allow him to dismantle the very foundations of our constitution.
If you want people to actually believe in the court, maybe you should have abided by some sort of ethical framework.
I encourage all American citizens to ignore any law they deem to be unjust. It is your sovereign duty to ignore unjust laws. Civil disobedience against this administration is 100% justified. They'll call you a terrorist either way, so fuck what they say and ignore their rulings.
John Roberts should be made an example of. He made this situation and now is upset that people wanna pick on him personally. Well, tough shit.

They'll wait for congress to initiate. Congress won't.

A finger has been briskly wagged.

I read that as biggest sigh...

Cry me a river, John.
- He was too busy letting billionaire assholes flood our elections with dark money, dismantling the administrative functions of government, overturning roe, and giving presidents immunity from the law. This piece of shit and the other Republican pieces of shit on the supreme Court should be remembered for what they are - a threat to our system.

I trash the judges all the time. I’d invite them over to discuss it but I take a maximalist view of the third amendment and worry I’d have to be a true soldier¹ without permission if I got any sass from Alito or Thomas.
¹ Courts have yet to rule on whether No Limit Soldiers count and I don’t want to start the case in the 5th Circuit.
