The chief justice doesn’t like his conservative Supreme Court colleagues getting called out for judicial overreach.
Snowflake behavior
Let me know when Roberts begs the others to stop taking massive gifts that look like bribes.
“Why won’t they just let us make wildly unpopular decisions that jeopardize the livelihoods of Americans without having to make us feel bad about it?!”
-Roberts, 2023
Well if the court didn’t engage in clearly partisan politics, maybe the liberal justices wouldn’t have anything to criticize.
Does he realize how bad it looks when he voices that his problem is criticism and not like, I don’t know, taking money from political interests? Or refusing to recuse in cases where there’s a relative directly involved?
It is really incredible how far down the drain the SCOTUS has gone in such a short period of time. Not saying it was great before Justice Kennedy retired either, but at least back then it was generally respected.
I hope RoyGBiv is rolling in her grave at refusing to step down and let Obama select a replacement when she knew the power of her position.
Why do you think they would’ve filled her spot when they didn’t fill the other one with Merrick Garland? She protected her spot or they would’ve held it up until Trump.
None of these people deserve their positions.
I don’t know, I like Sotomayor. And Brown-Jackson seems alright. And I really don’t have much opinion on Kagan aside from the fact that I usually agree with her rulings. As for Conservatives, I disagree with all of them almost always, but Gorsuch at least seems to care about consistency, and I think his views on Native affairs is admirable.
