I'd prefer they just inform them that the next time dems are in power, they will publicly ignore SCOTUS rulings and taunt the court, knowing Impeachment and conviction is not a real possibility and that the court has no actual ability to enforce anything at all.

People forget he was right in the middle of the Florida recount during the 2000 election.He's a big reason there was no President Gore.He's always been partisan. He just doesn't like being called out for it.

Roberts seems like the type of person it would be easy for a politician or interviewer to make a fool of if they took kids gloves off and did not treat him as "his honor." The guy is lucky no one presses him. Because he is clearly the type who would get into an embarrassing spat.

Yeah, he thinks he's the holiest of holys.It's all that white boy, upper crust, ivy school bullshit.If he had his way there'd be no black skin going to an ivy school &, his bud Clarence would not be on the Supreme Court. It's the same racism, just the northern version.

The painful history the US (mainly African Americans) went through to secure the Voting Rights Act set back 60 years. Roberts' explanation EMPTY! The Rightist Court knows that DE JURE (ruling) protects and expands DE FACTO) (institutional racism). SCOTUS brings back Reconstruction 2.0 + JIM CROW.

I don’t understand why they can’t just be honest. Ok; they are all trying to interpret the constitution, but all of them are doing so through their political lenses. It’s always been a charade saying they are not political, but Alito and Thomas are the most political justices ever. Just own it.

but to Roberts that is something to celebrate as he has targeted any voting rights since his law school days, he views that as whitefully restoring order

Good lord, these baby conservatives and their fee-fees. Roberts: Don't say I'm voting politically, waahh. Kavanaugh: plz no say "Kavanaugh Stop", wahh. Y'all are literally directly involved in killing people. I don't give a flying fuck about your feelings.

I am so glad people are waking up to racist roberts. Always hiding behind alito and thomas. The oligarchs are the ones who put roberts in the supreme court to do exactly what he's doing now. Respect is earned, and not given to people who don't honor the oaths they swore to uphold.

So all along we thought the intent of the Reconstruction Amendments was to prevent whites from hurting blacks, but according to the "original intent" guys they were intended to prevent blacks from hurting whites?

The SCOTUS Maga 6 are MOST DEFINITELY POLITICAL ACTORS. Roberts, Gorsuch, Alito,Thomas, Kavanaugh & Barrett have shown they're political actors & are only interested in a white nationalist nation b/c they protect only "pasty white people." I'm a pasty white person who thinks ALL Americans are equal.

There will be a time when he is gone, and he can't say things like this anymore. All that will be left is legacy. I wonder if he's satisfied with his.

Rob Roy you sold your soul to the orange devil and now you want us to believe that you follow our Constitution? Get the hell outta here! The supreme court’s actions speak louder than words your opinion means nothing to us!

Thank you very much for your opinion sir. Somehow I knew you'd say something stupid like that! We need court reform now to remedy this disaster!!

Rascist judge says what? Just listened to talk on Roberts work history. He’s been looking to gut the voting rights act since the 80’s. Guy is so full of shit.

May the spirit of Roger Tanney haunt your ass for the rest of your waking days. And may the souls of victims of racial violence trouble you so much, you renounce your cruelty. ✨

We honestly need to stop calling them Conservative, because that implies that they just want slow progress. Their actions to rewind decades of settled law and precedent deserve another name: Regressives.

I do not have appropriate language to describe the stress and trauma caused by living through multiple events per week for an entire decade that, if written as fiction, would be thrown back at you by any competent editor *with force* as unacceptably trite and unbelievable.

It's a typical right-wing attitude: they want the freedom to punch down without being denied any of the respect they imagine they're due. Like that billionaire who was whining instead of higher taxes he should receive adulation

Always good to remember that this is just finishing what he started w Shelby v Holder over a decade ago. The results were exactly the same: GOP instantly went to work "surgically targeting" & dissembling Black voting power (in the words of the courts after challenges btw). This is his life's work.

He will go down as the worst and most partisan Chief Justice in history. Books will be written on the demise of a once revered American institution at the hands of men who never should have been appointed by men who never should have been elected.

Chief Enabler John Roberts should just stop crying about his legacy. He’s either colossally stupid or pitifully lacking in self awareness. He could just stop being just another douchebag lapdog for 🌮

Oh, I think the American people have a pretty good idea of what the SCOTUS is doing and why. Not political actors? Bullshit! Racists, bigots, homophobes, oppressors of women’s rights. Sounds about “right”!

Alito wrote an opinion Atwater would have envied (b4 his regrets set in) for the John Roberts Confederacy Court. Roberts will push back until he doesn’t feel he has to anymore, which is in the not too distant future. Predicting MAGA/GOP & some leftists will be openly using the n-word by year end.

RACISM Andrew Weinstein There is something deeply pathological about Chief Justice Roberts insisting the Supreme Court isn’t political while sitting atop the most ideological supermajority in modern history.

John Roberts take a look at the aftermath the SC dismantling the Civil Rights Act. It didn’t take red states long to draw redistricting maps to eliminate Black Representation in Congress .You cowards knew what was going to happen. Look at what happened when you eliminated the right to abortions. 😡😡🤷🏽‍♀️

For all the melodramatic hand-wringing they do about making laws, maybe they ought to worry a bit more before they un-make laws. And they'd better hurry because before long there won't be any left.

Strange how they keep overturning long established precedents which everyone understood to represent what the laws and Constitution were previously…

The majority of SCOTIS clearly favors transitioning to a fascist dictatorship. They are doing all they can to empower and protect their chosen dictator. The short sighted motivations of $ and power have clouded their memory of history. Fascist dictatorships don’t typically end well.

Robert’s you fucker the American public SEES you for exactly what you are, a SNAKE working on destroying our democracy. So fuck all the way off you racist prick.

Retired conservative Judge J. Michael Luttig, a longtime friend and former colleague of Chief Justice John Roberts, has become a sharp critic of his leadership, stating that Roberts is "presiding over the end of the rule of law in America"

This is why they NEED to have term limits for these judges. Every one of them said they would not overturn cases like Roe v Wade and yet… they need to realise that their stupid political decisions actually have consequences for the masses, and that they must remain impartial.

The fact that the southern states that were required to ensure minority representation by the Voting Rights Act immediately ran out and gerrymandered out the minority votes proves that the Voting Rights Act was still necessary and it was a mistake to gut it.

Grotesque. I wonder if he genuinely believes his own horseshit, or if this is just a defense mechanism to protect his ego from admitting that he is more responsible for destroying America's democracy than literally any other individual. I hope he can't get any sleep at night.

Nothing anyone appointed by Trump can say or do can ever be thought of as “in good faith”. I feel like this extends to anybody who still votes, or has ever voted Republican. They are not well people and their opinions should not be trusted.

He has no right and no business telling the people that their views are wrong. We aren't stupid and we can all read the Constitution. That's some nerve he's got.

He does this frequently, actually. He always loves to pipe up to say how everyone needs to shut up about criticizing his court. He does not appreciate how that plays to the normal citizen. It sounds like an elite king scoffing at those damn proles for having thoughts.

From the guy that clerked for Reagan when Republicans tried to weaken Civil Rights in the 80s and finally got what he wanted... The Roberts Court will live on in infamy as instituting the New Jim Crow.

States with a modern record of redlining are the ones that have only one or two minority districts and now will have none. Minorities can not just move to other districts because they are not allowed to get financing there and if a voting district does well it’ll be redistricted by next election.

Just LOOK at his face. "It's mean of you to be mad at me. I'm just a big doofus trying to do his job. That thing that put me in Trump's pocket? It's nothing really, nothing for you to be concerned about. Just cut my big dumb self some slack, eh? It would just be the polite thing to do."
