Chief justice reportedly took unusually active role in three recent supreme court decisions centering on Trump
John Roberts Jr used his position as the US supreme court’s chief justice to urge his colleagues to rule quickly – and in favor – of Donald Trump ahead of the decision that granted him and other presidents immunity for official acts, according to a New York Times investigation published on Sunday.
The new report provides details about what was happening behind the scenes in the country’s highest court during the three recent supreme court decisions centering on – and generally favoring – the Republican former president.
Based on leaked memos, documentation of the proceedings, and interviews with court insiders, the Times report suggests that Roberts – who was appointed to the supreme court during Republican George W Bush’s presidency – took an unusually active role in the three cases in question. And he wrote the majority opinions on all three.
Wonder what the kompromat on Roberts is.
Isn’t that only like $20? :one quick google search later: It’s like $110k.
Seems like maybe we don’t pay these judges nearly enough if they can be bought so easily. Why don’t we just give them an unlimited spending account. Basically make them never want for anything so they can be immune to bribery. It’s a lifelong appointment to serve the country why should they be bound by a paycheck?
Like elon musk is not bought out.
Do the inverse, elected for 5 or 7 years.
He’s a fool and not a natural born citizen, also his brain is broken.
I feel we would win a fight to pay the justices more, more easily than it would to change their appointments.
Which makes them incapable of being bought? Look at any senator you care to.
At least when they’re bought then it won’t be for the rest of my fucking life.
Maybe we start with an enforceable code of conduct instead of…you know… a blank check?
Get out
So what you’re saying is that Roberts is the orange idiot’s little butt boy?
