Summary
Chief Justice John Roberts’ 2024 year-end report warns about threats to judicial independence, citing violence, intimidation, disinformation, and defiance of court rulings.
Roberts raises valid concerns about rising violence against judges and disregard for rulings.
However, he controversially conflates criticism of the judiciary with intimidation and disinformation, including public critique of ethical lapses by justices like Clarence Thomas.
This approach risks diminishing the seriousness of genuine threats and undermining public trust in the court.
He’s not imagining things, he’s lying.
What else should we expect from this wacky robed cultist?
It’s the words of a parent who expect their child to obey. It’s a common tactic of authoritarians–you’ll see it a lot once you know what to look for. He doesn’t have to be right, but you have to listen and do what he tells you.
It’s no way to negotiate between adults. Roberts can go fuck himself.
He is the physical embodiment of law in the United States. He has carved out his own fiefdom and will use all his power to defend it. What ever he thinks the law should be is how it is.
If the supreme court does it it isn’t illegal. It’s quid pro quo for what ever the president does is legal. Congress is exempt from US laws.
No Balance, No checks, all in public and all on the record.
This fucker is getting ready to retire so he is getting ready to blame ethics standards for his leaving. This is to justify even more flagrant violations by his to be named successor.
