YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts said Wednesday that the nation’s highest court doesn’t feature “purely political actors,” comments that come after a notable decision affecting the Voting Rights Act.

“I think, at a very basic level, people think we’re making policy decisions, we’re saying we think this is how things should be, as opposed to what the law provides,” Roberts told 3rd U.S. Circuit judges and lawyers at a conference, according to The Associated Press.
