John Roberts Whines That People Say Supreme Court Is Too Politically Biased

Chief Justice John Roberts of the United States Supreme Court is furious that the American public believes that Justices on the court have a “political bias,” even though they are chosen on a partisan basis and their political ideology is crystal clear in most of their rulings. Roberts is trying to pretend that the court is something that it is not, which is an independent, free-thinking, fact-based body. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains the truth of the modern Supreme Court.

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts released his end of the year report this past Tuesday, and for literally no reason other than apparently it's just under his skin. He included a paragraph in his end of the year report about how angry he is over the fact that public officials, which of course means Democrats are accusing the United States Supreme Court of having some kind of political bias, right? I mean, that's the most absurd thing that John Roberts has ever heard here is what Roberts wrote in that end of the year report, public officials, regrettably, have engaged in recent attempts to intimidate judges. I'm gonna have to stop your dumb right there. Intimidate judges. The, the public officials are intimidating, ju there is one person in this country who is literally publicly intimidating judges, and that's the man that Republicans just made. The next president of the United States. Donald Trump has openly threatened and intimidated the judges that were overseeing the cases against him. So how dare you sit there and accuse other public officials of trying to do that. That is the most bull crap I have ever heard out of your disgusting mouth.

Public officials regret regrettably, have engaged in recent attempts to intimidate judges, for example, suggesting political bias in the judges' adverse rulings without a credible basis for such allegations. Public officials certainly have a right to criticize the work of the judiciary, but they should be mindful that in temperance, in their statements when it comes to judges may prompt dangerous reactions by others. Oh, you mean like the death threats that the judges overseeing the Trump cases of God after Donald Trump publicly attacked him? Is that what you're referring to? Hmm. Maybe there's no political bias at the Supreme Court says the man who was a political appointee. E there is political bias in the court system, whether it's elected judges or whether it's appointed judges. Th that that's why there's always fights. You know, when democrats have the Senate and the presidency, they want Democrat judges, Republicans, same thing, because they share the same ideology and that's what they want on the courts. Is it a good system? Nope. But is it the system? Yep. To deny otherwise is to deny the reality of the United States, which apparently is what John Roberts is doing. You wanna know why people think there's a political bias at the Supreme Court other than of course, all of the, uh, fun little trips and everything that Republican mega donors are sending the conservative justices on, that they're then not reporting

Back to us. Or maybe the upside down American flag following the certification of the 2 20 20, uh, election at Alitos wife's house. Hmm. Rolling Stone put together a list of some of the things that this conservative majority Supreme Court has done in just the last few years. The Supreme Court has eliminated federal protections for abortion rights, limited the federal government's ability to regulate carbon emissions, protect Americans drinking water, and limit ozone pollution. Gutted federal agency's ability to implement regulations generally opened up longstanding regulations to new challenges, made it easier for states to enact racial gerrymanders eliminated college, uh, uh, affirmative action policies found businesses can discriminate against LGBTQ plus customers, permitted public school employees to lead students in prayer decided that companies can pay a public officials gratuities or thank you payments for corrupt contracting decisions, and broadly shielded Trump from criminal prosecution for any so-called official acts he committed as president.
