Came here to confirm my exact sentiment.
We are circling the drain. Any day now.
Well maybe he should uphold the Constitution instead of wipe his ass with it.
That dude is going down in history as a giant asshole that was bribed heavily.
Justice Taney would like a word.
No no you see, when he talks about "judicial independence" he means "judicial independence from the Constitution"
Probably should have thought about that before you made the president a king
“This arrangement, now in place for 236 years, has served the country well,” Roberts wrote in the report, which was released by the Supreme Court hours before the start of the new year.
"It was only when I started giving Trump all of the power that is supposed to lie in the Supreme Court that the arrangement started to fail," Roberts continued. "I thought I could get an even greater position of power by kowtowing to the demands of Trump, but now he says that my ass isn't as supple as it used to be, and that I keep losing concentration when I'm servicing him. But what can I do? He keeps falling asleep in the middle. Justice Thomas said the same thing. I knew people had said that with Trump, loyalty is a one-way street, but it's shocking to experience it myself. I used to have all the power in the world, but now I just really feel used by this whole ordeal."
John if you get on your knees right now and pray for mercy and beg forgiveness. The American people will be swift with their justice and grant you an early end of your life long term.
Ya know it's kinda funny that I'm finding I agree with Justice Roberts, I think it would be great for the Judiciary to be a 'separate but equal' "branch" of our government. No, really, this is a great idea. Like we could have like maybe three, separate but equal branches, maybe this is a stretch, but we could call them, umm, The Judiciary, The Legislative, and the Executive Branches.
What if each of them actually did their job? And only their job? Or am I being too fantastical?
lol that’s great
On the other hand the only reason I don't want Roberts to drop dead right this second is because I'm afraid of who would replace him.
I absolutely agree in principle. This court however is corrupt as all fucking hell. I want a court that tells me no when I want to infringe on the freedom of others, not one that says anything is ok when the president does it. Also I want one that actually believes in precedent like Roe.
Great idea. How about we require that any partisan judge or lawyer has to retire and is ineligible for the bench and the bar?
It will go a long way of making sure that happens as soon as he dies in 3 years.
