"Smiley John Roberts has pretty much established himself at the top of the list of great American traitors. No one in our history has gutted our constitution as this man has. The others betrayed our country in various ways-this man has betrayed it's foundation, the very thing he swore to protect."
AMEN. The question is Why? Was he hiding under RBG’s robe all along, waiting to light a fire to the Constitution until all players were in position? Regarding Trump “The cheese stands alone”
You are exactly right, Yodagirl. Roberts must be on the same dole, & from the same people as Trump is. Certainly his actions belie someone that hates America's people every bit as much as Trump does. Trump's psychopathy neatly explains Trump's destructive behavior, Roberts on the other hand strikes me as a man that has drunk from the right wing fascist Kool aid far too much & for far too long. The Unitary Executive belief system is nothing more than a euphemism for the GOP autocratic takeover conspiracy/project. When reckoning time comes, it's important that Roberts complicity has been made a well established fact.
Group think and years of indoctrination are powerfully coercive entities that the GOP wing on the Supreme Court, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Victor Orban are no stranger to, most particularly are, fascist wannabes and autocratic Kool- aid intoxicated judges like Chief Justice John Roberts and his traitorous cohort of, fellow like- minded justices.
Roberts is a self serving sanctimonious power-greedy hypocrite
He claims to be Catholic & think it gets him off the hook for being a morally bankrupt douchebag
He despises people who disagree with him including hating and dismisses other Catholics who see through his BS -behaving inconsistently to the principles of democracy & free speech
He not only pretends to be law abiding -he is a dictator interpreting the constitution in a way that no moral sane intelligent person could
Roberts is a self-serving sanctimonious hypocrite. He claims Catholicism but uses it to excuse moral failings. He dismisses dissenters even fellow Catholics and betrays democratic principles and free speech. His constitutional interpretations serve power not justice.
We are entering perilous times in our history because too many people lack the courage to do what their oaths require. Or they are completely beholden to the corruption of this administration. I hope our democratic experiment survives.
to save this country, will probably be left to the womin; not having babies, surving having babies, taking care of the babies and teaching the " big babies" what it takes to have integrity.
I wonder if he was in on P2025 from the beginning or he read the early draft(s) and said "Boy howdy I can support that!" and then joined in 100%. Either way he'd be our Justice Taney if it wasn't for The Zealot, The Drunk, and Uncle Thomas.
Johnny-boy expressed fascist beliefs when he was first appointed. Specifically, he said that corporations should have a greater say in the government. This is a tenet of fascism as expressed by Benito Mussolini. In the 1950s, this may have been removed from the dictionary definition but Mussolini’s definition of fascism is still the standard no matter how much oligarchs and RepubliKKKans don’t like it.
The Roberts court has been paving the way for the fascist government we have today. It is the worst Supreme Court in US history. They surpassed the Taney court a long time ago.
I wish the current decision s were the last of their destruction of our country but they have 3+ more years to kill off our nation. We can’t let this bunch win!!!!
We don't really have a whole lot of choice that I can see though. They're firmly implanted there in lifetime appointments. If we're lucky enough to ever have a Dem controlled senate and house along with a Dem president again, maybe a couple of those old MAGAt farts on that bench will kick the bucket and we can turn the tables. I'm 78 and I don't see it happening in my lifetime, but I sure hope it happens before we're too far gone.
I fear one of these older justices will be up for replacement and a young one will be installed. Alito and Thomas are clearing the right wing agenda in order to be replaced with their hand picked jurists such as incompetent but loyalist Cannon. She’s been real quiet. So obvious.
Roberts is trying to play us. He and his accomplices ruined the country by opening the door for Project 2025 and a runaway government taken over by a lawless sociopathic narcissist without rules. He knew how it would go. In my lifetime I will never respect those 5 supreme court justices for what they have done to America.
Well, ol' Amy tries to be sneaky, to keep us off guard, and votes with the three Dem justices on a few things. But on the really horrible stuff, she goes along with the rest of her fellow MAGAts.
LOL! Your comment reminds me of Jim Wright (Stonekettle)! He said that all the time. I used to follow him on FB and then on Threads until I kicked FB, Threads and Twitter/X to the curb. I don't see him posting on Bluesky yet. Sure do miss him!
Ahhh! I really miss reading his comments! I always used to start my day off reading Jim over coffee every morning! This particular comment was always one of my favourites and just fits these idiots so perfectly! LOL!
you keep fighting, showing up, protesting, get in the GOP 's faces at their offices, writing calling, support the vulnerable, mutual aid networks, run for an elected office if you want, get out new voters. Can't stop in despair. That's what fascists count on
Justice Roberts has devolved into a pretender. Below is a link to a excerpt of his statement when he was going through the nomination process.
Every word he spoke then has been Disregarded. Roberts once wanted judicial independence & being free to reject political pressure, adherence to judicial restraint , upholding the rule of law and safeguarding liberties for all Americans. Well , Roberts certainly
has proved to be Exemplary Charlatan and a liar on all he pretends to want his court to be like. Democracy is only a false front for him to hide behind: Roberts is a dam bloody Fascist.
Just like that GOP Rep. Kat Cammack who was surprised she couldn't get an abortion. Anti-abortion laws aren't supposed to apply to her. It must be the fault of The Left somehow.
John Robert’s is a disgrace.
You are too kind.

I don’t care about why, his feelings, his opinions, what he says and thinks.
Roberts is an anti American, anti constitution, anti rule of law.
The Roberts court needs to be dismantled, due to their deference to a psychopath, rapist, felon, pathological liar and bigot.
I am not sure how that can happen. I am just a nurse and a patriot.
I feel for sure this is unprecedented, but everything in this fascist regime is unprecedented

Vickie, perfect.
The next big March needs to be at the SC building.
💯
They push my button with their fake moral high ground
Need a catchy sign

Maybe Pope Leo can excommunicate him. Is that still a thing?

Deplorables of the un supreme court except for the 3 women who dissented
to save this country, will probably be left to the womin; not having babies, surving having babies, taking care of the babies and teaching the " big babies" what it takes to have integrity.
Sounds about right
He caused ALL of this. His impact on this nation will be known historically as the worst case of treason against the people!
SHAME!!!
Add Mitch McConnell to the treason list.

you have to get control of the Senate and the House and the presidency again. Only then can you, and you must, increasecthe # of justices in SCOTUS.

Six justices.
Oops you are right!
Well, ol' Amy tries to be sneaky, to keep us off guard, and votes with the three Dem justices on a few things. But on the really horrible stuff, she goes along with the rest of her fellow MAGAts.
John Roberts has about as much self awareness as a dog licking its own balls on a busy city sidewalk.
LOL! Your comment reminds me of Jim Wright (Stonekettle)! He said that all the time. I used to follow him on FB and then on Threads until I kicked FB, Threads and Twitter/X to the curb. I don't see him posting on Bluesky yet. Sure do miss him!
I stole the idea from Jim several years ago but reworded it.
Ahhh! I really miss reading his comments! I always used to start my day off reading Jim over coffee every morning! This particular comment was always one of my favourites and just fits these idiots so perfectly! LOL!
I love his comments about weasels and clowns . .
LOLOL! "...Raining down burning weasels and clown shrapnel..."

So many of us completely agree with your words, but the frustration continues because we don't know what we can DO about it.
Fascism has never been defeated with out violence. But we now know the military will obey illegal orders. They already have .
you keep fighting, showing up, protesting, get in the GOP 's faces at their offices, writing calling, support the vulnerable, mutual aid networks, run for an elected office if you want, get out new voters. Can't stop in despair. That's what fascists count on
This column is brilliant, biting and the best critique I’ve read of this abjectly incompetent Court. Thank you.
