These 6 Justices care absolutely nothing about justice.
They are so far up the asses of the Federalist Society and Project 2025. This SCOTUS is the most anti-democratic Supreme Court ever. Shame on all of them! This country was founded on eliminating kings.
Dems need to wake the f*ck up! Trump is just a distraction while they pursue Project 2025 implementation. That's why I often wear this "Reject Project 2025" shirt 👇
As far as I am concerned, the only quote that matters is "Do unto others..."
But clearly these asshats don't care what Jesus supposedly said. They pretend to be decent people, yet think installing a far-right theocracy—to hell or CECOT with anyone who isn't a Christian nationalist fascist—is just at any cost. I wish karma would bite them in the ass, but it won't.
The framers had a healthy fear for the adverse effects that injection of religion into government has, that's why the 'separation clause' of the first amendment was high(foremost) on their list of constitutional mandates. They bore witness to hundreds of years of mixing government & religion; and were having none of that failed power distribution, in the new nation.
Roberts, Alito, Thomas, Gorsich and beerboy disregard that well trodden history. Zealots never question their own competence. Not only are they determined to insert their extremist religious beliefs into the Constitutional order, but they have been determined to use Trump as their vehicle to convert the US government into a Russian style fascist kleptocracy, with Trump at its corrupt head. So that we now have the kind of corrupt demogogue heading the executive, a corrupt fascist Supreme Court majority, a corrupt GOP legislative branch and a money corrupted & coerced media, what we have is the framers worst nightmare.
Unfortunately, the Nazi party complete with der Fuhrer, has moved to our shores and taken up shop in the GOP; will we have the courage and wherewithal to dismantle and stop it, before they turn US cities into post war Dresden & Berlin? Only time will tell.
"When did he become this unworthy of being a Supreme Court justice?"
John Roberts is a George W. Bush appointee.
Shrub was the John the Baptist to Trump's Antichrist, and picking John Roberts to not only be a Supreme Court Justice but as the Chief Justice, which was a first in Supreme Court history IIRC? Let you know the Fix Towards Fascism was already in LONG before Donnie Diapershit came on the scene.
Remember the Guy who just paints dog pictures now, and raped the Bill of Rights (I don't think "rape" is inappropriate here, given what Bush and Cheney did to right to dissent and due process!) is a major reason Trump is even possible now....
Roberts staked out his territorial claim as the champion of the elite, and the enemy of the people, by shepherding thru the Citizens United, unlimited bribery decision. Then in a flagrant display of racism and partisan extremism he went after, and took-on, dismantling voting rights. He has upheld vote purging schemes and partisan gerrymandering. Roberts once said a justice's job is calling balls & strikes, but Roberts instead, has consistently sided with corporate power & polluters ahead of ordinary citizens and their health, in an extremely partisan fashion.
John Roberts is a card carrying fascist, in the same mold as Donald Trump, Rupert Murdock & Elon Musk, just biding his time and his anti-democratic moral corruption, until he has had sufficient cover & majority power to pounce. Absolute presidential immunity, for the most corrupt, autocratic president in US history; indeed? Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsich and Kavenaugh, all lack the judicial temperament and respect for precedent, required of the highest judges in the land. A democratic legislative majority must permanently rectify that problem. The GOP in Congress, the executive and the High Court have conspired to convert our democracy into a fascist, kleptocratic dictatorship, closely following the game plan of Hitler's third Reich.
I posted this on Heather Cox Richardson's site a few minutes ago:
"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 the corporations should have a greater say in the government. This is a tenet of fascism as expressed by Benito Mussolini. In the 1950, 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.
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!
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.
He’s not surprised. He knows about Project 2025 and has every intention of making sure it’s implemented. Roberts is scum and not to be believed.

Project 2025 is national sabotage tearing down everything that made America worth a damn. They’re trashing democracy. Wake up!
Please let’s not refer to them as Justices.
They are ignoring the Constitution and the rule of law.
They are disgustingly, and beneath contempt.
They are traitors- let’s call them that.
Not all of them. All SIX of those rat slunts.
You are 10,000% correct! JD Vance is the true Manchurian candidate though.
Mission accomplished—it’s pretty far along in its implementation. Sadly, he and his ilk will reap only the benefits while the rest of us suffer.
Pity they’re destroying the world over their misbegotten religious delusions. They missed the whole point of what I think Jesus was trying to say.
I don’t care what Jesus said. You can choose to be a decent person or you can’t. Full stop
As far as I am concerned, the only quote that matters is "Do unto others..."

Except that is misquoted the actual translation is “Don’t do to others what you don’t want done to you.” It makes much more sense. 😉

Agree
100% correct. They are all bought in.
John Robert’s is a disgrace.

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.

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 . .

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 .

This column is brilliant, biting and the best critique I’ve read of this abjectly incompetent Court. Thank you.
