John Roberts has created a monster — and he knows it
John Roberts has created a monster — and he knows it
Five or six years ago, I was in federal court on an evidence motion. I don’t remember the issue, the claim, or whether I was for or against the motion. What I do remember like it happened today is the exchange I had with the judge.An attorney for the opposing side made an accusation about my client’...
Summary
Chief Justice John Roberts is facing the consequences of the Supreme Court's broad immunity grant to Trump, as the Trump defies judicial orders and undermines the legal system.
In a controversial move, Trump deported Venezuelan immigrants to an El Salvador prison, disregarding a federal judge’s order and claiming immunity under foreign affairs powers.
Roberts issued a rare statement defending judicial independence.
Trump’s efforts to impeach the judge and challenge legal accountability reflect an erosion of democratic norms, prompting urgent concerns over constitutional crises and the rule of law.
You're viewing a single thread.
He might know it but I doubt he feels any actual remorse for it.
Honestly I'm just so disappointed that Democrats did fuck all with it while they had the chance.
When HitlerPig "won" the election, we knew that the most prolific traitor in American history was taking over the presidency, with promises to literally destroy America.
Biden had full immunity, and he easily could have said "There is no eay that im going to allow a proven traitor, who is conspiring with Putin, to take over. I am remanding him to Gitmo, with all of his henchmen, where they will remain until all investigations and trials are resolved."
Sure, MAGAworld would have screamed but who cares? Better the treasonous minority scream instead of the decent patriotic American majority.
But Biden is the typical weak spineless weenie that nearly all of our elected Democratic officials are. So he put "peaceful transfer of power" above allowing a treasonous take over and destroy our Democracy. No wonder Republicans despise Democrats for their weakness. I do too, that's why I've been an Unafilliated Independent for over 40 years. I don't want to be part of either of their sick clubs.
I think you forget that the immunity decision wasn’t for democrats. The court knows that Biden wouldn’t do shit and they would have stopped him if he tried what you said. The immunity decision was for their special boy Trump and only people that align with them ideologically.
This piece seems like bullshit. Roberts knew what he was doing, and did it anyway because he is a fascist just like the rest of the fedsoc judges.
Oh, yeah, I get it, but that's not how laws work. The law is a two-edged sword, and they aren't just for some people, they are for ALL people. Dems need to keep reminding the Nazis that the same laws they want to apply to Dems can also be applied to them.
It would have been really bad but I would have been briefly ecstatic if like all the key Republicans were just rounded up and shot for being traitors.
Probably be better off overall.
In nearly every nation in the not so distant past, and still in many nations in the world today, on the evening of Jan 6, after the Insurrection had failed, HitlerPig and all of his evil henchmen and family would have been dragged out onto the White House lawn and publicly executed.
I had posted that statement many times on Reddit, and when I posted it on the day after his Inauguration, my 12 year, million karma account was permantently banned.
And here all I said to earn a ban was that he was so unhealthy that he likely wouldn’t live long enough to reign like Putin.
Reddit is a for profit private capitalist enterprise. It has no soul and no sense of right and wrong. I'm not saying we should execute their leadership, but i wouldn't be mad if they all died
I assume he does care about keeping his power, though.
He has no power if judges have no power.
He cares about his legacy, or at least he used to.
I’m just so disappointed that Democrats did fuck all with it while they had the chance.
That's what they're there to do.
Idk if the folks downvoting you are naive or just desperately clinging to the idea that someone out there cares about them. Either way, they haven't been paying attention.
