The Supreme Court wanted to expand executive power when they thought empowering a wannabe dictator wouldn’t affect them. John Roberts isn’t a hero for making a statement; he’s just another “I was okay with it when I thought it wouldn’t be me.”

I need to go back through some of my history where I was warning people that dictators don’t need Supreme Courts, and that by giving him a blank pen to be a criminal, they were making decisions that was going to end their own usefulness!
I think fElon has aspirations to do more than run doge for tRump. fElon takes more power to himself every day. fElon and Putin also have phone calls. I wonder if they are plotting to replace tRump once he has totally destroyed the U.S. Putin would love to see a foreigner running the U.S.
He’s still okay with it, he is simply telling Trump how to do it. Not sure why this was read any other way. Roberts doesn’t give a shit about the judicial branch.
I'm waiting to see how far Roberts will go - will he continue to defend the Constitution, democracy & the rule of law, or will he go back to kowtowing to Trump?
Roberts is a Trump boy. The rulings on his court have devastated the power of the people. He'd rather have money and a baptist style America. Real personal liberty and freedom not his thing.
Roberts gave him a mile. Trump took ten thousand miles. This is all on Roberts. He bears all responsibility for granting the executive unimpeded power. Trump and Bannon saw it - and they ran away with it. They left all the rest of us in the dust. Now Trump will bury Roberts in his own excrement.
Exactly. He reacted bc he saw the fire getting closer and feeling the burn. But when the fire was far, he was out there with a drink enjoying the view. Robert is an asswipe.
Yeah, interesting that he and his bunch gave trump immunity while in office, which says to me, they won't support other courts' rulings holding him back. Silly, naive little chief justice.
Elon Musk’s hot take? Dictators weren’t the problem—bureaucrats were. Because obviously, history’s real villains weren’t fascists, but office clerks. Next, he'll blame librarians for world wars.
100 %. Just like MAGA who are now losing their jobs because of a South African billionaire bigot. Only when it impacts them are they awakened to this monster.
After all of his numerous rolling back of rights, Roberts couldn't redeem himself if he saved a schoolroom of kids from a fire...he belongs in the Pantheon of evil democracy destroyers along with Gingerich, McConnel and trump.
Imagine a day when the President blocks those members of Congress whom he things are his enemies from being seated and asks each member of the Court to resign so he can have his select Senate seat a new Court.
All the KKKATHOLIKKKs on skkkotus are the ancient peedo kkkrime ring parallel OP that russians and the paperclip project people ran on evilgelikkkals.
An equivalent parallel OP was run on DEMS to create cud chewing, navel gazing "talk out our assholes" enablers of evil.
SCOTUS was excited for a conservative agenda, they ignored that Trump committed 34 felonies. Not respecting the trials, verdicts and impeachments were flagrant failures by SCOTUS, because they wanted a powerful conservative President. In doing so they enabled a dictator. They failed us.
My mom said the other day”It’s really great that Roberts put out that statement”. NOOO mom. He is one of the reasons we are in this fucking mess. He is not a hero
It is amazing that SCOTUS had such poor foresight. Once they made the ruling that gave him free rein what did they think was going to happen? He doesn’t need them anymore, and once he is finished destroying the country do they think they will still be around?
Absolutely this! I mean, we can drag that bag of bones McConnell out and do the same thing..both of these men bear responsibility in the biggest most horrifying ways for what's happening in New America right now..they took away every speed bump..what did they think would happen?💙🦋
Exactly! Everyone always thinks they're Trump voters are finding out fast Trump doesn't give a🖕🏼about them, even if they did try to overthrow the U.S. govt for him & stomp out democracy all in the name of their Cult of Personality Leader.
All this freedom of speech is extremely limiting.
💯 now they find themselves trying to push back but the damage is already done. We need to vote out every GOP representative that enables this evil administration. #impeachtrump #lunatictrump
John Roberts has only ever believed in one thing: his own personal power. He's more polished than Trump or Musk, but driven by the same greed and insecurity. He was glad to play kingmaker, but resents being ignored or threatened by the one he elevated. He betrayed the constitution for nothing. 🤡
you know what gets me about this entire thing? all of it? these people are supposed to be our best & brightest, our most well-educated, our most civic minded... & they can't even stand up to a fucking baby bully. they can't see around corners. they can't think their way out of a paper bag. pathetic.
John Roberts along with far right judges on the Supreme Court created this monster. They are no better than Krasnov. They can deal with the problem they created.
Actually, I think it’s what he wanted. He helped Bush steal the election from Gore in Florida (as did Kavanaugh and Coney-Barrett) and that’s who he is-a unitary executive guy who believes the GOP should always win. But he wants the respect a non-partisan scholar on SCOTUS deserves. That’s not him.
“We hold that the Leopards Eating Faces Doctrine applies to the members of this Court. It is axiomatic that while we may discriminate at will, the leopards do not.”
Exactly. I am wondering how his total immunity for dear leader ruling will work for him when it limits the Supreme Court's ability to vote down any lawlessness.
I wrote to Senator Murkowski asking her to consider temporarily caucusing with the Dems, at least until Trump is out, to save our nation. I asked that she gather a few more I th Senate and House.
It's all people who think this way, such selfish isolated out of touch idiots. It just shows you can be "smart" but have the emotional intelligence of a 2 yr old. Also he probably just put that out there for "show" he's probably delighted at what's happening.
I mean, I definitely support him speaking out. If it needs to be this asshole to get some slow or stop some to some of this shit, so be it. But it's definitely fafo
Maybe they thought he would never get elected again & their decision wouldn't have any consequences in the future. Oopsies. The perfect shit storm. Many are afraid of the orange shit-gibbon.They helped make this nightmare.
Exactly. He's just afraid he'll be targeted for impeachment the first time he impedes Truskers, plus he's the only one still thinking he might have a decent legacy. Guess what, Roberts? You erased that possibility long ago.
Nobody is off limits for Trump. If they dont fall in line he will go after them. He is mentally ill & senile, none of their jobs are safe. And you are so right, they dont give a shit about anything he does until it comes knocking on their door.
Perfectly stated.i think the dimmed light in Roberts just went to high beam. He just realized Trump got everything he wanted and needed from him and the bribed ones. The Supreme Court is no longer relevant impeachments are beginning.
Those leopards are getting fatter every day. A chief justice face would be particularly delicious seeing as it was roberts who let them out of the cage #FAFO

Here we are…
1) Trump goes full dictator and no longer needs judges, so Roberts loses power.
2) Impeachment of judges becomes a common thing, Democrats retake power, Roberts is impeached, Roberts loses power.
Or is he just vying for increasing his bribe rate?
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me.”
America is literally on a precipice, reliant on the whims of six unelected justices to save it, and them, from itself.
Think about that.
🍊💩🤡 is sooner or later going after him and his SCOTUS.
Congressional math makes him unimpeachable. SCOTUS has made him above the law.
Roberts is irrelevant.
DJT is a despot ruling by EO's and issuing tariffs on a whim. He ignores the judiciary because he can.

What will John Roberts say?
That has come and gone.
He had his play time, now he needs to act like an adult.

The poisonous snake bit ME??!

Shout out to @muellershewrote.bsky.social
I'm expecting he'll be hiding behind a grandchild the next time in public.
Isn't that what all these Conservative Alpha men do.
He can't be impeached due to Congressional math. He has no reason to abide by judicial rulings.
Now Roberts is upset by DJT's rants? DJT doesn't care.
Roberts also has refused to establish ethics standards for SCOTUS. He has no moral position.
The court of kings.
Thank YOU #ChuckShumer!
We want to hear NOTHING - other than “I RESIGN”
That’s right @schumer.senate.gov - we’re all waiting for YOUR #MOMENT
We all should do the same!
He still is, but he used to be too.
Just too stupid to know that trashident Trump doesn't know loyalty.
