'John Roberts has had enough': Analysts say Supreme Court just put Trump on notice

https://www.rawstory.com/supreme-court-trump-2676478321/

Speaking this week at Rice University in Houston, Roberts suggested that criticism of court rulings can become problematic when it shifts “from a focus on legal analysis to personalities.”

“Their opinions are subject to criticism,” Roberts said of judges across the judiciary during the appearance on Tuesday. “But personally directed hostility is dangerous, and it’s got to stop.”

Analysts view the remarks from the conservative justice – who Trump has targeted, most recently for his ruling involving the president’s tariff policy – as a thinly veiled response to the MAGA leader.

“In one 48-hour period, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, the chief judge of the United States Supreme Court, and the Chief Judge of all things federal in the District of Columbia, all took on Donald Trump,” Michael Popok, a legal expert and host of the "Legal AF" podcast, said Friday.

“And John Roberts, it looks like he's had enough,” he added.

Does not deserve any positive recognition. Fuck Roberts and fuck Republicans.

Justice Roberts is only asserting the barest presentiments of resistance to executive and political overreach into his domain. It is only recognizable because the other coequal branch leadership (i.e. Speaker Johnson and Leader Thune) have thoroughly abandoned their own authority.

Roberts isn't really doing anything, he's just vaguely inertial and grave and deeply concerned about his own legacy.

He wants to be worshipped as some kind of perfect human.

But he’s a judge, not a high priest. He needs to get over himself. (And to stop making that lip quivering baby face. Jeezus, that face pisses me off…lol.)
