John Roberts: Wahh! Wahh! You People Don't Understand Us! [View all]

Roberts complained at a conference of lawyers in Hershey, Pennsylvania, according to the report.

By Susie Madrak — May 7, 2026
John Roberts is having a little hissy fit over how Americans view the court as "truly political actors." He also added that the court takes great effort to "figure out what the Constitution means," even though he acknowledged that some of the court's decisions are "unpopular.

Roberts made the comments at a conference of lawyers in Hershey, Pennsylvania, according to the report.

“I think at a very basic level, people think we’re making policy decisions, [that] we’re saying we think this is what things should be as opposed to this is what the law provides,” Roberts said. “I think they view us as truly political actors, which I don’t think is an accurate understanding of what we do. I would say that’s the main difficulty.”
