Charles JohnsonIt’s not enough that they have the power to unilaterally strip away the rights of millions of people based on far right bullshit ideology, they want us to LIKE it.

Suecris@Green_Footballs They don't care if we like it, they want us to PRETEND to like it. I was raised in an abusive household, was made to "smile" after a spanking. Was given a fat lip if I didn't smile properly. Same thing.

ニルス・スキニール@Green_Footballs Roberts is the worst and most corrupt Chief Justice since Taney (see Dred Scott decision). He must be criticised at every turn. Even POTUS should do it.
JL Roberson@Green_Footballs I'll fucking criticize ANYTHING I disagree with if I want to. It's not because I want to disagree for its own sake like it was some kind of rhetorical cocaine, which seems to be his patronizing implication. Roberts is not a high priest and no one has to stop discussing any issue whatsoever.
TengrainCleo —the Muse of History— is buying Eiron —the Goddess of Irony— a drink for that one.
Darwin Woodka@Green_Footballs maybe they should stop making incorrect stupid decisions then
AngryAndrewWhat's actually going on is a chess game.
The Democrats could have, and should have, pushed national legislation to keep abortion legal years ago... instead they relied on a controversial case law and seem ...are they lazy????
The Supreme Court's job is not to enact legislation—that's the actual job of Congress.
So, why would the Democrats be asleep at the wheel on such an important topic?
Well, Democrats are good at fear mongering their base, (just as the Republicans are good at your mongering the right). Democrats have used abortion as a hot button issue for decades as a way to get you to vote for the candidates that they shove on the ballot.
For that reason, they had no motivation to make it into law, they wanted it to be "ever in jeopardy". It kind of backfired and now people are going to be hurt.
Abortion, and guns, are the hot button issues that get the rallying cries. They are tools of manipulation.
So..., pass the popcorn.... The show's getting interesting...

Renée@AngryAndrew No, this gives the Dems far too much credit. It wasn't some masterful strategy to keep their base scared; they were too busy being scared themselves of proposing bold divisive legislation that might peel off votes they didn't actually have anyway from the center, and of failing to pass it. Because they kept trying "bipartisanship," a horrible strategy where the Republicans danced backwards and the Dems were expected to follow for some reason.
John@Green_Footballs they sure can talk fancy though
Keith Ivey@Green_Footballs The actual quote continues with "as going beyond the proper role of the judiciary", so it's not quite as ridiculous as the truncated version. It's still nothing new though, and something conservative justices have done plenty of for decades.

Roberts takes aim at liberal justices in defending Supreme Court’s legitimacy
Chief Justice John Roberts’s majority opinion striking down the Biden administration’s student debt relief plan ended with a note taking aim at the court’s liberal justices in defending the Supreme Court’s legitimacy. Justice Elena Kagan authored the liberal justices’ dissent in the court’s final opinion of the term, delivering a blistering rebuttal to the court striking down…
SpicewallaThe narcissistic mind is fundamentally driven by insecurity. It needs a constant supply of external validation, else it feels like a loser.
For guys like that, validation is more important than anything else. Which is why billionaires and evangelicals privately pamper them with little outings and praise parties like in that goofy-ass "dogs playing poker" style painting of thomas and buddies.
The flip side is that they are easily bullied. We should bully them more.
Bodhipaksa@Green_Footballs What he said was "It has become a disturbing feature of some recent opinions to criticize the decisions with which they disagree as going beyond the proper role of the judiciary."
That's very different in meaning from the truncated quote in the graphic.

He's really revealed himself to be the right wing political operative that he always was. The Roberts court will be the last as the United Statesf, they will destroy this country as we know it.

JMaverickJacks1@Green_Footballs That comment from Chief Justice Roberts suggests that he doesn’t understand the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment. Free speech is not a bug in democracy; it’s a feature!
P.Michael@Green_Footballs The massive sense of entitlement and hubris the conservative justices display is so dangerous to us,but also the seeds of their undoing.
DuaneHere@Green_Footballs They seem to be drunk on power.
Rick Thoman@Green_Footballs So presumably the Chief Justice believes it is "disturbing" the any member of the SCOTUS would dare write a dissenting opinion on any case before the court.
