Judge Tigar’s refusal to support POTUS makes US the next Tijuana as “dangerous, messy, ungrateful, invasive, financially draining ... “ migrants now become our problem. Honest American citizens will be compelled to protect what Judge Tigar has put at risk. How can this end well?
I think it is strange that it is ok for a strong conservative judge makes statements that liberals agree with are ok but liberals never agree with anything conservatives support.
You’re no better than Trump. In fact at least he’s honest about he feels. John Roberts is just out for popularity points with his outspokenness. All you Trump haters, if you stood back and looked at yourselves objectively, would see how pathetic you all are.
John Roberts... for one sitting on the highest court in the land your naivety is astonishing.
wanna bet
Thankful Chief Justice Roberts is speaking up. realDonaldTrump Let's not forget the Roberts family is paying the ultimate price as crime victims. The root? Racism and discrimination. I interviewed the killer. He needed/wanted money. SCOTUS
Justice Roberts, to make such an untrue statement, you are either naive, sheltered or blackmailed. No matter which, you are wrong. obama judges are everywhere trying to hurt this administration and the American people/laws/Constitution.
Surely Justice Roberts is not so naive or sheltered to believe what he just said. It is obvious 2 the public that the 9th circus in Ca. only wants 2 cause problems 4 conservatives (Trump) and reverse everything he does 2 help and protect America. They protect ILLEGALS, not us.
Chief Justice Roberts I also disagree that r judges r not Obama judges. It is also very evident what kind of a judge you are
topspinlob77 yep, topspinlob77 ,opening the door to SCOTUS ByLaws for curtailment of abuse / or disbandment of the 9thCircuit ......I'd say realDonaldTrump has winning tactics...tactics...tactics!
Yet he NEVER pushed back on Obama. Give me a break.
Judges have too often allowed their political ideology to cloud their objective interpretation of the law. If judges were neutral and interpreted the law, rather creating it, people would stop referring to them by the president who nominated them.
I have the greatest respect for the chief justice but he is living in a fantasy world when he describes the judicial branch of government as a collection of fair-minded, independent, Constitution-loving umpires just following the law.
They are judges who want open borders, globalist! Bush is the one who signed agenda 21! Not America first for definitely!
When the Chief Justice feels a need to defend the judicial branch of government from attacks by the executive branch, our country has a problem.
Attorneys jump to file far Left cases in 9th Circuit where decisions are affected by personal views & politics (who appointed them). Americans are not as gullible as media and politicians (now judges) would like. Free thinking informed citizens reject harmful Left ideology.
Steinle, G.R., Jamiel Shaw and Bologna Children, J.W., Sheriff D. Oliver, Det. M. Davis, Josh Wilkerson, Baby Reedy, And THOUSANDS of VICTIMS have been KILLED by ILLEGAL Undocumented immigrants for YEARS Before Donald Trump Ever thought of Running for President, and Many
A judge in San Francisco Dismisses a court case on a mother whose husband and two children were MURDERED by an ILLEGAL Immigrants, and then a Judge Rewards an 'ILLEGAL' Immigrant with $190,000 because he was ILLEGAL and detained. THATS PATHETIC and there is NO JUSTICE
fart
We are grateful for our 3 equal branches of Government that follow our Constitution of the United States of America! For that I give thanks. Also I want to give thanks to our armed forces and our Free Press! Happy Thanksgiving!
Justice Roberts has gone to far! By making a political statement he’s politicized the court! Americans lose faith on integrity of SCOTUS and its ability to be fair and equal! He knows lower courts shouldn’t get involved in security matters! 🇺🇸retired Special Agent/veteran
Amen
'And we don't have good people or bad people, or thrifty people or thieves. And everyone is above average, and can I go out and play now?'
The migrant invasion is an orchestrated and executed invasion. I have no idea how anyone cannot see it. So, these migrants all decided to get up one morning and invade the United States? A few people, maybe 100 or so but not thousands. They called each other the night before?
Someone needs to tell ChiefJusticeRoberts that 87% of the 9th circuits cases over overturned by his own SCOTUS because the 9th Circuit is replete with Activist Judges. As usual POTUS is Right Again.
What Chief Justice Roberts said is how it should be, independent, but that is not what we have now-We have activist judges in various courts
Damn all political judges. 😡. He’s just miffed he won’t be able to legislate from the bench anymore. . . 😉
I am so (not) impressed that ABCNews would go to the trouble of tweeting a graphic about this. DemocratsAreDangerous DemocratsAreCorrupt
Justice Roberts making his own case irrelevant, and his 'extraordinary' seat, less than ordinary, siding with the 79% 'extraordinary' failure rate of his peers in the 9th circuit!
So why do Republicans block the appointment of judges and justices by Democrats then push hard to get every pasty-ass Federalist frat boy in, regardless of resume, temperament or qualifications? Roberts likes the veneer of 'Jurist', but he is the poster boy for partisan hacks.
Regardless of agree or not, these 700 or so lower level judges have a huge amt of power to single handedly reverse a pres order nation wide.
Well, he’s wrong. Because the 9th circuit is a liberal court and most everyone knows that to be a fact.
Trump was elected (THANK GOD). American people have an expectation to know what he thinks....like it.. or not. Justice Roberts is doing a injustice to the court, and to the Executive Office by running his mouth. WHAT HE THINKS should ONLY be regarding his decisions..
Except of course for Citizens United. But you know, balls and strikes, right guys?
Thank you Chief Justice Roberts, for trying to educate Trump. His ignorance of the law is truly appalling.
Go Judge Roberts! Perfect response.
Trump is right..... the Federal Judges in the ninth district are biased and a disgrace !
More True Americans need to find the backbone like Justice Roberts to speak Truth to trump’s LIES & Denegrading of Our Institutions! Trump’s a COWARD & the CongressionalGOP enable & coconspire with trump to fray the Constitution & make moves to a Dictatorship. Lock HIM UP!
The liberal bias is so very evident in the decisions of the 9th circuit. The court is obviously intentionally making improper decisions. Time to replace these so-called judges.
President Trump need to focus on the country and not worry about the Justice Roberts
710KURV True, but the reality of the fact is that’s the way it is unfortunately. Why else do you think BHO replaced all Bush appointed judges with his own? Do you thank that a Clinton or BHO judge would side w/this president? If did, the media would persecute him/her. realDonaldTrump
Isn't it strange that Roberts who is supposed to be a Conservative has turned out to be leaning left in his decisions...Just look at all the Left leaning judges that Obama deliberately put into office so he could block Trump at every opportunity..
This is just complete proof that we have complete morons in our Supreme Court! I was aware all along.
in 2010 Houssien Obama criticized the whole supreme court in the state of the union right on front of all of them . the Chief Justice J Robert his mouth was full of shit then . didn’t say a word. J Robert this’s for you 🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿
Isn't it so silly to obey all laws? Why not pick and choose? When some law fits why not wear it for a while? When it gets grimy why not tear it all apart like some forbidden gate into the garden of Gethsemane?
Hey Justice Roberts, when Obummer criticized you & other courts for adverse judgments against his policies why is it that you never “clapped back” THEN? Asking for a friend..... impartialmyarse
Wrong, the 9th Circus is a complete Partisan Circus. Also Chief Justice John Roberts DID NOT way in when Obama criticized judges' decisions.
marygribbin809 I respectfully disagree with the Chief Justice. He does have extremely partisan judges, like Brett Kavanaugh.
We're not supposed to but we do even in the supreme court Obama's appointees vote based on socialist ideology, not the constitutions. I don't trust Roberts instead of ruling on Obamacare he tells the Dems it won't pass under the commerce clause but would as a tax
Isn't this judge right? Is not the best way might? Is that gate closed to you? Must you get permit in? Why not just break that gate? Won't Roberts be there too? Won't Roberts protect you?
I think what set Judge Roberts off to begin with was the Turkey pardoning speech in which he mentions the 9th circuit.
YES JUDGE ROBERTS!
Roberts was wrong and America knows it. As usual, Trump laid a truthbomb!
How can one judge rule for the all of America. Especially one of the judges from the west coast or better known obama coast
1964Deplorable Progressive bullies are not rare.
He should kept silent like he did when obama criticized the supreme court. Of course the media won’t report when that happened.
Roberts is wasting his words on The POTUS as he is unquestionably an imbecile. Furthermore he slurs his words indicative of a mental disorder.
Because realDonaldTrump believes he should control all aspects. Sorry, orange Hitler-wannabe, that's not how America was set-up. ImpeachTrump CongressDoYourJob
What a LIE !!! Judge Roberts needs to keep his opinions to himself. Plenty of liberal judges out there San Francisco Portland Oregon California. Give me a break !! Who is he trying to fool ?
kstreet111 Well said
F you John Roberts!!!
The emtire supremem court needs to disverdit that donald to shut him up. He is temporary you are long term don't let jim brat the court into subserient submissiin
What’s amazing is that historically US policies on immagrations has always been we controlled our sovereignty, choosing who’ able to come in. Only the last 30-40 years under progressive actives has this come into question. So don’t tell us liberalism doesn’t have cause & effect
Weird how everyone can predict the 5-4 decisions and most every 9th circuit outcome. hughhewitt LegInsurrection politics
POTUS is right to call out the 9th district court. This court has the most verdicts overturned by the SupremeCourt than any other district court. They are activists judges who don't rule on the intent of the law, but rather on their biased interpretation.
Thank you so much for standing up for all the judges in our country. And speaking how the system should work. I’m and older black woman unfortunately I know the system is not just. Hopefully with judges like you it will become a Just system for all thanks
Itkaleya And please, please, please never let this change.
What Chief Justice John Robert's said is just outright bullsh!t. If it was the least bit true then the outrageous number of DNC MEMBERS lawsuits would be heard in any courtroom & not just in the 9th, 5th & Hawaii courts every time LIBERALS want the ruling in their favor.
21 millions legitimate African refugees need protection. Why are these federal judges not concerned about it? Is it because they are against black refugees? TheJusticeDept jimmyfallon BarackObama realDonaldTrump RealCandaceO taylorswift13 MONUSCO hrw Variety ddlovato
With all due respect Justice Roberts if the courts are not biased then why does the GOP spend so much time and effort to make sure that their nominees get in?
His words would carry more weight if there weren't so many predictable 5-4 decisions, but the record speaks for itself. He's a traitor and a crook, but Trump is pulling the curtain back. Desperate people often attempt to deflect from themselves by exposing others.
Respectfully false JusticeRoberts
John Roberts is a hack. Obamacare was not constitutional yet he sided with liberal judges that do not interpret laws but make laws out of thin air.
Yeah sure that’s why the 9th Circuit is over turned 80% of the time. Smh. Trash!
I agree that all 9 work hard. However, can someone dig up the Chief Justice's remarks after Pres. Obama publicly rebuked Justice Alito during a State of the Union?
So you’re saying President Trump’s statement was “taxing”?
I think Chief Justice Roberts is looking through rose colored glasses. It’s not the job of the judges to make law.
And judge John Roberts is one big dam lair.
Chief Justice Robert's is defending the judiciary but neglects to acknowledge that far left liberal judges often exceed their authority and attempt to legislate!
Excellent independent view by Chief Justice of SCOTUS. Just the way Sir your ruling was for Obama Care 👍 & LGBT rights 👍 When the Republicans were sure with their majority in SCOTUS both the rulings will be in their favor 😜as you were appointed by The Republican President.
Thankful for Judge Roberts!
Who would’ve guessed ChiefJusticeJohnRoberts is really a swamp agent⁉️ DrainTheDeepState KeepAmericaGreat 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Chief Justice John Roberts u really make yourself look bad defending those judges-the trouble is that their are so many of these Obama people in place & they have no honor-it's a shame-Obama did a job on our country-Judge Roberts I'mnot blaming u
Judge Roberts first four words are wrong. Instead of saying 'We do not have', should instead be 'We are not supposed to have'. If he thinks their is no liberal activist judges, then he must be incredibly naive. Surely not, but he sounds as if he were so.
Anyone who believes Chief Justice Roberts' statement about the judiciary must also believe in the Great Pumpkin. What an ass!
An uphill battle against globalists.
ErielleReshef Raise your hand if you still haven't forgiven John Roberts for Obamacare
No thanks
Thank you immensely Justice Roberts! 3 branches of government for a reason
Dear John Roberts, Trump is your party’s leader Own it
And then there's Brett Kavanaugh
So I guess we can call Kavanaugh a crooked Trump judge? And all other judges trump appoints are crooked? Hasn't everyone claimed that kav wouldn't rule by party? Double standard
Great, but the GOP judges on the Supreme Court have proven to be partisans in many cases, including Roberts’ stay of the remedies in the NC gerrymandering case, giving us another gerrymandered result; Bush v Gore, Citizens United; Voting Rights.
Doesn't anyone find it strange how most justices vote favorably more often than not to the party that put them on the bench? And if this were so then why do the Dems try to derail any Republican nominee.
Nothing new here. Trump is the only president that everyone speaks out against. Since when does a SCOTUS judge, let alone the Chief Justice, make public comments about a sitting President. At least we now know where he stands
That sound you hear is a collective “thank you”. A surprised thank you but a grateful one nonetheless.
Sure we studied it in school but now we all are Living Learning how Democracy works, how our Constitution works, how quickly we can lose freedoms we take for granted. And the power of a free people and a FreePress.
Shame on him
Roberts is wrong-again. Why do the anti-Trumpees bring all their cases to the 9th circuit judges?
Thanks for speaking up! So many allow POTUS to spread his hatred & lies. God Bless America & Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁
Apart from 'all' sounds like 'i' in Orange mammal language
Please don’t let everyone in our country everyone thinks the government pays for things we do we have to work two or three jobs to support ourselves and everybody moving in to this country stop the madness
Too much to expect Roberts to be above this? Your politics are showing Roberts.
Federal Judges in America are composed of rich, eliet Attorneys that think they are better than the poor, and working class. The deny Pro Se Litigants access to the Courts. Veterans, poor, and working people have no rights because of Judge Roberts.
Thank you!
Sorry ... not true ... look what we went through with Kavanaugh. Be realistic!
sedakennedy Somebody forgot to tell POTUS that the Supreme Court is not his personal legal team. They're supposed to be OURS.
The judge was appointed by Obama. What would or should we call him, a Bush judge?
An arbiter of the law puts an ignorant president in his place. Thank you JohnRoberts for schooling him on the judiciary.
Are you going to find him in contempt of court and have him removed from office?
Obviously he didn’t watch the Kavanaugh conformation process.
Well his charm wore off. Didn't take long.
If they keep getting it wrong in that circuit, they are not even good. That's piss poor performance.
Wish his statement was true. Not all judges are
JeremiahOshan About time. He forgets that he leads the Judiciary
🇺🇸..WE should thank the almighty that the Chief Justice's facial expression convey greater humility‼️Or is he diffident about his legal wisdom/knowledge⁉️🤣(...with due respect and in all humility: this is just a simple/feeble attempt to create a VIRAL CONTROVERSY for US Uplift🤣
Thank you Justice Rogers. Please protect us from this mad man.
robmir47 Did I just hear Chief Justice Roberts say back off 45?
He speaks of what SHOULD be, not what IS. The rate of the 9th Circuit being overturned (something around 79%) is well known. Roberts's statement is disingenuous.
Go home Roberts! Hypocrite!!
Trumps alienating the Military. Now it's the Justice Department. He's not going to have many friends left.
Judge Robert's has no business supporting an anti American unpatriotic Obama appointed judge. POTUS was right the 9th circuit is a joke not a court! Scotus Don't lie to the American people about this lawless circuit court!
Bs
Roberts is CLEARLY wrong.
What a load of B S! Of Course there r Obama judges of which Roberts IS ONE
Next weeks headline: Trump asks his White House Lawyer how he can fire Chief Justice Roberts.
Giving corporations person-hood analogous to giving slave owners ownership of people..
Well all the judges but Gorsuch
Wrong...9th Circus is a LIBERAL kangaroo court
Roberts said nothing when Obama rebuked Alito... wow! Way to show your partisan Roberts!
They sat on Obama's EO's for years...they sprint to work to say NO to Trump's....diabolical
Don’t insult the American people. It’s so obvious that the ninth circuit judges are a wing of the democrat party, that’s why cases opposed to trumps policies are always filed there.Trump is 100% correct
Does it hurt
You mite want to get this thuggish Trump Trash out of the WH ? Before he kills our Democracy.
So how does the chief justice explains the abysmal overturn rate for 9 circuit Court of appeals? Reality is that there is a black holes in that circuit and burying the head in the sand will not address that.
JusticeRoberts has spoken like a true globalist puppet appointed by a GlobalistGrandWizard GeorgeWBush -Known open borders-Warmonger who followed his father before him & preempted Obama after him to kill Mid-East leaders to flood the West w/the Third World- now defending same.
Liar liar liar
He*
President Trump couldn't even define the word impartial if were asked on a live feed. He would evade and berate the reporter all based off his disillusion.
Apparently Judge Roberts doesn't have a clue as to what is happening in the 9th circuit.
sdelladonna So ironic that Trump cries that these judges are partisan yet the GOP and himself went so beyond overboard to have a very like minded conservative i.e. Kavannaugh voted in as a SCOTUS. The irony plays on
Justice Roberts should resign. The President is right.
Some judges are crooked
My President
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong! And now we know who you are. Too bad. You picked the wrong side. JFKJRLIVES
Would be great if it was true. We'll see in the coming months, if Mueller is allowed to finish his investigation. Will the SCOTUS let Trump off the hook?
Seems Roberts is worried about his legacy.....hmmmmm, little late for that!
We do however have Morons appointed by Obama.
Had to reread like 10 times trying to find the part that ANYBODY could actually take issue with. 🤔
Trump is correct. Obama Judge!
Attaboy, Roberts.
Roberts - evidently you think it’s noble for judiciary to craft law. It’s aweful how the 9th spends so much energy making provision for those that break immigration law. 89 % of the 9th’s work is overturned so don’t puke your noble bullshit about equal best!
Yeah we actually do have Obama judges.
Only a liberal activist judge would rule against Trump’s Constitutional power on immigration. The law is extremely clear. realDonaldTrump ChecksAndBalances immigration CaravanInvasion Scotus
Brave man who could be changing the course of history. TRUMPMUSTGO
This is a test on the United States Constitution. In future, just like Legislative Branch, Judicial Branch may also have Chief Justice (D) and Chief Justice (R)
John Roberts was wrong in his statement about judges not being political. That's BS. Judges show their political views all the time. Think back on Ginsberg's comments about Trump.
Bush appointed him and America has paid for it ever since! Have another swig
Oh please.
You are incorrect John Roberts. You know it and so does ABC. And thanks for Obamacare
ChiefJustice0 why wouldn’t you eat to protect the border from the influx of illegals coming in . As a judge the word illegals already makes the statement or I should also be able to do illegal things. Are You not appointed to protect the American people or the world .
The federal judiciary is not defensible on any ground. Not one of them knows the meaning of a republican government which they took oaths to uphold.
For a Judge in his position, I would have thought him smarter. JohnRoberts
Roberts is living in fairy tale land if he thinks each justice isn’t closely associated with the administration that selected him/her. If not, why are the hearings and votes so contentious, especially this last one? The judge needs to get out of his bubble. SupremeCourt
Likely reason is that the attention will likely taint the already partisan rulings and 45 is just not bright enough to shut up! LOL
A rare rebuke? He can feel free to weigh in anytime. Ginsburg didn't hold back with her extremely critical and public anti Trump comments. Don't dare give us your impartial judge BS. Trumps saying the truth. Obama had the whole damn federal govt in his pocket. Judges and all.
Thank you, Chief Justice, for assuring us that the judicial branch has nothing to do with political parties and everything to do with justice for all. Millions of us need that reassurance in these divisive times. democracy
Thank you Justice Roberts for putting this FOOL in his place
Wow! Trump at the top of his arrogant-stupid game. But keep tweeting, Bozo! When Mueller hands down the indictments, if the criminal conspiracy and obstruction case goes to SCOTUS, you’ll be facing Roberts and the other justices you have alienated.
Mr. Roberts that’s a ridicules statement and you know it. It’s more than obvious judges apply their bias. Why I never 😡
The judges legislating from the bench are impotent against the invasion, our country is under siege and a mass of men waving their national flags are demanding to be admitted to this country, for what? What is the purpose of our military and our defense?
What we have is a political party, so corrupt, so self-serving, so greedy for power and so absent with any regard to the Constitution or for humankind, that they are running the risk of the electorate pushing them (hopefully) into the dustbin of non-relevant political parties.
POTUS RULE FOR BORDER WAS VERY FAIR... PROTECTING TEXANS.... UNTIL AN IDIOT JUDGE PUT HIS Two Cents in & LESSENED TEXANS SAFETY!!
So SHAMEFUL OF JOHN ROBERTS TO WEIGH IN ON THIS IN A POLITICAL WAY! He knows damn good an well judges have been politically motivated ! Absolutely SHAMEFUL ! He now has shone a Politcal bias an should step down from the Supreme Court !
Thank you Chief Justice Roberts!
Truth, this us called ONE Country
I hope all the members of the Highest Court in the USA live up to this. Politics and party have no place in any courtroom. America is supposed to be different & better!
CaffreyEj Finally grew some balls
It is about time people stood up this lunatic!
Thank you!
Awesome statement by our Chief Justice!!!
hahahah Thank you Chief Obama Justice John Roberts, continue writing comedy you have the knack for it. A 5 year old could make better constitutional judgments than you, but hey the robe looks really fancy. obamajudges
Donald Trump is an Unnamed Co-conspirator complicit in crimes 2defraud t/United States of America. Whenever he opens his mouth &his dentures don't fall out-shit flies out instead. &let us not forget t/he is a COMPROMISED PEDOPHILE blatantly being BLACKMAILED by Putin.
Good job he is a witch
Yes sir, we are behind a free and independent judiciary! johnroberts_CJ ChecksandBalances ForeFathersUnderstood ForeFathersSawThisDay
Well why does the 9th circuit get overturned 80% of the time, even in baseball if your only successful 20% of the time your a failure
If Justice Roberts actually believes there isn't Bush, Obama & Trump Judges that rule accordingly I have some swamp land here in Florida along with some scorched acreage out in California I'd like to talk about selling him.
Sorry you are wrong. Just look at the nutty ninth. What percentage of their wacky decisions have been overturned? abc
We Americans hope and pray that chief justice Kevin all will not be willing to break the law due to the favor The Godfather of lawbreakers gave him the job in America no man is above the law ignorance is no excuse to the law
This view is ridiculous. The 9th are mostly liberal ideologues.
His comment is demonstrably false. Hard to believe he is dumb enough to make such a statement. The reversal rate of the 9th is proof of a serious problem. They are not random, and are consistently reversed from their activist rulings. The stats support that.
And the 9th is overturned 79% of the time, and the 6th at 87% overturn rate. How can judges get it wrong that many times? The weatherman has a better average than that!
He’s a liar.
Obama went after Judge Alito and NOT ONE justice said anything.....Hmmmmmm
Thank you, Mr. Chief Justice. When we lose the independence of the judiciary, we lose our democracy.
Roberts is wrong. POTUS is correct according to the evidence
Doesn’t Chief Justice Roberts see a pattern of anti POTUS policy to protect America by the 9 th Circuit Court? It seems to many the so-called powerless Judicial Branch of govt has become a tool of the liberal Democrats.
Except drunken Brett Kavanaugh, who is, infact, a Trump Judge.
CJ Roberts wants to pretend Obama’s corrupt lawless Judges are NOT 100% political? What crap! If Roberts wants us to believe they aren’t political he should stop playing politics. Rather than pick a fight w Trump who’s telling the TRUTH go stop these 100% political Obama Judges!
The judge should not have done this. Bill Bennett just set this thing and strength out . On past judges. judgejohnroberts realDonaldTrump he said POTUS was correct SandraSmithFox in what he said.
Who cares?
They’re all Welfare Moochers. Send them all back.
Robert Justice is a globalist. Don't love his on people
Thank You Chief Justice Roberts. This was much needed. The independence of the Supreme Court is in doubt as a group and as a branch. The press has to take some responsibility for this. 5-4 decisions are very common and give the appearance of partisanship. We need to work on that.
Guess what 3 other Presidents. Did the same went against the Supreme Court. Look it up. The DC have been trying to change the 9 circuit court for years. What judge can go against a order for the hole country it’s wrong. SandraSmithFox DA
Justice Roberts, meet Justice GrabEmByThePussy Kavanaugh.
Sorry Justice Roberts, you're wrong on this one. You may be blind but justice certainly is not.
And we also have unicorns and fairies and leprichauns
Trump attacks all the entities that can provides checks and balances on his lies and corruption. A shame his sheep are too busy worshiping him to see it.
Independent judiciary? Wish we had one. I don't like Trump's judges. ⚖️👨🏽⚖️👨🏽⚖️
It’s for Presidents to decide.
I never thought I'd say this, but, 'Hooray for Chief Justice John Roberts!'
Oh yes we do have Obama judges. Remember ObamaCare? Pointing directly at YOU Justice Roberts!
Is Justice Roberts so naive or only defending the institution 'because of' the obvious? Obstinate! Clearly there are activist judges, politically & idiologicaly motivated. Some mailiciously ruling to impede & attack POTUS. Changes are needed to fasttrack SCOTUS appeals! MAGA
It is about time that the suprime court discipline that repulsive orange man....
Judge Roberts was blackmailed by Obama to sign the Obama health care, he knows all about being as Obama's judge.
Trump systematically trying to delegitimize judges appointed by Democrats. This is an assault on the judiciary and another attempt to poison minds in his base against the rule of law when it rules against him. It is unconstitutional and insane narcissism.
Rather then telling the president how extraordinary the group is it would be so much.better if you showed him. I think we all believe the Supreme Court Judges are the pinnacle of judges but the judges below that keep showing exactly what your commenting on is getting ridiculous
Too little and too late. The judiciary has always been a partisan tool. Citizen United is perfect example. Now it is Trump's tool. Too bad for most of us. Government by the minority is going to get worse.
Can’t really agree with Chief Justice Roberts when you see so many liberal Judges make rulings based on the way They think it should be .
Justice Roberts is wrong, sadly. So many decisions are simply anti-Trump, not based on law, but personal opinions.
Sorry Chief Justice I do not concur! There are too many holding up due process of legal issues that are not against the constitution! They are holding up to hold things up! Waste of tax dollars
Right On Chief Justice John Roberts☮️
Judge Roberts is Wrong in his definition...
If the judiciary is independent and not political, why did the left totally flip out over Brett Kavanaugh's nomination?
Yes!!
Justice Roberts should not comment or allude to an issue that may come before him. It is naive to think Obama appointed judges are independent. Most are committed liberals who inject their beliefs and often try to rewrite the law.
That may be the single biggest load of bull shit I have heard in a long time, even if they are not activist judges, which the 9th is, they have their biases everyone does.
*except for that Kavanaugh guy. He's Trump's man. There fixed it for him.
It's all having favorites and your not in favor in Trump.
This coming from the man who made Obamacare legal 🤬
ONE CERTAIN JUDGE IS NOT SO EXTRAORDINARY BUT KINDA JUST POLITICAL MOUTHING ORDINARY LIBERAL
President Trump is correct. There are leftists judges. That’s what the presidential election is really all about. Obama appointed as many leftist judges as he could. That’s a fact. Now Trump is trying to pull the courts back to the center.
Sure. Don’t believe your lying eyes.
Thank you Chief Justice.
He does not represent American people he's a true piece of work in the old days they would say he needs a good ass kicking
Too bad this not true at all! Obama’s judges are the most political hacks you will ever see! I wished they actually looked at our laws.
Except I do not see it . I see liberal judges being very one sided
Another loud mouthed liberals!

Thanks Justice Robert’s
I must say, regardless of how trump or the American people feel about Chief Justice, he is a real disappointment ever since he was placed into the position. Seems to be a super liberal. And we don't need liberal anything right now. Sorry!
Trump’s Scotus- control dream will be denied. Court needs to stay independent of criminal minds of MAGA.
Thank You Chief Justice ❤️🇺🇸
The ninth circuit is packed with liberal Obama judges that usually rule against anything Trump is for. They definitely don't have safety and security of the U.S. as their number 1 priority.
Independent Judiciary to do what? Legislate From the Bench! As you did! Making same-sex marriage the law of the land!
It is extremely rare for a SCOTUS judge to make a public statement such as this one. This should give people a clue as to the gravity of the situation and how far Trump is willing to go to spread false information.
If your ruling on same-sex marriage is not political I don't know what is! It's called legislating from the bench! And the ninth circuit does plenty of it!
How do you call it extraordinary when one judge is older than dirt and she supports legal consent at age 12?
Hallelujah
Thank you Justice Roberts for standing up for the judicial branch of our country. Thank you for supporting the rule of law. America owes you a debt of gratitude.
Yes it is rare because Obama dress down the whole Supreme Court on national TV including Kennedy and he just sat there and stone silence. So there is Obama liberal judges that are non constitutionalists in the ninth circuit
He is right!
Thanks Justice Roberts for showing the world that we are still a country composed of three equal branches of government. I pray for the Divine's continued shepherding his flock to a better Union during this stormy time. God bless and keep all who do the descent hard things.
Once again, Trump proves that he is unqualified to be the leader of the greatest democracy in the world. This rebuke by Justice Roberts is another nail in Trump's coffin. I hope America will finally rise up and demand Trump's impeachment, or cowardly resignation in early 2019.
That’d be okay if they were being equally fair and just.
realDonaldTrump Chief Justice Roberts for President!
finbarvano Do we need to make sure our Supreme Court Justices are under heightened security due to the careless words of our president?Serious Question🤔
My money is that either Breyer or Ginsburg will retire soon. Trump will get another nominee. (and the left will freak again)
Well John Roberts changed Obamacare to a tax
Roberts is delusional probably suffering from TDS
Thank you for standing up for our justice system and country!
Standing with the Chief Supreme Court Justice of the United States. Hang in there ChiefJustice0, this circus will pass
Cool idea--what if the legislature was independent? Man, that would be awesome MakeAmericaAmericaAgain
I stand with and in support of, our president of the United States of America voted in office by We the People.
Chief Roberts is partially right. There are no Obama, Bush or Clinton judges...but there are 2 trump judges, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. I’m sure they signed ‘loyalty’ pledges to get the appointment.
Y’all gotta stop pretending this guy isn’t a million/billionaire, just because he’s the president people that have money are generally dictators, they feel they’re rich they know better, Trump doesn’t care about rule of law, he’s an embarrassment.
John Poll Tax Roberts slamming Trump? Hard to pick a side in this battle. Just hoping they keep it up.
Says the judge against the president proudly promoted and endorsed by ABC news, of course. Lol. Nothing like revealing truth so clearly.
jfwilb Leftist much?
Politics is in the justice system. I thought justice was suppose to be blind.
Too bad Justice Roberts didn’t “speak up” when the horrendous Obamacare got jammed through! And is he so naive to believe that partisans don’t appoint judges based on ideology? If judges aren’t partisans, why does the left always appeal to the ideological 9th Circuit? Nice try JR
You have no idea how little we care . He screwed us with Obamacare, I can’t wait for Trumps next two judges. Roberts is a RINO.
Independent judiciary just might save us....from Trump
hell yeah!!!!!!
Kudos to Chief Justice Roberts!!! Well said and Thank You for taking the moral high ground.
What a crock. If that were true the media wouldn't have been so quick to point out a Trump appointed judge ruled against him recently.
Justice Robert's really believes his own bullshit, which is exactly what it is. If Robert's were correct, you crazy lunatic Democrats wouldn't have been trying so hard to derail Kavanaugh's appointment to the bench. Go away with your hypocrisy.
Boo hiss to u Roberts😝
With all due respect, Justice Roberts is delusional. We absolutely do have rogue Obama judges and they must be countered with constitutional conservatives who will actually INTERPRET the law rather than twist it for political gain.
So grateful for JJR.
SCOTUS, glad you are watching because you will be called upon to save our democracy.
Word 👍🏽 CJJR ⚖️ Justice
I want to know how corporations can be considered people when they can’t be held responsible under the same laws of the land I have am CitizensUnited
Truth hurts huh Chief Justice just like Acosta ruling its a privilege to be in white house
well apparently Justice Roberts is either naive or not very smart.
LOL independent? Now that’s cute
He’s toast. RBG in January...he to follow.
Congress, specially the GOP should follow suit so there’s still check and balance as enshrined in the constitution!
No surprise here, coming from a George Bush Jr. appointed Justice. For decades, political parties sent out brochures endorsing certain Justices or stating the endorsements given to certain Justices. We never did believe the fairy tales that Justices were not biased.
Hmm, not sure 🤔 about that statement. Will he deny the 9th Circuit does not lean liberal? And who appointed them?
Why he has caused many other comments judge don’t own this country. judgejohnroberts
When is Ronald Dump going to GROW up past the mental age of 4 and realize he was ' elected' President. He was not appointed Dictator! Nor was he appointed Supreme Twitter Master. Shut down his account so he will actually do something FOR THE NATION, rather than just himself .
IDIDITMYWAYNY STICK TO OUR CONSTITUTION AND THERE SHOULD NEVER BE ISSUES!!! But Some JUDGES MAKE THEIR OWN LAWS
Wrong Justice Roberts, We the people no longer believe in the fake fairy tales that Judges are not biased or make laws instead of interpretating the law, as they should. Why would every Democrat Gov, Pres stack the courts with liberal Judges that disregard the constitution.
Thank you Chief Justice Roberts!!!
Wrong Justice Roberts-explain why every Dem Gov, Pres stacks the courts with liberal Judges that disregard the constitution or render such bizarre interpretations of it, like preventing female genital manipulation is against the constitution. Complete Obama Judge nonsense!
Roberts should pull his head out of his ass, if he thinks the judiciary is an independent body free of bias and political ideology🤨
Says the Citizens United, contraception denying, voting rights overturning, etc. deciding judge.
Gee ya think the Clintons or obama have something on him? Remember the Obamacare debacle
Well said.Trump is behaving like a wounded Animal.
Wrong ! Totally Bias Time for Chef Justice John Roberts to RESIGN ChiefJusticeRoberts
That is how it is supposed to be unfortunately it is not
What a hiypccrit
markgeragos Judiciary is become too political.
Thank you justiceroberts for restoring the faith in the judicial system
Thank you Justice Roberts.
🤦🏽♀️
Another Bush appointment failure to the people!
I can’t wait until President Trump replaces him!
With all due respect to Justice Roberts, I hope to God he’s right because if judges are becoming activists for a political persuasion, the United States is in serious trouble. What’s worse, half of the people would accept it. It’s possible, he’s wrong.
Wrong, Judge. You’ve been an Obama(care) judge since you took the bench. MAGA Trump2020
Pretty ARROGANT of Judge Roberts to 'KNOW' by Mystical Powers the True motivation of a Collective of Judges especially THOSE of the NOTORIOUS 9th Circuit Is it ESP or DOES The DeepState Really HOLD something EXTREMELY SINISTER Over This 'Good' Judge's HEAD? DrainTheSwamp MAGA
Thank you Chief Justice John Roberts.
I beg to differ!
Is Chief Justice John Roberts the judge who SOLD his SEAT to Trump?
cyncitylimits Well Trumpy why don’t you go home to your high riser in the city. Oh that’s right, they will probably run you out of NYC when you’re no longer the Dictator of the USA.
right on judge roberts think you for doing your job !!!.
Except of course we do have Trump judges, at the very least we have a Trump judge. You'll remember him because he's a raging asshole who likes beer?
GOP:did you pissed your pants again? realDonaldTrump: you guys wanna get paid? BarackObama: so Putin owns you, MoBS owns you, who else? realDonaldTrump: don't say MoBS, take my masters name w respect MichelleObama: respect my dildo.
When will the judiciary follow our laws? Our president has a right to protect our borders. One judge is not our president. He has no right to question his keeping the USA safe from invasions.
This fool blows with the wind anyway
Then protect our country!
Thank you!!
Don’t you get it? Trump is testing the independence of the 3 branches of the gov’t. He already got 2 ... totally owning 3 makes him the most powerful man in the world!
President Trump is right.. You do have Obama Judges.. who always rule the liberal way.. Seen it for years..
Thanks for shoving Obamacare down America’s throat “Chief” Scalia was pissed, but dead men tell no tales
An 'extraordinary' group of cucks who can have their powers diluted by the executive branch of government. The people rejected globalism in both political parties and we the people know a 'Bush' globalist judge. We don't care what Mickey Mouse News thinks of realDonaldTrump
And Roberts said what when Obama disrespected the Supreme Court during his 2010 State of the Union? Can someone remind me?
Their not citizen of the USA so what construction rights do they have here ? It does not say we the people of the world .in big bold print but we the people of the USA . It just lib judge make their own laws as they go .
How nice it to read something written with intelligence. That makes sense. That is fair and good. That reads like an actual grown-up wrote it.
The same guy who help pass the VERY UNCONSTITUTIONAL Obamacare, by calling it a 'tax'...and a tax hike of such a magnitude which doesn't apply to all is also unconstitutional.
Will you stupid people stop following the division whistles? The world is not black and right. Left and Right. It's not that simple. It's not Trump Vs Deep State or MAGAs Vs Libs. It's the real world and only the simple minded think it's simple
❤️❤️ Justice For All In America Period.
They r going to let all these people in the USA. They need 2 come in the USA the right way. No matter what. if they want 2 get away from mean people DO IT THE RIGHT WAY. Take care of the people here first the homeless, the hungry. Instead of putting them out on the street. Sick.!
Keyword independent. Glad we have a system in place like our Supreme Court and they can’t all be dismissed like in Poland...
Now, Justice Roberts MUST SHOW that he’s independent of DT. Vote against any extreme case That comes before the SC by DJT Administration or simply refuse to even accept the case(s) and the lower court’s rulings will stand.
Means so much from someone who re-wrote obamacare because of political reasons. We have witnessed obama judges making political rulings . it is ignorant to deny it.
Not just a rare rebuke but unethical too! Justices are not supposed to engage in politics or public opinion. They are sworn by an oath to remain neutral..... Are the dems questioning this justices temperament? Seems a little double standardish to me.
FINALLY SOMEONE CAN SAY SOMETHING JUST.
No he isn’t. See John Warner’s push back on Roberts. Makes too much sense than the flaccid response from Roberts.
BrownRbjr2002, realDonaldTrump was wrong to make those commitments. This is why Education important. As POTUS ; one's ignorance not reveled in Public and legal embarrassment. Fakenews uscode uscourts
Absolute nonsense and totally inappropriate. 'Far better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt!'. Beyond disgraceful and very disappointing. A swift retraction and sincere apology are in order, Chief Justice!
Outright BS
Unfortunately, that's a popular view not a subjective view which how people really evaluate such judges. It's always based on the political view. Reality; not popularity.
Only an idiot would make this statement when the law suggests ILL-EGAL means ILLEGAL. What part of this process is okay to ignore. ? This is political sabotage when it's a given that a higher court will easily overturn this stall tactic.
Thank you . . . .Chief Justice John Roberts. . . .
R these judges following the RuleofLaw & the Constitution or legislating from the bench? realDonaldTrump was elected 2 restore the RuleofLaw BuildTheWall & ImmigrationReform AlanDersh JonathanTurley Jim_Jordan GovMikeHuckabee GovMikeHuckabee dbongino MariaBartiromo
Too bad for Chief Justice. Is he also the one who set the moon & stars? His job on this Earth is to use the constitutional law & ALLOW AMERICANS TO BE SAFE. Are you against our safety or would you rather point out silly things & act like we need to beg you for OUR SAFETY!
Then the DNC should not flatly oppose a Justice nominated by realDonaldTrump and make their decision on the basis of their qualifications and judicial record.
👎
Wrong Roberts. Sad that you fail to see the obvious when the law is being blatantly manipulated against the will of the American people. Wake up, before the Dems destroy the very country you are charged with protecting.
Judge will be wronged by supreme judges and that’s when his smug will be gone !! Socialism isn’t warranted here !!! Go feed ,clothe,the hundreds in California who lost there homes and entire memorabilia’s and help bury the family members that didn’t make it!
WRONG....The is full.of them
OUT OF PLACE FOR JUSTICE ROBERTS TO BE SPEAKING OUT ON THIS. HE SOUNDS LIKE ONE OF THE RADICAL LEFTIST JUDGES........ WHO WILL SOON BE FAR OUTNUMBERED BY JUSTICES WHO WILL STAY ON TRACK, INTERPRETING THE LAW.....THEIR JOB!
Trump always plays the victim..just like his base. He plays them beautifully just like a cheap TRUMP violin
It's pretty apparent Chief Justice John Roberts doesn't have any idea what he is talking about just like he didn't with Obama Care. He must be speaking like he wished things were because I don't think he is that stupid.
Rate of overturned decisions. From 1999-2008, of the 0.151% of 9th Circuit Court rulings that were reviewed by the Supreme Court, 20% were affirmed, 19% were vacated, and 61% were reversed; the median reversal rate for all federal appellate courts was 68.29% for the same.
You are putting those from other countries before the safety of the American people whose taxes pay your wages!
When Obama was criticizing the Supreme Court he kept his mouth shut. Because he's a liberal politically correct buffoon
Has not donated spine to science!
Trump clearly cannot handle being POTUS and is spinning out of control. He needs to be removed from power. AbuseOfPower
We have immigration laws that need to be upheld. Rewarding those who break those laws undermines every law and therefore this judge didn't fulfill the oath he swore and should be removed.
In my opinion, oh yes they are whoever put them in. The swore on a Bible to protect the American people so I feel they have broken their oath. realDonaldTrump
NEW: 'Sorry Chief Justice John Roberts,' Pres. Trump responds, 'but you do indeed have 'Obama judges,' and they have a much different point of view than the people who are charged with the safety of our country.'
This dweeb doesn't realize that politicians put them where they are?
BS The 9 th district is a leftist group of OBAMA appointed judges who push their liberal BS on the rest of the country. And any sane person knows this. Roberts knows better also. Maybe he’s been living in a different world than most of America.
Justice Roberts: You are REAL disappointment to 🇺🇸America! America thought we could get ‘fair ruling’ beloved Court! But ur judicial ACTIVISM on Obamacare proved America was wrong! Our beloved LADY JUSTICE is ‘BLIND FOLDED for reason! Donald J Trump VOICE of SILENT taxpayer!🇺🇸
THANK YOU JUDGE ROBERTS... THANK YOU
There are also turkeys that will not be eaten.
John Roberts is a bad judge.
Why didn't he rebuke obama when obama insulted SCOTUS to their faces in front of the Congress? Could it be the same reason he ruled obamacare was a tax to rule it constitutional when Obama was arguing it wasn't a tax? He was a coward wearing a SCOTUS rob then, as he is being now.
He couldn’t be more wrong. Why do you think there are constant battles over SC selections? Obama would never appoint a Kavanaugh nor Trump a Kagan.
While I commend Justice Roberts for his rebuke of Trump, I still criticize the Court for upholding Citizens United & striking down the Voting Rights Act. And let’s not forget that there are 2 sitting judges there who are sexual predators!
FakeNews
Is another liberal piece of s***
“Rebuke”? Lindsey Graham “rebuked” Trump So did Corker & Flake All then voted yes for all of Trump’s policies when cameras disappeared Even McCain voted for everything Trump wanted except Obamacare repeal Talk is cheap Lets see what action Roberts takes if Trump goes before him
I’m not thankful for this supposed judge - he looks like a smug leftist. And speaks as one as well.
FoxNews response to Chief Justice John Roberts noting Americas courts are apolitical: “Smh, they’ll always be NeverTrump[ers]”. Smh is right. :|
Unless of course you’re a dicktator 🙄
The OBAMA judge, John Roberts who REWROTE the WHOLLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL ObamaDoesn'tCare to 'ensure' it SEEMED to 'pass muster' and pass it has the NERVE to rebuke the ONLY president FOR the American people & AGAINST ever increasing UNACCOUNTABLE government. Roberts is a DISGRACE.
Funny you all think this was aimed only at Trump I see it aimed at the media as much if not more than trump! After all who tells the American people who appointed the judge Give up here is a hint THE MEDIA! That would be you all!!
Obviously every Democrat on the committee to appoint Justice Kavanaugh disagrees with Justice Roberts. The Democrats believe Kavanaugh is a Trump judge. The Chief Justice is either extremely naive, stupid, senile, or has a political bias. Time to retire Chief Justice.
Thank you Justice Roberts
Okay mouthpiece for Obama. Whatever you say redcoat. You have nothing important to say since you single-handedly with your liberal pals screwed millions of Americans who couldn't feed their families because they had to pay that Obamacare mandate crap.
BreitbartNews POTUS As long as Judge Shopping & legislation from the bench is legal Chief Justice we have a Constitutional problem. You should know better than I the 9th is the most overturned. It also is the most biased. Doctor shopping is illegal shouldn't judge shopping be
realDonaldTrump
To Justice Roberts: All Judges are not equal. Obama appointed Justices, routinely rule against President Trump and Common Spence! You sir, are OUT OF TOUCH with what’s happening to America.
It’s wasn’t a rebuke.
Thank you to Chief Justice Roberts for speaking out.
BS, I guarantee you, you weren't picked by Bush because he thought you were a liberal, thus obama didn't pick judges who he thought were conservative. If this is the way you understand the political world maybe you should reign your position, because you're way to naive.
BS !!!!
Why dispute Trump’s obviously accurate inference just to try to embellish your reputation Mr. Souter er Roberts.
Hope SCOTUS can act on unseating the unstable Trump
realDonaldTrump the top justice of the Supreme Court has made a RARE statement because justices don’t say much - take that as your warning that you will be help accountable by the highest court in the land. NOW is the time to be scared 🤣
Yeah right!
Roberts is living in a dream world. There are obviously Obama appointees who are there specifically because they ignore the Constitution or settled law to judge on their own whims.
SURE WE AREN'T LMAO
The chief justice just made a really stupid comment. If you live in a dream world that’s what you want to think. The reality is far different. Ninth Circuit are far too left liberals. To suggest otherwise is either ignorance or stupidity
Politicolnews What ?
The question Roberts should ask is why one judge can freeze the whole US immigration process. Should go to at least a 3- judge circuit panel on national issues.
💩💩💩
Even SCOTUS and other 9thCircuit judges must be embarrassed by decisions coming out of the 9th, regardless of how the POTUS describes them. They ARE Obama judges in SF, Chief Justice.
This is an interesting comment from Justice Roberts. ChecksAndBalances
Glad to see him make this stand.
Good for Justice Roberts. Has earned my respect even more. Finally someone who stands up to realDonaldTrump and not afraid to tells him how it is. Great job Justice Roberts! Wish we had more people like you serving.
How stupid does John 'Obamacare flip-flop' Roberts think we are? He embarasses himself with this comment.
TexanRussell Pay attention realDonaldTrump It looks like the Supreme Court is not 100% behind you! You are an embarrassment to the American people and the American Judiciary you seek to rule! No dictators allowed here! WorstPresidentEver ImpeachTrumpNow
After the addition of Trump's boy Kavanaugh, we can only pray-- You all know what you will need to do soon-- it couldn't be more screamingly obvious that our nation is being ruled by a mob family.. and a really BAD one at that. MAGA- many are getting arrested!
If this is true,why the intense partisan fighting over advise and consent when nominees come before the senate? Roberts is wrong.
USA FEDERAL MUST TAKE QUOSTION TOW JOHN. ROBERT FOR CRIMES ORGANIZED IN AMERICA
Well, there's Kavanaugh....
In your dreams. If he can not see the judges who are trying to rule from the bench then he should not be in the supreme court. He needs come back down to reality. There is a bias among Liberal judges based on who appointed them. I can see he will be another swing judge for dems
Now, we wait to see if Trump with his thin, orange skin lashes out at the Chief Justice for his criticism. Resist We made a deck of playing cards. Trump is the Ace of ♠️ KnowYourDeplorables
Nothing up his sleeve but a Jeff Flake. We'll have to see what a statement like his means. As of this moment Trump has fully poisoned the Supreme Court. Trump is toxic.
Anybody else getting a sense that this Trump guy sort of doesnt understand how things work?
Resist___45 I agree with your statement, but plenty of you have been bought by big businesses
We have Judges that are quite loyal to beer, though.
We do not have independence judiciary in the 9th circuit. Those are far left activist judges destroying our country with self made laws that undermine our constitution
He wont gets votes down for him Donald Trump needs more Judges get. This one out ship out.
Well... it was before trump...
Why is it then that the 9th District gets overturned by the the Supreme Court the majority of the time. Which court is political Chief Roberts?
Are you listening Kavanaugh?
Dump life time appointments. For the sake of the Republic
If judge ROBERTS is that naive, believing these radical judges are not being partisan, then it’s time for him to step down!
With the amount of legal shenanigans Trump is likely awaiting, pissing this man off is very foolish
Spoken like the Chief Justice, Thank you
Did this SCOTUS just state a platitude? msnbc KatyTurNBC
With this reassurance that there are only independent judges, then, the democrat party will stop slow-walking President Trump's judiciary appointments, right?
Bullshit
I wish it were true, but Mitch, Trump and all who cooperate with them have made the judicial branch just as political as the rest.
PeterJGregory Very well stated Mr. Roberts.
The sharks smell blood in the water...
Is Chief Justice Roberts blind or too naïve to acknowledge that many judges rulings are 'activist' in nature rather than being based on rule of law or even common sense? If so, perhaps he should step down.
What we do have is an interesting array of 9 judges who represent only 22% of the population raised in Jewish or Roman Catholic homes. No Protestants? Protecting conservative ancient abrahamic patriarchy?
FINALLY!!! SOMEONE IN POWER WILLING TO STAND UP TO THE 🍊DESPOT!!!!! REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMEN SHOULD BE ASHAMED THAT CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS HAD TO SPEAK UP BECAUSE HE SAW NO ONE ELSE WOULD. THANK YOU CHIEF JUSTICE!! The_Trump_Train realDonaldTrump
Sorry but, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh will always be Trump judges. Not them nor any of the corrupt people he has nominated for judgeships should ever be considered legitimate.
How does one make it through life being so Naive and yet become the Chief Justice?
If only that were true. Why then don't we see anyone filing outside the 9thCircuit? DemocratsHateAmerica VoterID DeportThemAll BuildTheWall EndDACA NoAmnesty MAGA
Yawn
The fact that the Chief Justice had to say that tells you how terrible Trump is as President.
Bullshit!
Well there goes the left’s theory about the supreme court!
Pssst: The latest addition to SCOTUS doesn't seem to know that. He seems to think Dems are his enemy. Maybe you could clue him in. John Roberts
Except for Kavanaugh......the Trump judge.
aliasvaughn He evidently hasn’t been listening to the news lately. Lots of partisan and unqualified candidates have been rolling through the approval process with little oversight in the past couple of years.
Way too late !!! Two years late!!! You are responsible for what is going now.Where where you a year ago.?
He is kidding, right? Why can we usually predict what the vote of the Court will be on any case with political overtures? Plus, does he really believe the Ninth Circuit is not political? He is right that the Court should be apolitical, but in reality it tends to disappoint.
With the 6th Circuit having nearly 90% cases overturned, the 11th at 78% reversal and the 9th at 78% so far this year their level best seems to be less than praiseworthy. is
Absolutely. Protecting an independent judiciary should be important to everyone.
The thanksgivings eve head spinner
Roberts is a Russian propaganda agent
I'm thinking Roberts is a globalist. Didn't he save Obama care by declaring fines which Obama told the nation are NOT taxes...Roberts called them taxes in order to save it? Never Trump Globalist?
That's an ideal sentiment but it seems to ignore the fact that cases are specifically brought it a very specific circuit on a routine basis, with highly predictable outcomes.
I understand Chief Justices statement. How can he be ok with what the 9th does? There’s no question the 9th rules like a liberal advocate bench.
This is the same judge that decided on his own to interrupt that you must purchase Obamacare or you’ll be fined as a “tax” Just because you have a robe and a title, it doesn’t make you the smartest. In this case, just accommodating liberals & media.
MAGA MAGA2020 What a load of BS. Roberts just doesn't want Judges questioned. We do have Obama, Clinton Judges and Trump, Bush Judges. The difference is the Liberal Judges always vote the way their side wants. To many so called Conserv Judges cave... Roberts should just STFU...
hahahahahahahahah
How unfortunate that The Trump/CorruptGOP regime has actually selected several judges based on their loyalty to DonaldTrump and to the rightwing Fascist ideology that Trump promotes. The GOP’s Mad Dash to Confirm Trump’s Right-wing Judges
No Chief Justice John Roberts, your profession the last 50 years has greedily destroyed America...when you get into the costs, the endless laws, and the continued unwillingness to actually make a judgment that helps Americans. Generally speaking of course.
Well this is BS because Congress isn’t going to fix this ridiculous illegal immigration problem. The ninth circuit is 100% liberal and making it easier for illegals to come in and stay. It’s ruining this country.
I like the theory, when are we going to see it it action?
Just not buying this.......
Well Justice Roberts, you could have fooled me with your Citizens United and Voting Rights act votes. You killed voting rights and now see what your GOP party has done. Only way to right this mess is fix it. You failed our country. FFFFthanks to your pervy court.
If the President can't protect the country as commander and chief, who will...the dems will not do it...
Simply...Thank you.
Wonder what insulting, schoolyard nickname Trump will call Roberts.
Anyone who thinks that's true has been living under a rock
I think time will tell whether or not this is true if the SC is called into an issue involving Trump personally, and will see how Kavanaugh decides/acts in that regard. Time will tell.
Wake up people. Trump is all about consolidating his power and you know what kind of ruler likes to do that!
Robert's should NOT be making public statements on matters the SCOTUS may ultimately hear...👨💻
We have a President elected to protect the USA and her Citizens, no need for a 'Judge' to usurp his authority.
To be fair Judges are not even suppose too form an opinion either positive or negative,should be no push back even talking about lower courts just do the job your actions will speak!!!
HOW DO I REMOVE A SUPREME COURT JUDGE? MAGA
agent orange continually being put in his place. love it
this makes me question humanity
Notice that the same people cheering on this statement today won't be singing this tune when a slew of 5-4 decisions don't go their way.
Thank you
Brainwashing - Jan Theuninck, 2018
