Chief Justice John Roberts has been the leading voice in urging the public not to view the court as not just another political branch of government, once tangling with Trump over judicial independence.

By MARK SHERMAN and JESSICA GRESKO

The abortion case in particular was a repudiation of the more incremental approach favored by Chief Justice John Roberts. But the chief justice was unable to attract any support from his colleagues on the right, including the three justices nominated by former President Donald Trump. Obama nominated Merrick Garland, then a federal appeals court judge and now President Joe Biden’s attorney general, but Republicans would not even give Garland a hearing.

Without the votes, the court’s three-justice liberal minority could only look on in dismay, confined to writing dissents that were alternately scathing and sad. The dissent included a warning that “no one should be confident that this majority is done with its work.” The justices suggested the decision’s logic also imperiled previously recognized rights to same-sex marriage and contraception.

Look what money does. But were not getting our moneys worth.

Where do I apply for the copy editor job?

He has lost ALL credibility and it nothing more than a puppet

Guess that’s out the window. The court lost its legitimacy when deciding Bush v Gore. It’s only gotten worse.

What I think of that statement:

Kinda hard not to, don’t ya think? Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck.

Supreme Court expands gun rights, with nation dividedIn a major expansion of gun rights, the Supreme Court said Thursday that Americans have a right to carry firearms in public for self-defense, a ruling likely to lead to more people legally armed in… False, the Supreme stopped the government from overstepping its authority and attacking our rights. The purpose of the Bill of Rights is to limit the government, not citizens. Ok, sure, an unfettered right to keep and bear arms. But not to use them! We need to make it financially and legally ruinous to a gun owner if that gun is used to kill or injure someone, whether or not the owner pulled the trigger. Rights come with responsibilities, you know.

States brace for fight over gun laws after Supreme Court rulingGovernors, lawmakers, and attorneys general in states with strict gun-permitting laws are figuring out how to shore up their restrictions after Thursday's Supreme Court decision expanded gun rights in a New York case. It’s as if these state law makers just now learned that we have a second amendment. 'assault weapon' and 'high capacity magazine' bans were also shown to be unconditional too with the new strict scrutiny rule too The fact remains that restrictions are likely to be unconstitutional since the language of the second amendment is purposely unqualified.
