Have you tried not being corrupt oligarchs?
Phwoah calm down with the corruptoligarchophobia there!
Remember that simple trick: if your speech would be derogatory if you replace 'corrupt oligarch' by any other minority, then you might want to report yourself to the nearest corrupt law enforcement authority and donate some of your time and money to your local oligarch (they need all the money).
Won't someone think of the poor billionaires
No, it doesn't. In fact, Roberts should consider himself lucky it isn't much worse, considering that he and 5 of his collegues are nothing more than activist political hacks, completely undeserving of the job.
Eat shit Roberts, you're one of the biggest enablers in all this
maybe stop being a corrupt piece of shit, John.
More importantly, it is imperative that Chief Justice John Roberts' heart stops.
"Heart"?
I think it was doonesbury, or maybe bloom county, but the media is fascinated about this surgical operation where they're going to transplant a liberal heart into a conservative body. The doctor says something about how they had trouble finding a liberal heart that wasn't bleeding, but that they had a harder time finding a conservative with a heart.
Hostility from the court towards anyone who’s not a rich white man needs to stop.
Clear favoritism towards Republicans in rulings needs to stop.
Justices taking bribes needs to stop.
Justices wives trying to overturn elections needs to stop.
The court making the president a king needs to stop.
Thomas and Alito being fucking pieces of shit needs to stop.
I can go on.
Can I suggest, humbly, then, that you guys start by throwing away your present constitution and start anew?
Yeah I’d love to but that’s not going to happen without suffering on a scale this country hasn’t seen since the Great Depression or a civil war.
Getting real sick of all the “Just overthrow the govt you lazy Americans! You’re not doing anything and that means you accept it.” takes on here.
Tell that to Minnesotans or Chicagoans or Los Angelinos.
"laziness" does not exist. It's just a placeholder term used for when we don't understand why people aren't doing what we individually want them to.
I'm afraid it has been farther way from that. Sincerely, I hope something happens and you guys just make a turn around.
Yeah apologies it’s just exhausting sometimes. We’re trying but it’s not at a critical mass yet. I worry too many people are waiting for him to die thinking that’ll fix everything when he’s a symptom and not the disease.
The guy peacefully pass in his sleep would be something. I dread the infighting that would follow for the "throne".
If that infighting stops America attacking anyone else in the meantime, then by all means, have at it.

The lack of a general strike is telling. Everyone everywhere faces hardship, but other places would have, long ago (like you should have under Regean long ago!)
Your billionaires know most of you are scabs and class traitors, they will not stop now.
Put up or shut up.
Lul check wants us not to complain when it is not balanced? Keep on Kangaroo Court.
Hostility from judges needs to fucking start.
The judiciary has the power to deputize individuals to enforce its orders. It needs to fucking start.
He's violated his oath of office countless times. Doing so intentionally, once, should result in immediately disqualifying someone from holding any public office elected or appointed, existing or future. Change the locks on their office doors, stop their pay checks, and revoke their physical\digital access.
Maybe judges should rule in line with community expectations, instead.
When Roberts retires, who is in line to replace him as chief justice?
I have a first amendment right to be hostile according to them.
Maybe we'll consider it once the judiciary stops being hostile to the American people.
The biggest slide away from democracy into fascist dictatorship occurred as Justice Roberts and then Chief Justice presided. He is directly responsible for the low quality of life we are all enduring. He deserves all the hate that is sent his way.
That’s unfair.
Merrick Garland deserves some blame for not indicting Donald for insurrection.
John Roberts is a W appointee. He and Clarence Thomas are responsible for setting a lot of the presumption among the right that the SCOTUS could be captured. Their rulings were egregiously partisan.
I just have one thing to say to that.. Get bent John.
“Bent john” — what’ve you heard?
This, folks, is how the entitled class behaves. Kavanaugh is another great example. Born with a silver spoon in their mouth, guided by others into a top position. They only had to show up to the party while the rest of us idiots struggle to survive. Of course they expect to be able to do anything they want without consequence. This is not about Roberts noticing that opinion has changed, this is him suffering that there is pushback.
Don't forget, that piece of greasy shit, Kavanaugh was wailing like toddler when he thought the Supreme Court appointment that he was so entitled to might be taken from him. It demonstrated that he did not have anywhere near the temperament to be a judge, let along a supreme court justice after that unhinged rant he went on.
Yeah that was pathetic. Basically "I'm allowed to be a bro, guys. How dare you question me!"
Judge Boofing?
