but privately hope that a retirement announcement in the fall co…

When we have judges who consistently violate their responsibilities and oaths, what else are we to expect? Should we, the victims of their often biased, sometimes personally self interested, decisions give them bouquets or red roses?
Roberts, with the help of other sitting SCOTUS "in-justices" (particularly Thomas and Alito) have poured hot, steaming stinking manure onto SCOTUS. If blame is to be placed, it ought to land on the court itself as a recognition that its loss of…

The Supreme Court’s public information office previously declined to reveal that
Chief Justice John Roberts had fallen at a country club near his suburban Maryland home in June 2020,
injured his head and taken by ambulance to a hospital until it was reported by the Washington Post.
If Alito were to decide to step down, the opening would offer President Donald Trump a fourth appointment to…
