Chief Justice John Roberts warned a group of graduating laws students Monday that the rule of law is “endangered.” Without naming any names, the conservative justice also said during an event with students at Georgetown University that recent attacks against Supreme Court justices have gone too far.

“The notion that rule of law governs is the basic proposition,” Roberts said, according to Politico. “We need to stop and reflect every now and then how rare that is, certainly rare throughout history, and rare in the world today.” In response to a student’s question, he also said criticism of the Supreme Court is a good thing—“so long as it is not trashing the justices,” Bloomberg reported.

The comments came as Trump and his supporters have attacked federal judges—including conservative Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett—and ignored judicial rulings. The Supreme Court unanimously ruled in April that the U.S. government must “facilitate” the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland dad mistakenly deported to a Salvadoran prison, and share the steps it was taking with the district court.

Instead of following the ruling, Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared on Fox News and insisted Abrego Garcia’s wife and 5-year-old son—who are both U.S. citizens—were better off without him. Later, she attacked the judges who have issued rulings upholding due process for migrants, calling them “deranged” and threatening to arrest them.

This is the monster you created and it is getting more and more vicious.

1. So the message is don't criticize SCOTUS for not defending the Constitution

Got it. Roberts screwed up and can’t escape his guilt.

2. Roberts needs to find himself excuses why his "Trump v. United States" decision to give Presidents criminal immunity

to anything they do as President is not a big reason for Trump ignoring the law.

Trump v. United States, 603 U.S. 593 (2024), is a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in which the Court determined that presidential immunity from criminal prosecution presumptively extends to all of a president's "official acts" – with absolute immunity for official acts within an exclusive presidential authority that Congress cannot regulate such as the pardon, command of the military, execution of laws, or control of the executive branch.

Roberts gave Trump absolute immunity for how he decides to execute laws. Is he surprised that Trump is now executing laws as he wishes, rather than how Roberts or his Court says they should be executed?

3. The "sacred" Rule of Law isn't so "sacred" when criminals can freely commit Felony Crimes ...

whenever they are engaged in whatever "criminal acts" which they themselves characterize as being within some vague penumbra of some even more vague and more ambiguous "official acts." Eat Shit and Die, Roberts! You are a hideous disgrace to Law itself!

[wolfie001]

4. He forgot to say he is a big reason for all of this!

Must've slipped his mind.

[ananda]

6. The SCOTUS got taken over by greedy assholes.

Roberts and his wife were driven primarily by greed.

[Ponietz]

5. When money is speech it's a joke to prattle on about the rule of law

Up is down and the sky is green Chief Justice Shill. You fucking gave away our Democracy to an organized crime syndicate.

[Blues Heron]

7. Where is Kilmar, little Johnny?

Oh look little Johnny is going to stamp his foot and hold his breath while Trump tells him to go pound sand.

8. Aren't you glad you gave that psycopath a full "get out of jail free" card?

What a damned moron. I reserve the worst contempt for those who are educated and seemingly intelligent but who let ideology drive them into believing they don't have to anticipate the adverse impacts of their actions.

[wyn borkins]

10. Brilliantly Stated :: Deserves Repetition :: So Here Be It:

"What a damned moron. I(we) reserve the worst contempt for those who are educated and seemingly intelligent but who let ideology drive them into believing they don't have to anticipate the adverse impacts of their actions."

[Mysterian]

9. Tell 'em all about Citizens United, phony judge

Roberts isn't morally fit to be a dogcatcher, let alone a USSC justice.

[bluestarone]

11. Next thing we'll hear is Roberts retires so TSF can add another asshole judge.

We'll see i guess.

[HappyLarge]

12. He can just shut the hell up and ride this train like the rest of us.

I haven’t forgotten who the lawyers were for Bush v. Gore. You built this Justice Roberts.

[pfitz59]

13. Roberts ruined the 'rule of law'.

Thrash away!

[Godot51]

14. A shameful man

Roberts is a shameful man, filled with his own agenda, his own prejudices, and his own self-worth.

Like so many of the "justices" appointed by cretinous republican presidents he was, is, and and will be unqualified for the job he's afraid to do.

[Javaman]

15. what did useless Roberts do? give the orange asshole a frowny face? nt
