John Roberts - Just Another Deep State Operative

Timothy Birdnow

John Roberts proves himself to be the self-serving fool we've always known him to be.

He says there are "remedies" for these lawless judges. Well, what are they? Going to a higher court. Of course that means HE and his friends at SCOTUS then have absolute power, something the Constitution never intended. There is an impeachment clause in the Constitution precisely to avoid absolute power by the Courts.

As Roberts may well end up ruling on the very case that is leading to impeachment of this judge he has absolutely no business commenting on anything to do with it.

Maybe we should consider impeaching Roberts for purposely prejudicing this case?

(Not going to happen of course but until these judges realize they are not omnipotent this sort of poliiticazion of the courts and weaponization of law will continue.)

I would remind everyone that the Supreme Court granted itself the right of judicial review - it's nowhere to be found in the Constitution. In Marbury v. Madison chief Justice John Marshall asserted that the Supreme Court's role should be to review laws for constitutionality and he then proceeded to do so. Nobody objected so it became a legal precedent. But it was a power not expressly granted the courts. We've been living with an extra-constitutional regime for most of our history. And it served us well because the men who reached the top of the legal profession were not activists but originalists, reading the intent of the law. Now we have this "living, breathing Constitution" and they have become legislators on their own authority.

So what other remedy does the Constitution offer but impeachment and simply going to a higher court? Well, according to Alexander Hamilton in the Federalist Papers we can simply ignore the courts. They have neither money nor enforcement powers, and that by design. Hamilton said plainly they could be ignored if they overstepped their bounds. Somehow I suspect Roberts wouldn't be in favor of that either.

In fact it's called nullification and while we remember nullification being an antebellum idea about nullifying Federal laws that were in opposition to the Constitution (and I would add both Jefferson and Madison wrote in favor of this power held by the states) there is no reason why one branch of government cannot nullify another under extraordinary conditions. If the courts are packed with leftist partisans there is a duty to ignore them. But impeachment makes more sense; get rid of the bad apples.

Roberts says:

And for decades we've had radical activist judges simply rewrite the Constitution at their whim and what has Roberts done about it, save mildly rebuke these radicals? He cannot even remove them from their positions, so how is that a "remedy"? This judge can simply go ahead and issue another ruling if the Supreme Court overrules him. There is no accountability.

And, just as Roberts was bloviating about the glories of judicial review, another judge declares Musk's DOGE must restore access to USAID workers and declares his actions "unconstitutional". Of course this would allow these people to destroy evidence and bury the bodies while the Administration awaits an appeal.

If Roberts had his head screwed on right he would admit the courts are far, far too slow in taking action in appeals and that one judge should never be able to overturn national policy and the will of the People out of personal whim.

Musk is working directly for Trump, who has the authority to shut the agency down. This idiot judge - Theodore Chuang - claimed only the head of USAID could fire people or close buildings. Funny; last I checked the Constitutuion made it quite plain the President is in charge of the execrutive branch of government. And Marco Rubio was made acting director of USAID, so THAT argument is completely erroneous.

What is happening is the Deep State is protecting their power and these faux judges are a part of the Deep State. And so is John Roberts.
