In remarks at a judicial conference, Roberts bemoaned what he characterized as the American public’s misconceptions about the Supreme Court.
Chief Justice John Roberts on Wednesday defended the Supreme Court from what he believes are misconceptions held by the American people that he and his colleagues are “political actors” who are making decisions based on policy, not law.
Roberts is a member of the court’s 6-3 conservative majority, which has moved federal law to the right on a number of weighty issues in recent years, such as abortion and gun rights.
The court has also in several cases weakened the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965, including in a ruling last week that led to outrage and disappointment on the left.
walks line a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck… claims it’s a zebra.

Yep. Figures. Even the fucking Voting Rights Act is a fringe issue now.
I’m so fucking hungry.
Rob, you’re a pedophile actor. Please cease breathing now.
If it walks like a duck, and quakes like a duck, etc.
SCOTUS told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
It was its final, most essential command.
Traitor says what?
misconceptions held by the American people that he and his colleagues are “political actors” who are making decisions based on policy, not law.
Maybe if they stopped acting like they were making decisions based in political ideology instead of law, the American people might have those opinions…
These fuckers are overturning settled law and acts of congress left and right. Not political actors? Bitch the political buck stops at the supreme court that much is clear.
Well, that’s only because the Supreme Court is mostly political actors. Can’t see why he’s confused.
So stop acting politically, John.
If they were making judgements based on laws and logic then they would regularly have unanimous decisions.
The fact that for each case that comes before them, it’s almost always a split decision down predictable conservative/liberal lines means that Roberts is full of shit.
Well their work sure as fuck isn’t based on objectivity.
Corrupt Gaslighting fuck says what?

Sorry couldn’t hear you. Could you take drump’s tiny little mushroom out of your mouth and try again?
