The chief justice had spoken out against MAGA’s attacks on the judiciary.
JD Vance ripped into Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts for saying the courts are an equal branch of government whose job is to “check the excesses” of the executive branch.
Earlier this month, Roberts responded to calls from MAGA to impeach judges who ruled against Donald Trump’s policies by saying, “In our Constitution, the judiciary is a coequal branch of government, separate from the others, with the authority to interpret the Constitution as law, and strike down acts of Congress or acts of the president.”
“That innovation doesn’t work if the judiciary is not independent,” he continued during a fireside chat in Buffalo, New York. “Its job is to, obviously, decide cases, but in the course of that, check the excesses of Congress or of the executive, and that does require a degree of independence.”
Doesn’t this clown supposedly have a law degree from Yale? And a poli-sci degree too? How the fuck do you have those two degrees from American universities without understanding a high school level concept like the branches of the US government? Were they just handing out degrees to him like candy on Halloween?
Because he doesn’t actually believe any of this, it’s all performative. It’s all about creating a certain narrative that they can then exploit to keep the grift going.
I’d go a step further and say despite what he learned in law school, they want to weaken the judicial branch and they’re using Trump’s performative ‘tell a lie till it’s truth’ playbook.
This, but also there is massive competition for getting Trumps favor among his minions. A public statement like this pleases Trump, and so Vance gets to be a bit closer to daddy. Trump loves this type of competition among his underlings, and so all of them attempt to outcompete each other in stupidity.
He paid for those degrees. Didn’t actually earn them just like every legacy or rich asshole
