You are pushing some hypocritical false of “giving honor where honor is not due” regarding office holders and public service.

So I asked if you honored John Roberts for holding the office and for his public service.

I don’t think that SC judges are generally given state funerals; the Court seems to have its own traditions. I imagine that Roberts’ service - and by extension the office itself - will be honored in a traditional way. These traditions and ceremonies are not only - and often not so much - for the person who has passed, as for the nation and its ideals which override individuals and temporal issues.

(I sincerely hope that when you pass away, the entirety of your life is taken into account instead of just certain aspects of it - like, for instance, the way you conduct yourself here.)
