Chief Justice John Roberts used his annual year-end report to push back against what he sees as increasingly “inappropriate political influence” being used in an attempt to sway the Supreme Court to rule certain ways on high-profile cases.
Constitutional scholars will tell you that our founders chose to have federal judges and Supreme Court justices serve lifetime appointments as a way to ensure they could rise above the political fray as administrations and successive congresses changed hands.
But somewhere along the way throughout our history, politicians and presidents discovered that they could permanently influence the country by choosing judges and justices who shared their political and cultural ideologies. Party’s ideologies.”
