Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, who used his authority to permit the implementation of Obamacare, robbing Americans of their freedom and their money, used his end-of-the-year report to lament the effect of sequestration on the judicial system.
Calling for more funding for federal courts, Roberts wrote that Congress should use A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens as inspiration to “look at what has made our federal court system work in the past, what we are doing in the present to preserve it in an era of fiscal constraint, and what the future holds if the judiciary does not receive the funding it needs.” He added that the judiciary’s operating costs are only 0.2 percent of the federal budget and it has lived on the chap for years, but sequestration was more deleterious for its health than the other branches of government. He moaned:
The impact of the sequester was more significant on the courts than elsewhere in the government, because virtually all of their core functions are constitutionally and statutorily required. Unlike most Executive Branch agencies, the courts do not have discretionary programs they can eliminate or postpone in response to budget cuts. .....

A judge is just a lawyer with too much power.
"In the coming weeks, and into the future, I encourage the president and Congress to be attentive to the needs of the Judicial Branch and avert the adverse consequences that would result from funding the judiciary below its minimal needs."
Is that a veiled threat?
What this forever grinning fool has dished up for Americans would be cause for imprisonment in a well ordered society. He is a traitorous Obama Zombie.
How bout a court tax Johnny?
You seem to like taxes.
The effect of whatever meds he’s on?!?
Fewer laws, equally enforced could help clear the case backlog.
Now we know (absolutely sure) Roberts’ view of a happy ending is more gubmint money, more funding.
Constitutionality be damned.
hey johnny boy,
Eat pooh and croak.
So he wants more money from Congress, and he wants Obama to appoint more judges?
Hahahahahaha.
In this era of fiscal restraint
?
Wtf?
Bush sure could pick ‘em.
Judge Roberts is EXEMPT, like his staff.
EXEMPT.
EXEMPT to an un-Constitutional tax that he created.
He thinks he’s out of money now, wait till he gets the restitution bill for all our freedom he stole with his Osamacare “ruling”.
Roberts = Benedict Arnold = Traitor
There is a fundamental difference between State and Federal criminal prosecutions. State prosecution is based on Ten Commandment thou shall not kill/thou shall not steal philosophy. Federal prosecution is all sovreignty based “how dare you object to the authority of the government to control your life.” For example, the Oklahoma City bombers were not prosecuted for Murder. The actual crime they were charged with was “Destruction of Government Property Resulting in Death.”
Just something to keep in mind as the good Chief Justice asks for more money.
Exactly.
Since he believes the sequester was “real” and not contrived, that proves he blinded Bush and Roberts is a leftie in disguise.
I no longer believe he was blackmailed; I now believe he just wanted to please 0bummer just like Reggie L0ve.

Roberts, intended to replace Sandra Day O’Connor, has become to GWB like O’Connor was to Reagan. O’Connor should as well still be there since she is paid full retirement.
