Oh shut up. It’s just a tax Chief Justice.

[RinaseaofDs]

I can’t believe he said this. After saddling us, single-handedly, with Obamacare, he said this.

[telstar12.5]

The Supreme Court is “apolitical”?

Riiiiggghhttt.

[BenLurkin]

Maybe Republican or Democrat

But very much American or anti-American

[xzins]

It’s always insightful to watch them pretend not to be political

[datricker]

These people live in make believe land with our money - this guy is a maroon!

[sauropod]

Precisely.

[jazminerose]

I do believe there would be a hell of a lot less rancor if not for Justice Roberts’ asinine and indefensible ruling about an imaginary Obamacare tax.

[We in the judiciary do not do our business in a partisan, ideological manner,” Roberts said.]

Sheer bullshit.

[drypowder]

undermine public confidence in the apolitical nature of the judicial system

for instance re you changing the meaning of a fine to a tax in the ACA, Justice Roberts, you're a bit late on that statement

[RegulatorCountry]

Somebody yanking his chain again with incidental surveillance?

[Galactica]

Changing laws instead of interpreting them in accordance with the Constitution causes people to lose confidence and become more partisan and distrustful of government.

[LongWayHome]

Says the guy who changed his opinion of Obamacare in the middle of writing it. A highly suspect act that smacks of outside interference.

[txrefugee]

All we ask is that Justice Gorsuch is not blackmailable, Chief Justice Roberts.

[US_MilitaryRules]

You are free to resign.

“We in the judiciary do not do our business in a partisan, ideological manner,” Roberts said.

I'm not sure if Roberts is this duplicitous or just this oblivious. Ruth Bader Ginsberg must give him a wedgie every time they meet.

[[We in the judiciary do not do our business in a partisan, ideological manner,” Roberts said.

We do it in a manner that that is compliant with the threats from the democrats who have dirt on us, sure, but by golly not in an ideological manner- nope- no sireebob

[Tallguy]

Hike up your lacy panties, Chief Justice!

[Olog-hai]

Would I be jaded to find this kind of hypocrisy quite believable out of his mouth?
