The chief justice is just about as believable insisting that politics doesn't affect the judiciary as Iran's President Ahmadinejad was when he told a Columbia University audience that there are no gays in Iran. Groucho Marx articulated the dilemma with the immortal line, "Who are you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes?"
Or, as Mark Levin posted on Facebook:
"It appears John Roberts doesn't live in the real world. A few decades ago he understood that there are, in fact, too many progressive judges and justices who legislate from the bench. Indeed, when it came to Obamacare, Roberts himself led the court's leftists in rewriting the Constitution and imposing that damnable law on all of us. We don't need any lectures from him. Indeed, he should be admonishing his own branch of government for its outrageous activism rather than playing to the media by attacking the president. Classless."
Roberts has remained silent as a series of outrageous decisions from federal district judges has substituted a single judge's decision on what the POTUS should do for the authority granted to the chief executive by the Constitution.
Another time that the chief justice remained silent happened in the 2010 State of the Union Address, when President Obama explicitly attacked the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United, and his colleague, Justice Alito, mouthed "Not true," only to be rebuked by many commentators.
For at least six decades, courts have been legislating from the bench, and finally a president has taken this on. We can expect the entire institutional weight of the establishment to come down hard on him. The only thing Trump has going for his position is reality.

With the exception of Covfefe and some deliberate spelling mistakes Trump never Tweets without knowing the answer.
Expect the unexpected
and whatever it is, it will be
Devastating.
Roberts is to the Supreme Court as James Comey is to the FBI.
Thanks, W.
As the likely new SCOTUS swing voter, Roberts has gone to the Dark Side.
Roberts doesn’t find that RBG, 0don’t care cheerleader Kagen, the wide Latina and whats-his-name don’t vote as an ideological lefty block?
It’s called SEPARATION OF POWERS, Justice Roberts!! #elementary
Was Roberts coaching DiFi?
after the Kavanaugh hearings & after Democrats insist they are going to impeach & remove Kavanuagh......& after the absurdly dishonest same-sex marriage decision by all Democrat judges.....Roberts seems completely in denial & delusional.
How about wrong on facts r and d judges vote differently
Corrupt and corrupting.
PDJT should leak what is known about Roberts and then take away Soros’ leverage.
I would suggest that Sheppie goes full-time bitter fague.
