Chief Justice John Roberts seemed visibly irritated when Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., formally asked a question during President Trump's impeachment trial Thursday that referenced him and questioned the legitimacy of the Supreme Court and Constitution in relation to the proceedings.
In accordance with Senate rules, the chief justice of the United States must read aloud the questions posed by senators to the impeachment managers and the president's counsel. Roberts formally recognized Warren, a Democratic presidential candidate, who then submitted her written question to a clerk.
Roberts read her question from the card -- which referenced him.

“Visibly irritated” by stupidity.
LOL!
Roberts was/is DeepState from the start.
I question John Roberts’ legitimacy as a judicial Conservative.
As a presidential candidate, (kind of) what is she doing there again?
Is there anything better than a whiney rat?
I don’t. I question him period. He is bought and paid for by someone, probably someone attached to obammy. Roberts is a hack.
I believe the 'RATS have the goods on him & his wife as regards the shady adoptions of their two Irish children that were consummated in South America in order to circumvent Ireland's strict laws.
I will guess someone a lot closer to home...
George W. Bush - who tried to shove Amnesty and Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers down Conservative throats.
Nothing like calling out a RINO Judge to sway him the radical moonbat point of view./sarc
Princess Gray Beaver Warren was absent from law-school when they covered ‘Apple Polishing’.
That speculation is getting tiresome. It has nothing to do with fuzzy adoptions and everything to do with his membership in the cult.
Oh, she should get a vote, just not a voice. Conflict of interest.
I think she was trying to embarrass Roberts into voting for witnesses in case of a 50/50 tie vote. It’s not clear if he is the tie breaker or the vice president is. Of course I’d rather have Pence decide than this traitor.
That has to be getting moldy by now. Arent the kids in college now?
Yet he didn’t read Rand Paul’s question.
I question him as a Chief Justice at all now.
Campaigning & pandering
SENATORS: If the Impeachment doesn’t fit....you must ACQUIT!
I was wondering when someone was going to point that out.
If the rules actually state he has to read Senate questions, then he violated Senate rules. Problem then becomes, what to do about it.
I believe Roberts is either severely compromised, or he is an unprincipled and leftist charlatan.
We don’t know, but if what Rand Paul said afterward about his question is true, it is also possible Roberts was afraid the question would have placed pressure to have witnesses.
