A spokesperson for the U.S. Supreme Court disputed a report that claimed Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts shouted at the eight other justices in a room in the high court, urging them not to take up the Texas election lawsuit against four other key states.
As guidance, the court “has been conducting its conferences remotely by phone since March when the building closed due to the pandemic,” a Supreme Court spokesperson told The Epoch Times via email on Friday in response to a question about the claim.
The statement contradicts what a GOP Texas elector, Matt Patrick, said earlier this week, claiming that an anonymous person said that “the Justices went into a closed room” to determine whether to take the Texas lawsuit that was eventually dismissed. Then, according to the elector, “When the Texas case was brought up he said he heard screaming through the walls as Justice Roberts and the other liberal Justices were insisting … afraid of what would happen if they did the right thing.”
The claim also appeared on Hal Turner’s website, sourcing an alleged “clerk for one of the [Supreme Court] justices.” It is unclear where Patrick obtained his information.
“The Justices met in a closed and sealed room, as is standard,” Turner’s website said, citing the alleged Supreme Court whistleblower. “Usually it is very calm, however today we could hear screaming all the way down the hall. They met in person, because they didn’t trust telephonic meeting as secure. Chief Justice Roberts was screaming, ‘Are you going to be responsible for the rioting if we hear this case?'”
Attorney Lin Wood wrote on Twitter this week that Roberts and Justice Stephen Breyer in August discussed how to make sure that Trump “would never be reelected” over the phone.

PING!
Interesting that they felt the need to respond.
Btw, a zoom call would have provided the same thing.
Need to respond? Because it was becoming grossly idiotic?
I swear, the rumor/echo chambers going on now are making it IMPOSSIBLE to get information.
Would be nice if we had the audio of this. Otherwise, it’s just anonymous sources.
Ever since the 0bamaCare Case, 47% of America don’t have all that much respect for USSC and their “0pinions”..
Lin Wood says he has a recording of his call with Breyer saying he’ll make sure the MF never gets elected.
Put it out here. Uncensored.
I am skeptical of that claim.
If true, it may be Mr. Wood kept his powder dry long enough for the scum to rise to the top before releasing his info.
Don’t shoot until you see the whites of their eyes comes to mind.
I know conservatives do not trust the MSM, but that is not excuse to blindly accept anything we want to hear as being true.
A spokesperson for SCOTUS says.....
Blah blah blah blah....
Lets hear it from Justice Thomas or Alito.
Let them quell the rumor!
>>> Lin Wood says he has a recording of his call with Breyer saying he’ll make sure the MF never gets elected.
Then why didn’t he release it to multiple alternate news sources???
Lin Wood has some bizarre agenda that involves Democrat control over the Senate.
The Dimocrats don't even need that much before making headlines with their wild accusations.

Yeah, he seems to have become a fame whore in short order.
MSM not reporting it, so it might be true.
