Supreme Court Responds to Claim That John Roberts Shouted at Other Justices Over Texas Lawsuit
The Epoch Times ^ | December 18, 2020 | Jack Phillips

Posted on 12/18/2020 5:48:48 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

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.

Lets hear it from Justice Thomas or Alito.

Let them quell the rumor!


Exactly what I said when I first read about this claim.

Not a cult, but I sure as heck am not going to ignore people on FR maligning those who are fighting for our behalf.

We put up with the same crap for four years from liberals over Trump. It has nothing to do with Wood in particular, but I will set the record straight whenever I see a post like yours.

What are you accomplishing, by the way? Do you think you are successful at discouraging the Patriots who are left on FR? Because real Patriots are not going to roll over and hope for better luck next time. There is no next time. This is it.

Lin Wood has been working to uncover the election fraud and has made some interesting finds, like the background of the guy who the Secretary of State hired....

(I wish that people in Georgia would act and request copies of the drop box videos like he requested.)

That is uncalled for, I am a married woman and I do NOT appreciate that insinuation.

It is not any of these lawyers’ fault that the judges are corrupt and will not look at the evidence. The evidence is there. Not just Wood, Powell, Giuliani, Ellis, all of them.

Roberts is a compromised POS who takes orders from his Satanic Deep State puppetmasters.

A paper sack filled with 3 day-old-shit has more applicable value to the US Constitution than Roberts does.

What took so long to issue a denial?

Not sure why Wood got involved here. He made a small fortune off the Covington teenager's lawsuits. He does not need the money or the fame. He still has suits out there and was supposed to represent the Kenosha shooter. They have filed a suit against the Biden campaign for portraying Rittenhouse as a white supremacist. What does Wood gain being involved in this mess?

“Your narrative is getting old. I see it on every conservative site. Sometimes verbatim.”

Don’t lump me in with any “narrative”. If I suspect one person who is always popping up in the news with extreme and fantastical bobmshells, it’s simply MY opinion.

The SCOTUS isn’t even meeting in person in that conference room since the pandemic started. The story was impossible as being true. Embarrassing nonsense from the start.

Pretty much all public officials are subject to being asked questions on controversial issues. In some instances, the Supremes should be expected to answer questions. Each justice should be asked about the truthfulness of the story, and Roberts and Breyer should, under oath, confirm or deny that they had a conversation in which Roberts stated he would do all he could to prevent Trump from being President. If this is true, both Roberts and Breyer need to recuse themselves from further election rulings. This is too important for the justices to hide behind the “impartiality” skirts.

yeah, that part never made sense, and rather discredited anything that came after.

Your points should be obvious to anyone who applies just a touch of critical thinking.

But unfortunately, some conservatives are as bad as leftists when it comes accepting as true anything that fits their preferred narrative.

Well, that settles that.

When the government tells you something, you can trust what they say. Its right there in black and white.

ASK ANY INDIAN. THEY WILL TELL YOU.

Any response is a clear admission of guilt... Since when has the SCOTUS ever lowered itself to respond to any rumor???

Never.. Makes me believe it's true even more.
