CBS News’ chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford criticized the mainstream media’s coverage of the Supreme Court, calling it “dangerous” to claim the high court was “corrupt.”

Crawford joined CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday to discuss what the panel considered the most underreported stories of the year. While some panelists cited the blanket use of pardons and cuts to the federal workforce as examples, Crawford instead pointed to a narrative she considered overreported: alleged political corruption in the Supreme Court.

“You know, there is a narrative that the Supreme Court is corrupt,” Crawford said. “I mean, we saw that emerge in the wake of the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, and now we see it, that they’re in the tank for Trump. Not only is that narrative overreported, it is patently false, and it is dangerous for the institution, and the public’s faith and confidence in the rule of law.”

She continued, “This is a conservative Supreme Court. It has been a conservative Supreme Court for 20 years. People can disagree and do disagree with their opinions, but it’s profoundly wrong to call it or say ‘corruption’ where there, in fact, is none.” …

Wow, good for her. The court is not corrupt, and that accusation comes from the left and the right. The left believes Thomas is corrupt while the right believes Roberts is corrupt.

Jan wants to keep her job. Good work Bari.

What’s uncorrupt about Roberts?

To be on the left is to be corrupt. A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

[frank ballenger]

I don’t believe the Court is corrupt. I think it is degenerate, devolved and dangerous. Not corrupt.

Back to the basics. The Supreme Court needs to completely overturn any “Omnibus” funding bill as invalid on its face because no legislator actually read it before they voted on it.

If an average person cannot read and understand the “law” in a reasonable amount of time, it is not really the law: it is merely a legal vehicle for the wealthy and connected to take advantage of everybody else.

Speaking of corruption, John Roberts is a very close friend of Norm Eisen, one of the most influential, evil, leftist pigs on the planet.

Consorting with evil makes one evil and therefore corrupt.

Look up Roberts' infamous relationship with Eisen. If that doesn't make you furious, nothing will.
