Chief Justice John Roberts stressed the importance of judicial independence during public remarks Wednesday, noting that the judiciary’s role as a co-equal branch of government is central to the nation’s political system. “The judiciary is a coequal branch of government, separate from the others with the authority to interpret the Constitution as law, and strike down, obviously, acts of Congress or acts of the president,” Roberts said at an event in his native Buffalo, New York. The judiciary’s role, Roberts added, is to “decide cases but, in the course of that, check the excesses of Congress or the executive.” That...

Stephen Miller’s America First Legal (AFL) has filed a bombshell lawsuit against Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., in his capacity as Presiding Officer of the Judicial Conference of the United States, and Robert J. Conrad, Director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. The lawsuit accuses the powerful duo of running what AFL describes as an “unconstitutional shadow agency” and violating federal transparency laws. The lawsuit, filed on April 22, slams the Judicial Conference of the United States and its administrative arm—both overseen by Chief Justice Roberts—as rogue “executive agencies” that have collaborated with far-left lawmakers to wage...

After you finish this blog, you’ll be asking the million-dollar question: Why is Chief Justice John Roberts hanging out with the Deep State’s #1 color revolution architect? Turns out the left’s favorite “Republican” has some very interesting buddies. According to Norm Eisen—the man who practically wrote the Deep State’s playbook on color revolutions, all things anti-Trump, and lawfare in the US—he and Chief Justice John Roberts are not only good pals, but they even spent a week together in the Czech Republic. According to Norm, the two BFFs were there working on “American rule of law” issues. Hmm… Norm was...

Chief Justice Roberts has indefinitely blocked the court order requiring Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return tonight.

At a shadow hearing held by Congressional Democrats on Monday, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) reacted to a ruling from Chief Justice John Roberts to hold a judge's ruling order the Trump administration to return a Maryland man deported to El Salvador.

News broke over the last couple of days that one of Chief Justice John Roberts’s good buddies is Norm Eisen, one of the chief instigators of the plot to destroy Donald Trump through Deep State manipulation and lawfare. Under a long-standing federal rule of judicial conduct banning even the “appearance of impropriety,” Justice Roberts’s close relationship with Eisen means he should step down. We all know who John Roberts is. He’s the squish who leapfrogged from having been an appellate court judge for only two years to suddenly being Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Since then, he embedded Obamacare...

Is the Supreme Court Compromised by Deep State Cronyism? In a bombshell revelation that’s sending shockwaves through conservative circles, it turns out Chief Justice John Roberts has been rubbing elbows with none other than Norm Eisen—the radical leftist operative who’s spent years orchestrating lawfare campaigns against President Donald Trump and his allies. According to a report from Revolver News, Roberts didn’t just bump into Eisen at a D.C. cocktail party. No, these two are apparently such “good pals” that Roberts jetted off to the Czech Republic for a week-long sleepover at Eisen’s lavish 150-room palace. It’s straight from the mouth...

Anyone with common sense can tell when there’s a setup for a big problem, and the Supreme Court keeps setting things up. ... We have watched the fruition of Obama’s diabolical change unfold for years. College tuitions have soared, causing these loans to become a yoke around the neck of young adults, delinquency has become commonplace, and ... my perplexity in 2005 when I found myself wondering why G.W. Bush had appointed Roberts, the “new guy,” directly into being Chief Justice of our Supreme Court rather than elevating a more experienced judge to that position. At the time, he seemed...

Many pundits, including lawyer Robert Barnes, are harping on impeachment of these rogue judges. I think that has little, if any, hope of success. Nor do I think defunding or changing the jurisdiction of the courts will work. We're easily 20 votes in the House and 20 votes in the Senate short of either of those options. But Trump is winning, and can continue to win, by other means, practical means, historically time-tested means. First understand that TIME IS ON OUR SIDE. These agencies have been closed. People have been fired. Buildings are locked up. Some are sold already. Policies...

“Randomly chosen.” The left is so brazen and emboldened, spit in our faces and tell us it’s raining or set fire to the country and tell us it’s global warming. President Trump calls for an “IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION” as activist Judge Boasberg gets a FOURTH Trump case ... Trump points out how corrupt DC’s courts are, and that it’s “statistically impossible” for Boasberg to be chosen “at random” over and over again. “He seems to be grabbing the Trump cases all to himself, even though it’s not supposed to happen that way.”

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld a Biden administration regulation on the nearly impossible-to-trace weapons called ghost guns, clearing the way for continued serial numbers, background checks and age verification requirements to buy them in kits online.Seven justices joined the opinion, authored by Justice Neil Gorsuch, upholding the rule. Two justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, dissented.(snip)Ghost guns are any privately made firearms without the serial numbers that allow police to trace weapons used in crime. The 2022 regulation was focused on kits sold online with everything needed to build a functioning firearm — sometimes in less than...

The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld Biden-era federal regulations on “ghost guns,” mail-order kits that allow people to build untraceable weapons at home – handing gun control groups a rare win at the conservative high court. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the opinion for a 7-2 majority that included both liberal and conservative justices in one of the most closely watched Supreme Court cases of the year. “Perhaps a half hour of work is required before anyone can fire a shot,” Gorsuch wrote. “But even as sold, the kit comes with all necessary components, and its intended function as instrument of...

When do we collectively realize that the judiciary is as corrupt as congress?

ARepublican member of Congress and a Harvard professor are calling for a ban on special interest judicial junkets following Just the News revealing that Judge James Boasberg attended a privately-funded conference with an anti-Trump organization last year. Just the News reported Sunday night that, months before he blocked President Donald Trump’s deportations of illegal alien gang members, Boasberg attended a privately-funded legal conference in Idaho that featured sponsors and speakers who have expressed clear anti-Trump sentiments — particularly on immigration and January 6th — and a theme that echoed the Democrat Party’s 2024 stated mission of "saving democracy." Federal judicial...

Jane Roberts – the wife of Chief Justice John Roberts – was paid $10 million as a legal "recruiter" for corporate firms with cases before the Supreme Court. A flagrant conflict of interest. The Court's justices are incapable of policing themselves. Congress must act. ... the spouse of US Chief Justice John Roberts was hauling in millions of dollars as a legal "recruiter" for corporate firms – some of which had cases before her husband's court:

At his 2005 Senate confirmation hearing to be chief justice of the United States Supreme Court, John Roberts famously invoked America's national pastime in describing his view of the judicial role in our constitutional order: "Judges are like umpires. Umpires don't make the rules, they apply them. The role of an umpire and a judge is critical. They make sure everybody plays by the rules, but it is a limited role. Nobody ever went to a ball game to see the umpire." If only! Unfortunately, Roberts' actual career on the high court has been one extensive repudiation of his lofty...

President Donald Trump on Thursday called on the Supreme Court to reverse injunctions placed on his administration's efforts to carry out mass deportations and other moves to downsize the scope of government. In a lengthy post on his Truth Social platform, Trump took aim at "Radical Left Judges" for imposing injunctions on some of his most controversial moves, such as deporting Venezuelan gang members. "Unlawful Nationwide Injunctions by Radical Left Judges could very well lead to the destruction of our Country!" he wrote. "These people are Lunatics, who do not care, even a little bit, about the repercussions from their...
