John Roberts’ Obsession With SCOTUS
Legitimacy Has Severely Delegitimized It
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 3/20/2025 2:41:55 PM
The chief irony of Chief Justice John Roberts’ tenure at the Supreme Court is that the man so doggedly devoted to defending the judiciary has done so much to undermine it. In so doing, he has threatened not only the court’s legitimacy but the republic itself. His latest such act wasn’t an abomination of a ruling on the level of Obamacare, the census citizenship question, or DACA; a faulty probe into a devastating leak; or a defense of the indefensible censorship-industrial complex. It was a terse three-line statement that may prove the most consequential — and corrosive — move of them all.

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump offered to let the United States take control of nuclear power plants in the war-torn country of Ukraine in order to serve as a deterrent against ongoing attacks by Russian forces.
According to The Hill, President Trump made the offer during a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, amid ongoing efforts to negotiate a ceasefire between the two warring countries.
“American ownership of those plants would be the best protection for that infrastructure and support for Ukrainian energy infrastructure,” said National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a joint statement after the call between the two leaders.

“No one tells Boston how to take care of our own,” Boston Mayor Michelle Wu declared Wednesday at her annual address in Fenway. “Not kings, and not presidents who think they are kings. Boston was born facing down bullies,” WCVB-TV reported.
Wu took direct aim at President Donald Trump and used her state of the city speech at MGM Music Hall to attack the president and to reassert her support for illegal migrants.
In another segment, Wu exclaimed, “We stand with immigrants,” repeated the line in Spanish, and then exclaimed, “Boston doesn’t back down.”
A married couple in Orange County, CA, were deported this week to Colombia after living in the U.S. illegally for 35 years.
After breaking into our country, Nelson Gonzalez, 59, and Gladys Gonzalez, 55, spent years trying to legalize their status. According to KTLA 5, a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement explained that the couple had “exhausted all legal options to remain in the U.S. between March 2000 and August 2021.” But they still didn’t return home.
The couple has three daughters, aged 23 to 33, who were born in the U.S., which makes them legal citizens. KTLA 5 says, “They were devastated when they learned their parents had been
Close to 40,000 illegal aliens from China are now living in the United States despite having been ordered deported by a federal immigration judge, a new report suggests.
“Roughly 390,000 undocumented Chinese immigrants live in the US, according to the Migration Policy Institute, with more than a quarter residing in California,” The Guardian reports. “Nearly 38,000 of them are thought to have final removal orders, according to ICE data from November.”
The Biden administration allowed illegal immigration from China to boom in the U.S. from 2021 through 2024. Last year, for instance, the House Homeland Security Committee published southern border data showing that Chinese illegal immigration had increased to record levels.
A former FBI agent said the continued high-profile arrests of the nation’s most wanted signals law enforcement has refocused its efforts towards its core mission.
FBI Director Kash Patel said it has arrested three fugitives from the agency’s top ten Most Wanted list since President Donald Trump returned to the White House.
Nicole Parker, a former FBI agent and Fox News contributor, explained, “This is the FBI that I was proud to work for, and I’m really excited to see that they have already arrested several of the FBI’s Most Wanted fugitives. When President Trump took over in 2017 in his first administration, I was a violent crime agent in Miami,
Former First Lady Michelle Obama donned a new hairdo during her latest podcast interview with Hollywood actor Seth Rogan.
Michelle Obama launched a new podcast with her brother, Craig Robinson, and it’s a total flop.
The new venture, the “IMO” podcast, was launched by Higher Ground, the Obamas’ media company.
The latest episode titled, “Navigating Alzheimer’s Disease with Seth and Lauren Rogan” only garnered 7,100 views in 15 hours.
A former First Lady and Hollywood actor still can’t drum up viewers. Americans are done with anti-American elitists.
The brothers and a former roommate of Laken Riley’s killer, Jose Ibarra, are set to be deported from the United States.
The decision was announced on March 19, 2025, following their guilty pleas to charges related to possessing fraudulent green cards.
Ibarra, a 26-year-old Venezuelan illegal alien, was convicted in November 2024 of murdering Riley while she jogged near the University of Georgia campus earlier in the year. He was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.
The case drew global attention and resulted in the passage of the Laken Riley Act in January 2025, which expanded deportation powers for illegal aliens who have been accused of crimes.
The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, announced a major seizure of drugs.
On Thursday morning, Noem announced that the U.S. Coast Guard offloaded more than 45,000 pounds of illegal drugs valued at over $500 million at Port Everglades in Florida.
According to Noem, the crews of U.S. Coast Guard cutters Stone and Mohawk seized the drugs in 14 interdictions in the eastern Pacific Ocean.
Noem said during remarks to reporters, “In the first 100 days of President Trump’s administration, he has already delivered on his campaign promises of making America safe again and to help the American people to be more secure as well.”
Joe Biden emerged from his Delaware basement bunker last week to deliver his first speech since leaving office and virtually no one noticed.
Since leaving office in January, Biden has only popped his head up to give a pre-recorded message for the DNC’s winter meeting.
Biden delivered a speech at the National High School Model United Nations (NHSMUN) last week and not one media outlet covered the event.
The most popular president in US history who garnered 80 million votes in 2020 gave a speech after leaving office and no one cared or even noticed.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has given Sen. John Fetterman a silver-plated pager in acknowledgement of the Pennsylvania Democrat's praise for the Jewish state's Lebanon pager operation.
Fetterman, who has been a vocal supporter of Israel, received the gift Wednesday during a visit with his wife, Gisele, to the prime minister’s office in Jerusalem. Netanyahu’s wife, Sara, was also present.
The pager is symbolic of Israel's September 2024 operation in which it killed dozens of Hezbollah members in Lebanon by hacking and detonating their pagers.
A new report claims that an agency that Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency just shuttered was on a satirical level of corruption, living like wealthy aristocrats off taxpayer funds.
Trump ordered seven federal agencies either to be downsized or to be eliminated altogether last week, and The Daily Wire accuses one, the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS), of being particularly egregious in its unconstitutional and unconscionable waste. Supposedly, FMCS is an “independent agency” that mediates between businesses and unions, with a workforce of 230, of which 60 supposedly worked in a massive D.C. office building (when they showed up to work at all).

Chuck Schumer Admits He Wakes Up at 3 AM Worried About Elon Musk and 'Oligarchs'
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has sparked a wave of reactions after admitting that he sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night worried about the future of the country, specifically mentioning “oligarchs” and suggesting that Elon Musk is one of his main concerns.
During a conversation addressing his anxieties over the influence of certain powerful figures in the US, Schumer stated:
Investigative journalist Bad Kitty Unleashed reported on Thursday that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is involved in a secretive, invite-only club for elite judges in Washington, DC.
The secretive club America Inns of Court also includes the radical America-hating judges James Boasberg, Beryl Howell, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Amit Mehta—all hard-left judges and Trump-haters.
John Roberts has been Chief Justice of the Supreme Court since September 2005. What in the world is he doing fraternizing
LOS ANGELES, California — The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has received 270,000 applications from purported homeowners in the recent L.A. fires — though only abut 13,000 homes were destroyed.
A FEMA official gave the staggering figure — more than twenty times the number of eligible applicants — as concerns about fraudulent applications continue to plague the agency, more than two months after the fire. As Breitbart News has reported, many displaced residents had tried applying for FEMA relief, only to find that someone else had already applied in their name and with their address, locking them out of the system.
FEMA attempts to make relief fund to apply for,
A federal judge on Thursday barred DOGE from accessing social security systems.
US District Judge Ellen Hollander, an Obama appointee, said DOGE’s workers are on a “fishing expedition.”
“The DOGE Team is essentially engaged in a fishing expedition at SSA, in search of a fraud epidemic, based on little more than suspicion. It has launched a search for the proverbial needle in the haystack, without any concrete knowledge that the needle is actually in the haystack,” Judge Hollander wrote.
Far-left organizations like AFL-CIO, the American Federation of Teachers and other plaintiffs sued the Social Security Administration, Elon Musk, DOGE and other Trump advisors.

If you ever doubted that Washington’s corrupt cartel of Democrat law firms, judges, NGOs, and deep state bureaucrats is a machine designed to thwart the Trump administration, just watch as judge after judge blocks the president’s ability to keep his campaign promises.
It may not be brown paper bags changing hands, but this lawfare that defies the people’s will is every bit as corrupt.
It will be up to the Supreme Court to define the limits of presidential authority, but Chief Justice John Roberts’ preemptive scolding of Trump for musing about judicial impeachment doesn’t bode well for the president.
Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Prime” that the Republican Party was “at war with the government of the people.”
Raskin said, “The Republicans are in a full-blown attack on Medicaid. They want to cut $880 billion from the Medicaid program. Elon Musk has said Social Security, of course, is the big one. That’s the big target that they’re aiming for, and they are hollowing out all kinds of federal agencies and departments that the American people depend on, like NIH, which does the cutting edge medical research. And it’s now got swept up in their whole anti-science crusade. Same thing with, you know, the FAA.
Far-left Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) sparked yet another political uproar after making a disgusting wish concerning the wealthiest man in the world.
As The Daily Beast reported, Crockett spoke Wednesday on a livestream organized by #TeslaTakedown, which has engaged in multiple actions designed to harm the company. These actions include recently protesting outside the vehicle manufacturer’s showrooms, urging Americans to sell their Teslas and dump the company’s stock.
The group is scheduled to hold its biggest day of economic sabotage on March 29.
Fix VOA, Don’t Kill It

President Trump’s move against Voice of America, the executive branch agency that oversees it, and other U.S. international broadcasters and grantee media is an understandable reaction to decades of managerial lapses and an organizational structure that has remained immune to accountability and oversight for too long.
On Friday night, Trump signed an order reducing the functions of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) to only those required by statute. His administration also moved to cut grants extended to Radio Free Asia and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty — nonprofit organizations that receive all their funding from USAGM — and suspend the full-time staff of VOA, which is a federal entity.

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said Wednesday on “Morning Joe” that President Donald Trump was attempting to “disappear people” with the deportation of hundreds of Venezuelans from the United States to El Salvador.
McCaskill said, “Yeah, and let’s not forget there was a single judge in Texas that tried to say that Mifepristone could not be used anywhere, even in states where abortion was legal. And let’s not forget there was a single judge in Texas that struck down overtime minimum wage stuff that Biden put in place for federal contractors, one single judge. So, and here’s the thing, as you said Joe, it’s really important to remember this.
“All the world’s a stage, and the men and women merely players,” wrote William Shakespeare in “As You Like It.” It’s a simple, straightforward metaphor: In the game of life, everyone has a part to play.
Furthermore, all the parts matter. Like your third-grade teacher told you (after giving you the smallest, lousiest part in the school play), “There are no small roles, only small actors. Go stand in the background and pretend to be a tree, or something.”
The metaphor actually works better with political parties than in the outside world, because political parties are closed ecosystems. In partisan politics, the “players” have clearly defined roles;
