Roberts is a very conservative judge, but quite impartial IMO. Will be interesting to see how he will vote if really important Trump-related things go in SC, but I think that he and Alito might surprise some people. Obviously, Thomas (and most likely the two Trump appointments) will vote whatever comes from GOP.
Attacking the very institution that he is going to be relying on in a few months time.
Once again evidence that he doesn’t have a pair of brain cells to rub together.

He just needs to attack some founding fathers and he should have a full house on the bingo.
To add to this, I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes a trend for him. He’s going to bombard them with accusations of bias in the hope it influences their decisions and he creates a conspiracy narrative around them which the public can run with.
A little prick acting like a big prick.
President of the United States arguing with the Supreme Court chief justice.
Do we need more evidence of how sideways things are?

Sounds like the President of the USA publicly attacking the sanctity of the Judicial branch. Nothing dangerous about that. He's already questioned the integrity of elections (after winning one), and the idea of an independent media, so why not go for the full monty?
I mean, he's right that the court is a political tool. It's just unusual for someone to vocalise it so brazenly.
Entirely free of self-interest too....
Trump will argue with anyone who does not blindly agree with him.
He is not emotionally evolved.
Roberts has said he thought that some previous decisions had been decided politically.
He wants his court to be unbiased.
His words will be tested soon.

Did he just ask a Chief Justice to study the 'numbers' of the very cases that get put in front of him? That he literally has to study to make a judgement call on?
Great to see Roberts jabbing back. Hopefully he will also jab back when the inevitable Trump subpoena case hits SCOTUS.

Nobody outside of America knows who that guy is.
Many could point to the distinctive looking shaven headed girl that cried as being a victim of a shooting. But I don’t know her name and I followed the aftermath reasonably closely.
I’d be amazed if more than one in 100,000 people could name her. Even more surprised if one in a million people could point out the location of the shooting on a map.
Americans shoot each other. Tears get news. But there are always more guns, more bullets, more tears to feed the next cycle.
Denald. Meet Donald.
Trump's ego and stupidity has forced him to pick fights to distract from all of the awful headlines he's generating. Going to be glorious that he'll end up pissing off everyone he needs in his corner when the end times come.
holy fecking shitWait, in hindsight when the President of the US posts this there should be a despairing smiley.
john "guy who killed the voting rights act" roberts...welcome to the resistance
Ah weird reference but thanks I was on mobile then and not easy to search.
Personally I think Time should give it to Jamal Khashoggi or Moon Jae-in
Was sort of thinking that as well. Was thinking the last 3-6 months. Before that it felt like most officials were trying to appear professional with him, but now they don't even care.
He sounds so real!
I'm outside America
He definitely does this on purpose. No way that a person with as much info as he wants on tap thinks that still.....surely?
You’ve fallen for it enough times.

Good article by the WP. In other words he has prostitued the US. Pay us good money and we’ll say and do whatever you want.

Running the country like his own personal business. The Rupublicans are the enemy.
Yes. And there are 1.3 Billion people in China, 1.3 in India, 1.2 in Africa that wont know who the lad is.
All power to you if you’re following and supporting his efforts, they’re noble and worthwhile.
But they’re not even close to being globally recognised.
Hang on, I have to roll it back here a bit. We're talking about a prize given by an American publication, right? The winners of which have been overwhelmingly American in its history as far as I can see, unsurprisingly?
