John Roberts Does not Deserve America’s Respect or Trust: He Does Deserve our Middle Fingers

It is an irrefutable fact that the current Supreme Court is corrupt. Six of the justices, including Chief Justice John Roberts, are biased towards right-wing extremism, and five are loyal to Trump. Not one of the six right-wing supporting justices is performing the jobs defined by the Constitution when they were sworn into office. When they committed the ultimate betrayal of their only purpose on one of the darkest days in American history, June 24, 2022, by repealing a 49-year-old decision by a legitimate Supreme Court, Roe v Wade, they prove that they are the most corrupt and unprincipled Court in history.

Roberts is obviously ashamed of himself and his five corrupt associates. He also appears to be frightened, aware that our nation has become the most violent in the nation thanks to Trump and his fake Republican Party. No longer is violent reaction exclusive to the right-wing extremists who are loyal to Trump and his fascist policies.

“There is of course no place for violence directed at judges for doing their job,” Roberts wrote, explaining that he felt “compelled to address four areas of illegitimate activity that … do threaten the independence of judges on which the rule of law depends”.

The four are violence, intimidation, disinformation and threats to defy the law.

I can offer Roberts an answer which represents the opinions of all patriotic Americans: “F**k you.” You sold yourself to the fascists in our government, and you do not deserve mercy or understanding. To quote something my grandmother said: “you made your bed, now lie in it.”

I am not a violent man. I would accept the label of “pacifist.” However, like a growing number of Americans who think as I do, I am angry and no longer willing to allow fascists on the right side of the aisle to destroy my country and what it once stood for.

Trump is undeniably a traitor to our nation. Therefore, Roberts and any other politician who supports his destructive plans is also a traitor. Roberts is nothing more than an arrogant politician who refuses to face the fact that he is nothing more than a public servant. However, those who call themselves Republicans believe that they rule over us.

I love the idea, the dream which is my nation, although Trump destroyed many of its principles between 2017 and 2021. I will never surrender or accept Trump as my president. My standards are high and I will never change.
