He’s a facilitator not part of any resistance.

Did they honestly believe he wouldn’t come for them too? Everyone is disposable to him.

What would Rehnquist say about his protégés now?

Pretty weak tea, John. Your legacy is in the dumper.

Can we all hope that this Chief Justice will become the courageous hero who will to stop the dictator and save the democracy! Isn’t he the one to whom Trump said thank you at the inauguration????

But Roberts and his pathetic Court will soon say impeaching Judges is part of a President's "official acts" and you can't do anything about it.

Slow down, Tiger. Just because Roberts is voicing mild displeasure with fascism doesn't mean he won't vote for it on future SCOTUS decisions. Roberts is responsible for every bad ruling since he's been chief justice. He put us here!

Except the vote on Obamacare.

The Supreme Court does not want to put itself out of business. They need to hold firm. Tainted as it is at least they might save us from autocracy.

Fuck that guy.

Way too soon. -so far he is the big enabler

Purely self preservation Nothing more

Yes, and that is a glimmer of hope for actual anti-DOGE efforts. Roberts leads 5-4 to preserve his ego/legacy/SCOTUS as co-equal branch of federal government

Don’t get your hopes up.

I wouldn’t go that far.

He is telling Trump to appeal up to the SC. Trump/Elon are too dumb to understand this so they will likely blow it up anyway. But he’s trying to help them, not resist.

"Might I suggest the Herring sir? It's particularly red this evening..."

👍💯

Yeah, he will never be part of the resistance. Because he wrote that horrible immunity decision. We wouldn't be where we are, with Donald asserting core duties every time he wants to defy a court order, if it hadn't been for that ruling.

Pity that Roberts and his Justices gave Trump an unconditional get out of jail card. Hmmmm maybe that judgement was signed with auto pen?

It’s so plain to me that without rule of law, there is no law. If the president can override congress re spending, there is no representation. We had a revolution over this. It is our raison d’etre. Without this we are no longer us.

Everything I expected to happen is happening. It’s just happening faster than I ever expected. Reminds me of an article I read right around the election about how it took Hitler less than sixty days to break Germany.

Now he speaks? he presides over a corrupt court. He does nothing about it. He could have enacted ethics standards, but he did not. The Roberts Court. What a shameful legacy.😠

About damn time

So says the asshole who started the fire.

The Looming Battle Judiciary must assert its authority or risk irrelevance as Trump challenges legal constraints. If courts push back and he refuses to comply, a constitutional crisis looms, testing whether the judicial branch still holds power or if we shift towards fascism.

Our democracy is under siege! Most Americans don’t grasp the gravity of our moment. They don’t see the fall of democracy as a real threat. It’s something foreign and the idea of the U.S. collapsing into authoritarianism seems unthinkable. bsky.app/profile/tele...

It's not unthinkable from what we in Europe are seeing, it has already happened and the US is lost to us and is not longer a democratic leader in the world. Well done MAGA you have destroyed your country for a generation!!!!!!

They haven’t just destroyed it for a generation, the damage runs deeper. Rebuilding will take several generations.

Generation(s)....# to be determined.

🇨🇦 #ResisttRump’s🇺🇸

He must be trying to salvage his legacy.

I don't think Rodgers was very happy

It's about time the Judge woke up...do you think D.LIART. thanking them on camera helped open his eyes?

This is excellent. Trump will start attacking and insulting Roberts and the court’s love affair with trump will end.

He is not resisting. He is telling Trump to appeal like he always has and the Supreme Court will sort out his federal problems. Just like they always have.

That’s how I read it.

I think you could be right.

Exactly!!

Yeah but what will he do when the judges' orders are ignored...?

My thought exactly.

Always knew when trump tried to strip federal and SCOTUS judges powers there would be hell to pay. Well Justice John Robert’s put trump in His place today‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Oh now he notices that the Republicans have brought fascism to America when it starts to encroach on his job. Maybe if you weren't fucking bought and pay you would know that your job is now in jeopardy. You and your Republican twats on the supremely corrupt Court are responsible for fascism

How long until ‘47 calls for Chief Justice Robert’s impeachment?

He’s only doing this because it affects him personally. Typical republican reaction.

Weak response.Pity to give him credit at such a low bar but a something people are clinging too! He gave him the power to push all these norms so he can just take a seat. Trump thanked him and said he wouldn’t forget! And a crumb gets applauded!When he stands and openly takes down Trump let me know!

Do you think that is optimistic? I guess you have Alito, Kavanaugh and Thomas on the other side.

Won't last. According to reliable reporting, his next tRump ass-licking session is Thursday at 9 am. Clean your tongue and don't be late Johnny-baby!

Like his opinion matters anymore.

“Normal” doesn’t apply to Donny Clownshow

Has he gone left with ACB?

He helped create this monster.

Thanks John Roberts but most of us knew he was dangerous before you made him supreme leader.

Hmmm, not too much praise here.

You are far too optimistic. This is the guy who decided: To rewrite the 14th amendment Create a Presidential immunity out of nothing Allowed Trump to drag out all his legal proceedings

No…not really. Resistance? Seriously? Has that bar been lowered to this lawlessness?

NOT A HARBINGER OF FUTURE FINDINGS. Roberts [1] is miffed that Trump didn't just trust SCOTUS to complete the appeals process by supporting him & [2] hopes to regain 1 iota of respect for a NY minute by chiding the Criminal in Chief for mere words.

Talk is cheap. We'll see what happens when these cases get to him.

Bitch started this fire. 🔥

It's nothing but a weak reminder whispered softly at noone in particular. Direct a real order at the offender!

Don’t hold your breath. Weak sauce

he's starting to become familiar with the monster HE MADE...

A day late and a dollar short.

He’s not resistant. He’s just another 🍊 ass kissing corrupt Supreme Court judge.

No kidding, Justice Roberts. YOU helped create this monster, YOUR 3 SCOTUS colleagues, YOUR rulings that a president has absolute power and immunity, that he is above the law, that he can ignore lawful judicial rulings, that he's not held accountable to ANY judge... including YOU. Hang your head

Citizens United didn’t help one iota either—another fine mess you helped get us into

Not sure why this crooked fuckwad deserves any credit for saying what is fucking obvious to non-criminals. It's about time someone grew a pair. Let's see how long that lasts.

So I see a strongly worded letter from the Chief Justice. I think Roberts forgot about the lesson of Frankenstein. Your words don't mean shit now. You already gave him untouchable power. Even you can be dissapeared as an Executive Action. This is on you, Roberts.

Yes, we’ll see how long he “stays”. Pun intended. Funny not funny.

Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. Wait and see what they do.

He’s just telling him to send it up to SOCTUS where they will corruptly do his bidding making it legal.

We'll see. Gotta make sure he doesn't walk it back tomorrow...🤨

“Whoopsie, too late.”

More proof that Trump is a dictator.

This has… “when the brat you raised threatens the principal and they call the cops” …energy doesn’t it?

Karma has come for the supreme Court... Trump is coming for their power!!!

He isn't resisting, this is just window dressing. He's like Barr and McConnell - the important thing to him is permanent Republican rule. Trump is just a means to that end for him, so he doesn't want everything to be all about Trump. Good luck with that...

Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.

Yes, but he’s once again late to the party Mr. Conway.

Where’s my tiny violin?

He’s literally been paid to pretend to resist.

Holding my breath…

Dr. Frankenstein, I presume?

Hopefully he will continue his membership

Perhaps Trump's pat on the back and “Thank you. Thank you again. I won’t forget.” woke him up🙃

Nah fuck Roberts, he is 100% complicit

Every enabler, every step of the way, has given Trump the leeway to act exactly the way he's acting now. They never realize that he only interprets that as weakness and permission to do more.

Isn't it too late? I mean, he handed F47 a get out of jail free card and then expected him to actually obey laws?

Not exactly (like Princess Bride, only mostly dead) - immunity ruling means FELON47 can't be criminally liable. But SCOTUS can still rule that FFFOTUS regime cannot violate Constitution, federal law, etc. Just that 47 won't end up in jail over DOGE conduct.

I think so Cindy!

Whoa whoa whoa there, George. Don’t get too far over your skis, brother. I think we need to see a lot more than this to broadly welcome him to the cause. What he did was helpful (and correct) but he’s got a lot to atone for, having helped create this monster.

Not like Roberts truly means a damn thing by this statement! He will still do whatever he can to keep trumpanzee in power! George, you don't really think Roberts has ANY resistance in his body do you? Wait for cases to come before them, and he will be the Roberts we ALL know he is.

Give him a minute. He's gonna start splitting hairs.

He owns a big piece of this mess with this summer's presidential immunity decision. About time he starts cleaning it up!

Another way to interpret: “Don’t worry about those pesky lower court decisions”, Donny. “We will have your back when the appeal reaches us.”

Possibly not - Roberts leads 5-4 to preserve his ego/legacy/SCOTUS as co-equal branch of federal government

Trump will double down on harassing judges. Perhaps, a more strongly worded letter?

For hundreds of thousands of years, humans haven't given unlimited powers to the stupidest guy in the cave. But here we ARRRRE, Mr. Chief Jussssticccce.

He gave tRump immunity. 🤷🏻‍♀️ And NOW he has to deal with the fall-out. He's not resisting, he's doing a sorry-@ss job of trying to contain damage from HIS ruling.🤷🏻‍♀️

Sleepy John

Oh, he's rediscovered stare decisis! Too bad he can't get pregnant. Or be voted out of office because Musk donated a squijillion of "speech" to the other side.

Unless or until he rescinds that hideous Immunity decision, he's nowhere near welcome. He's tolerated at best.

I don't think that's what's happening here. It could be interpreted as a hint towards, just let the cases get to SCOTUS, we got your back. Who knows?!

I was thinking the same thing. He's just shutting down the cry for impeachment. He has no plan to go against the criminal so-called "president".

💯

Better late than never.

Take heart

“I won’t forget.”

Roberts: we'll give you what you want, just go through the proper channels.

We’ll see about that.

A little too late

Is this just his way of saying “Just hang on and let the appeal get to us and we’ll take care of you?”

Lord, I hope not.

Welcome to the party - NOW DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR AMERICA AND LOCK UP TRUMP AND HIS CRIMINAL TEAM.

Trump will just fire them all and close the court. Kings don't need to be second guessed.

I wouldn't be surprised if he orders some Article 3 judges impeached. Will he get convictions in the Senate? Probably not...requires two thirds. However, eventually tyrants get cooperation from the courts.

Sure, now that the leopard is eating his face…

Looks more like Roberts showing Susan Collins-like concern.

Be careful, George-And Everyone Else! Roberts Knows #SCOTUS Cannot Prevent, "Articles Of Impeachment", From Being Introduced In Congress. EVERY DECENT #AMERICAN - Already Knows - #SEXOFFENDER #CONVICT #Trump and #MAGA - WILL DO, Whatever The Law Can't FINALLY Keep Them From Doing!

Welcome?? Really??? He’s said to calm down, and we’ll take care of it for you!!!! Read those last two sentences!!!

I don't believe he is on your side.

Gee if only we could have foreseen what was going to happen!!!

This is headed towards leopards eating faces

Horseshit. He's a traitor through and through.

lol yeah no #WontForgetIt

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See yah in hell😉

“Resistance”? Ha. He’s just winking at Trump: “Just go through the appeals process, my dear President Trump. I got you.” bsky.app/profile/thes...

One small victory. Let’s see what happens tomorrow.

Too early to jump to conclusions.

It's anyone's bet how this politized supreme court will rule. That's a huge gamble.

Yes!!!!

He gave trump the highest power as president, immunity power. No former president had or needed this power before. He is not part of the resistance. The American people lost trust with the Supreme Court with what seems that the ‘right’ (Republicans) are complicit.

Bam! Not only that it’s not a very strong statement. For a rebuke. More like a little slap on the hand.😡

he's like - no! you have to appeal it to me so i can approve it, you can't just fire the underguy... loll at roberts. but maybe he is getting a little nervous, finally. what an idiot. you did it, you wear it johnny.

Roberts probably felt obligated after the world saw and heard Ftrump telling him “thank you and he’d never forget it”.

Right? What was that all about?

🙄

He’s responsible for everything. Elon is able to single-handily swing elections thanks to rollbacks that started with Citizens United.

HE GIVETH, AND HE TAKETH AWAY …

Too bad we are having to resist the monster you created. Fuck injustice Roberts.

About damn time!

Wouldn’t go that far, George. But fingers crossed, he’ll get there. Trump Musk will certainly push him to whatever limit we hope Roberts has. After the immunity decision, we gotta wait and see

Nah, no resistance from him. Just some talk with no walk. He and his 5 justices helped create this mess with the immunity ruling so no, Roberts and the others who set things up for this country and the constitution to topple gets no kudos or approval of any kind from me.

Performative nonsense. His words mean nothing.

Means little coming from the asshole who gave Trump king like powers

Nah, fuck him still…he created that monster.

Where's the review for SCOTUS?

A show of courage anything else where that came from

Roberts better watch out. Trump will have him primaried.

Don't get too excited... dude is predisposed to disappoint.

a too tardy + tepid response from the "immunity" provider .. how long before he gets a quiver in his bottom lip?

I don’t trust these corrupt judges.

Ha..just will rubber stamp Trump’s actions if/when make it to SCOTUS.

The more I read that statement the more it seems like a “wink wink” for the Butcher’s benefit. Like, “stop the crazy talk. File your writ. We’ll take care of you”.

💯

yep

Can some tell Chief Justice Roberts that we are a little past the point of being in disagreement…..we’re all fucking pissed 😡

I wrote this for those of us still trying to reach relatives who are STILL fucking clueless. bsky.app/profile/smus...

Resistance? Not honest umpire Johnny Roberts. All he is saying to donnie toddler is - chill dude, we got your back!

Wishful thinking. He is only speaking up because they are threatening judges. Robert has not changed his stance on anything regarding Trump.

…and grab a Snickers…it’s gonna be a while..

“Revenge of the Robes “. Where is @markhamillofficial.bsky.social when you need him.

It's sad that everyone has to keep explaining to the president of the United States how government works. Maybe we should require a civics exam before they get to take office.

He is talking about his own impeachment right? Not Trump's?

I think what Roberts said boils down to, “Don’t take the law into your own hands. Leave it to me and let me handle it, all nice and legal-like.”

And, “don’t thank me in public.”

We’re not making him or ACB SCOTUS heroes just yet. They still have a lot of ‘splainng to do.

Trump is late night posting again. I believe he has Sundowners. Can he be forced to have an examination? I’m sure it’s dementia and sundowners

chng.it/LPXRqWK5F2

You created the monster, Dr. Frankstein.

If they are smart, they will already be thinking about how to separate Trump from the military.

NO, NO NO. George he is just saying 'let us rule in your favor so 'we' can maintain" the appearance of Oz's curtain. This is not resistance but a bending over and giving unto the the Short-Fingered Vulgarian

I hope--or is he just telling the Miller/Honan/Musk/Trump presidency to wait until it gets to him?

🙄

Pshaw. Roberts’ statement today will forever read “Resistance for me, but not for thee” when viewed through the lens of Citizens United and Trump v US .

It’s Roberts’ mess to fix.

Roberts only did this when it threatened the entire Justice system. Where was he but enabling "him" with all his opinions on January 6?

Screw JR for Citizens United, overturning Roe, presidential immunity, and allowing Alito and Thomas to be unethical f*cks.

Chief Justice John Roberts: "We have to go through the normal appellate process..."

Chief Justice John Roberts right now

Resistance against something he enabled.

Not convinced.

Now taking bets… how long till we get in all CAPS tweet in response from the toddler in chief calling Roberts a radical left judge

In 3.........2..........

OR ... some MAGA member of Congress try to impress Dear Leader introduces a bill to impeach Roberts too. 😡

@gtconway.bsky.social Always one for optimism however, this only feels like a momentary placation as the resistance is rising. Keep up the fight and the great work you’re doing to speak truth to power.

Mrs. Roberts definitely won't be invited to Ginni Thomas's next cross burning now.

Or….is Robert’s saying that just let the process play out and I’ll save you!?!

Let’s hope he stays here.

We shall see. Time will tell. Everybody has a limit. Let’s hope Chief Justice Roberts has finally realized his mistakes and will stand for truth and justice.

I’m not convinced

No. When you create the monster, you either feed it or kill it. This tepid statement comes nowhere near either one.

Rapist got to hang out with other rapists. Just ask the Republican Party. Full of rapists and their rapist in Chief is their favorite buddy. Republicans are 100% responsible for fascism in America

He granted kingly powers to Trump. He legitimized American Oligarchy with Citizen’s United. He’s created the problem. He could easily walk back the decisions, guaranteed he won’t. My money is he’ll do the Washington 2 step and feign indignation for a few days until the next Trump bonfire.

Or just a signal that they will overturn judgements trump doesn't like

We need more judges who are single handedly trying to save America 🚨 WISCONSIN 🚨 Today is Early Voting Do not let fElon buy the votes (Again!!) @crawfordforwi.bsky.social

April 5th National protests please share 💜 handsoff2025.com?utm_source=s...

Come Onnnnn! Too Little…Too Late

Bringing a bucket of water to the house fire he helped start

youtu.be/lSovDO17PMo?...

It will take a lot more than this statement to consider him part of the resistance. Especially, when this is about retaining his own power as much as calling out the DOJ and administration

The leopard finally coming for his face.

Screw Roberts! He's been in the tank for Trump since the beginning. He's just worried now that he'll lose his own power.

That's all very judicial of Roberts, pointing FFOTUS Kraznov the DIC to the appellate process, but let's wait until SCOTUS rules on the appeal before canonizing Roberts.

The jury is still out on his joining the resistance as far as I’m concerned.

Why? He is not saying anything that show he is for law and order over his partisan political views, he is just hinting that the Supreme Court will make the final decision and then they will make it official and side with the Orange Clown.

Would need a two-thirds majority in the Senate. chatgpt.com/share/67d9df...

Wait until he finds out the orange guy is going to ignore his rulings soon, too.

Pfft ... Resister, my ass. Chief #SCROTUS just realized he done fucked up giving 🍊💩 carte blanche with our government and a legal free pass.

Agree but hoping for the best outcome

That's all we can do.

You may be speaking too soon.
