I *highly* recommend that folks watch this full interview.
I'm tried. I'm just **so** angry. Maybe tomorrow. I'm in the middle of "The Peoples History of the United States," and getting angrier.
Did you mean to send this to somebody else? Not sure what the context is.
Nevermind.
Well, I'm sorry you're angry. There's a lot for people to be angry about.
Always love the Luttig!
You know, I really wish that Crapo and Risch would watch this.
The Democrats bear a lot of responsibility for losing elections. No one needs to hear another person like me recite a list of horrendous mistakes they made that led to GOP hegemony. But Roberts and Trump and GOP Congress and MAGA are aligned. The fascism is on them, and they will pay.
Very interesting discussion. I was impressed by the story of the family that reads the Declaration of Independence every July 4th. Pretty amazing! 💙🇱🇷💙
The CONSTITUTION has holes in it, of course, but IT didn't fail. SCOTUS, the GOP legislators, and the Trump regime purposely failed it at the expense of us all.
Damn commercials.
It has been a partisan nightmare with most decisions
Thank you for sharing this interview on the eve in July 4, 2025.
I'm blocking motherfuckers liberally. Life is too short.
Amazingly, Roberts' comment also demonstrates he's too conceited to realize that he and his majority on the bench are responsible for turning the judicial process into a partisan farce.
So I was a really terrible college newspaper editor because I was trying to make my student writers write like my colleagues at the actual local paper but I had no idea how to teach or herd cats. You know whose fault my disastrous editorial decisions were definitely not? My readers.
Judge Luttig put himself bravely out on a limb, with his criticism of his friend Chief Justice Roberts. Bravo!
Fuck you chief justice asshole. You're Legacy will be shit just like you
I’d like him to please explain?!?!
Wow. Just wow.
But Roberts is a corrupt cunt, so there is that to consider.

When #JusticeRoberts says these things, he loses all credibility with The People. Does he know that? We really want to know. Maybe you can continue this conversation. @acyn.bsky.social
What? What are you talking about ‘the internal workings of the court’? Tell us.
Republicans better take responsibility now!
Robert’s equals the respect given to Taney. History will excoriate him.
Roberts and the other Reich Wing justices have done as much as any other body to enable and encourage Trump in his quest for the crown he so badly wants! And Trump, for all practical purposes, wears it already.
We didn't kill America. You did.
Extremely offensive.
John Roberts is culpable for the moral decay in this country.
Somebody has something on him and they’re using it now.
Roberts is another person who can do nothing for me but die.
Disappointed does begin to explain how we the people think of him. I will start with POS.
John Roberts is a complicit coconspirator in the destruction of democracy in America.
"Trump was shaking hands down the aisle, exiting the House chamber after his address last night, network cameras caught him as he turned to Chief Justice John Roberts, patted him on the back, and said, “Thank you again. Thank you again. I won’t forget.”"
The worst Chief Justice ever.
The Trumplican Party leadership, aka, the orange guy, has make it perfectly OK for his cult members to question, threaten and harm the judiciary. How many times has the orange guy complained and ranted on how he has been treated so unfairly by the judiciary. Roberts should be blaming the source.
Why are we still discussing this court??? Propublica released credible reporting of justice Thomas accepting bribes and it didn't even generate an investigation. That is it. That is all you need to know about this court. It is compromised and nobody cared.
Roberts needs to get a grip on reality. Dems shouldn't have backed MAGA candidates in Primaries. But, Mitch McConnell has been a catalyst for all of this. From changing rules with justices to not impeaching the Republican President after the insurrection. I lay the blame at his feet!
Democrats are “every bit as responsible”? Granted we have failed to stop the criminal madness, but the Nazis running the death camps were responsible for their actions in a way that the Germans living next door were not. Not to forgive inaction but it’s not equivalent to action.
American freedom and democracy is dying before our eyes.
That pisses me off.
Gall in robes.
John Roberts is not a moderate, pragmatic originalist. He’s every bit as destructively MAGA as Alito and Thomas, just quieter.
Allowing the rise of a white Christian nationalist dictatorship is not something I would do as a stupid accident.
So you're saying your "friend" knows better. What does that make him--and why is he not your former friend?
The SC 's practice of nonpartisanship is no more as Roberts attests. And showing us ,all of America, you will not get a fair shake or judgement or trial etc if you are not in their preferred party The fucking blindfold is off the scales of justice Corrupted. America is dead or dying
Remove Robert’s.
📌
The chief justice needs to STFU. He is a major part of the problem
‘There is nothing john Roberts is not aware of.’ Unless roberts is the one who did it, there were five possible scotus justices who could have leaked the roe pre-decision. He couldn’t even figure that out.
I'd say that Roberts played his role in this slashing of the constitution to subject us into this constitutional crisis. Mercy and more is needed now.
Fuck Roberts. He will be forever remembered as the Chief Justice who enabled a madman that ushered in the final downfall of the United States. I hope he rots in hell.
If the Chief Justice is indeed self-aware, then he must understand the danger he’s put us in. Checking the power of the President is his job and he has not done it well. That has imperiled us all. It has put our children at risk because it will be another generation B4 we get a good SCOTUS.
If Democrats are “responsible,” then I might agree in that Obama didn’t play hardball when he had a chance to confront McConnell. Maybe I’m missing something, but it seems Dems have treated Republicans like rules of decorum applied. They don’t.
Neither Obama nor Biden wanted that smoke. Everyone who voted for them is paying for their cowardice.
100% agree. Republicans are street fighters. Dems are like Charlie Brown thinking Lucy won’t yank the football at the last second.
Aptly put, albeit with far more tragic outcomes. The last Democratic cohort that understood the dirty underside of politics were JFK's dad generation (who was part gangster), the JFK-RFK generation, who were a bit less brutal seeing as both got bullets for their troubles, and LBJ--
--who had big nuts and wasn't shy about flexing them. But Vietnam crippled him, and he got old and tired. Ever since, most Dem pols are like bright-eyed PhD post docs who confuse the map of politics with the territory. As far back as the Nixon mafia GOP cadres play like no-holds barred insurgents.
As soon as those shitstains blocked his Supreme Court nominee, it should have been gloves off and ultimate opposition.
100% agree. Republicans are street fighters. Dems are like Charlie Brown thinking Lucy won’t yank the football at the last second.
Not all Dems. 💀
Not anymore.
Roberts means that our electing a black man to the presidency (twice) makes us responsible for the Tea Party/MAGA/Trump. We have heard this bs repeatedly - Roberts believes it.
John Roberts is an open and fascistic enemy of the US Constitution and the American Republic. He is on the same moral plane as the Nazi lawyers who made Hitler’s government function smoothly.
John Roberts IS offensive. He projects the viewpoint: “I’m a justice and you’re not, so who cares?” He suffers from the same viewpoint as Republicans also share: “I’m in Congress and you’re not, so I don’t care what YOU think. I do what OLDdonOLD tells me to do.
📌
📌
Luttig is fucking responsible for Clarence Fucking Thomas and *now* he’s worried about the mess he fucking helped create?
At this point I am thankful for any conservative who doesn't embrace fascism. Yes, there needs to be a reckoning how America ended up in this mess but right now every voice against it should be amplified.
John Roberts is trying to deflect his contribution to the downfall of the country - Citizens United, Trump immunity, no ethics rules for SC, not investigating the Dobbs leak. Those are not on the Dems! The Roberts era will live in infamy. Asshole!
CC: John Roberts
Wish Biden had stacked the court. He was trying to keep above that but Trump will do that and more.
That’s BS!!
Roberts is a lying traitor and a coward.
SCOTUS IS EVERY BIT AS ROTTEN AS TRUMP! HISTORY WILL RECORD IT...
Not ALL…three have held this Administration accountable, six have not!
You got that RIGHT!WIFEY TOO!
Roberts let the dogs out for corporations are people w/Citizens United. So choke on it. Republicans proved are such spineless idiots caving to peer pressure & a conman’s lies. Have fun now, bc you are going out !
democrats mocked progressives in 80s & 90s for using the words theocratic fascism but now warn after the finish line? women citizens turned out to help activists like a BOSS not demBOYS look in the mirror where the fuck have y'all been? if you were informed citizens they'd never have come this far
I find John Roberts OFFENSIVE!
📌
Yeah John Roberts is a bit myopic 🧐
I’ll do the unthinkable and agree with Roberts’. We’re here because norms and economy took precedence over EVERYTHING! It did when Obama told us to Move On from the Bush war crimes. Biden finished it off with an AG he KNEW wouldn’t prosecute. “Garland is a good man”- DJT I knew then the fix was in.
John Roberts is a major architect of the new fascist States of America. Damn him to Hell. And his bought-and-paid-for GOP SCOTUS majority. And Mitch McConnell for playing a key role in the destruction of American democracy and the shredding of the Constitution.
Roberts trying to blame Democrats merely cements the fact that he is a traitor to his oath to defend the Constitution as well as a cowardly weasel who can't own his own actions. Since Citizens United, he has done everything to undermine democracy...gutted the civil rights act, voting rights,& Roe.
Pretending that Roberts gives a fuck is a mistake.... these mother fuckers are burning America down to ashes
You are very much right. They're gonna kill millions and millions of people just for the s**** and giggles.
But why? What's their end game?
The collapse of the united states.
The art of the greedy criminal glob. Maim and murder, glob onto what is left.
That makes him an even worse person.The fact that he knows things are bad and still continues to side with Trump.Even if he felt like the courts weren’t working the way he believes they should.That’s not something to deal with when we have a lunatic in power.Fuck him and the other Republican judges!
Coming from the facist "supreme" court that gave the green light to a facist dictator "wanna-be".
youtu.be/LdCpPzDC8dQ?...
John Roberts needs to go 🖕🏻🖕🏻himself!
Here doesn't care.
Trump/Putin has dirt on him! I am now more convinced then ever.
I think pubs offer short term gratification instead of long term sustainability. It's addiction. I don't think the messaging is wrong. I think we need to this this like Al Anon.
approach this
The undemocratic ARCHAIC ELECTORAL COLLEGE is SOLELY the reason for this horrific mess!
FUCK YOU JOHN ROBERTS
Fuck him. That’s the tweet.
There is no rule of law anymore.
We finally realize that Roberts is just as vile as his hero, donnie rump
Roberts' legacy, as well as that of his fellow arch conservatives, will be crap, but they don't give a damn! They're here for the present moment, in which billionaires wine & dine & fete them. Roberts himself is the wealthiest of the SCOTUS with a net worth of $25M. www.forbes.com/sites/kylemu...
Here's the same video from YouTube. Be sure to RETURN TO YOUTUBE to watch it, as Bluesky will pop you to the top of your feed. I've linked to the YouTube video, so you can speed up the video. Lots of these legal minds try to speak a bit slower for us. I prefer faster. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgTS...
Well he is right, there is nothing in the constitution that says a justice can not be arrest for crime the average American can be charged with, let’s start with taking bribes.
For Roberts to have said anything else would have been to accept full responsibility. And I am thinking he's that kind of man.
Unbelievable!!!
John Roberts “institutionalist?” Nahhh John Roberts White Shoe Nationalist Yep, that’s it
That’s such bullshit! He should be ashamed of this not so “supreme” court and start rectifying this situation. He knows right from wrong (I think?)
He absolutely does not!
john roberts rules in favor of project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation
this guy is a judge?
If he had allowed Jack Smith's case to move forward we wouldn't be here.
This!!!!!!!!!!!
John Roberts takes cues from Leonard Leo and Opus Dei.
Wut? Dude, we're not all as stupid as him and his coworkers. Shit, I bet I can cook a steak, change a tire and start a fire faster than it takes him to take a floppy turd. Fuck him.
5 + 3 + 1 = 9 More 2nd grade math anyone?
6 + 3 = 9
If democrats had been open about bidens health issues harris would have won 👍
Absolutely correct
We are screwed. All of us! Compromised Roberts’ court killed democracy and the rule of law to kiss the ass of a cruel and criminal president.
Well Roberts is a corrupt hack so...
Justice Roberts can go pound sand.
John Robert's will be responsible for the destruction of America and Democracy
History will remember Roberts but not in a good way.
No one can “force” SCOTUS todo anything.
I am 65 + and in all my years l have never seen anything like this.I think the major slide for the Supreme Court can be attributed to Bush Vs Gore mess and then what McConnell and Trump did..capitulation to Trump and Trumps politicization of the court is what killed their reputation.
John Roberts is nothing but a criminal mass murderer now. Yesterday's case will be used as evidence to hang 6 "Justices" when this is over. He's not smart...he's a coward and a Nazi.
From your mouth to God's ears!
The Gods already know and why he'll end up in Niflheim.
You might have had Bernie in 2016. And most likely, again in 2020.
It's true
Why is he friends w/such an immoral indecent person? All these whyte old dudes like to claim theyre the good guys” but he and others wouldnt have the babbling talk shows or get spots on cable networks to daily rage bout buffoon if Kamala or Biden won-and these clowns did their part-1/2
They did their part calling Biden old-I admit I fell for their tricks during Trump admin watching Rachel but then I saw how they did Biden and they’ll never apologize for it if they were sorry bc they were ok with it bc they wanted to make xtra $ fawn on themselves/expertise and stay in spotlight.
What an amazing person Judge Luttig is.
BIGTIME
No one- no single individual - is more responsible for this mess than John Fuckface Roberts.
The French know well how to handle this. I’d stop worrying about playing a blame game.
John Robert’s is responsible for a lot of this. He has backed the trump regime all the way in this disastrous destruction of our democracy. He is culpable.
Roberts so full of his own self-importance he'd rather preserve the illusion that he and the other conservative justices are acting on firm legalistic ground than admit he's a partisan hack that knows he's created the worst court legacy in US history. So corrupt he can't blame the correct parties.
Fuck John Roberts! His head on a pike! NOW!
👀
He certainly could explain his reasoning for his Treasonous acts...I am Curious about it.
John Roberts is nothing but a fucking whore, and a traitorous whore at that!
My dear Mr Chief Justice. Do yourself a favor and wear the cheap suit you made for yourself by making sure that trump has immunity. This is on YOU and McConnell. So wear it. And please feel free to stuff your outrage while you’re at it.
I...was...waiting...for...him...to...make...his...points, but fell asleep.
Says the man who was bought and paid for. FU Roberts.
It is possible that justice Roberts is one of two things (or maybe both): 1. A hardcore racist. 2. A christian nationalist. Partisan politics and authoritarianism are his jam.
The ones who voted third party or not at all share a lot of the blame.
He pings closeted, like several of the most vicious right-wing hard-liners (several of them in Congress).
Along with those who don’t bother to vote.
So smart….. what good is his intellectual intelligence if used in service of self, and Trump’s ego and power.
Luttig, tells it like it is, but...he's wrong about one thing: that Roberts is intelligent. No, he's a very stupid and corrupt person who has done so much damage, he could've spoken out, long ago.
Roberts is just part of trump’s nazi regime. Dems are responsible for being Dems only because they are the people John Roberts is trying to destroy. Roberts is a traitor to the US and our CONSTITUTION.
John "Shiteater" Roberts.
📌
He is more responsible than anyone else.
Roberts is to blame for making Trump king.
Roberts is trying to feel better about himself
His Jesus forgives him. He dgaf.
Robbers better have an escape plan, because none of the judges are required now, ICE has a larger budget than a good portion of our military, and no one is questioning a single thing they do. During which dictatorship in the U.S. did they keep judges and lawyers around? Ah. Right. Never. 🤔
Nah. He really does not care. He just likes projecting. It’s the Republican way 🙄
Does he realize we all see him for the piece of shit he is, though?
Boy, howdy!
He's smart enough to know his legacy is ruined.
For a long while he seemed to care about not being seen as a complete monster. Now, he clearly no longer cares.
Yes, there used to be a sense that he respected the Constitution and the law but now he's fully aligned himself with the cult. I don't think he's a true believer at all yet this is the path he's chosen, overseeing the end of democracy.
I don't know what his game is. He saved Obamacare but he's also been ok with some deeply problematic opinions, He wrote the opinion in Trump v US. By last year he no longer cared if he is remembered as a monster.
I am not offended by a salient point; Democrats ARE complicit in the Republican usurpation of our Constitution. Republicans are Republicans, since 1932 they were clear of their intentions to undo Progressivism, it was their job but it was ours to see they never got the keys to the power.
Wow sounds like something an abusive husband may say😞
It is. Dems didn't go up under his dress like maga did...
Maybe not every bit as but if you don’t acknowledge the Democrats/DNC’s complacency, loyalty to lobbyists, nothing will ever change. The democrats are already trying to sabotage Mamdani.
BULLFUCKINGSHIT!!!!!!!
Fuck him
The Robert's Supreme Court has been helping The Convicted Felon and Rapist become a Dictator
And when trump becomes full out dictator, the SCOTUS will fail to exist! Through their own doings! 😳
I don’t think so. Roberts is no longer enforcing the constitution. He is now just implementing Proj 25.
Not just offensive. Fucking stupid.
I wish Judge Roberts would take a moment to seriously consider his legacy. It's not going to be pretty. His legacy will be a huge stain in history.
Honor Legacy These are outdated concepts in modern America The prevailing thought of far too many (once again history repeating itself) is get yours while you can, who's gonna hold you to your word, & when you die who cares what's said once you're gone
Absolutely, instant gratification, and screw the rest. It's cringy.
I don’t think he cares.
John Roberts couldn't be a more shameless liar if he tried. It is him that is responsible for all of this shitshow. Just like a true maga, point the finger at a Democrat for their shortcomings in life. Pathetic little man with no honor or integrity. He knows this about himself too.
Fuck Roberts. Total traitor 🤮🤬🖕🏼
It is offensive because it is true. Roberts and the rest of his Dishonest Criminal Traitors passed Citizens United, putting America up for sale to the highest bidder. Both major parties run for office promising actual benefits for citizens, to sell their integrity and vote how they are paid.
Congess has allowed Citizens United to remain law to enrich themselves and remain rich through the legalized Bribery of PAC money since 2010. Now both parties are owned by billionaires, except progressives, who refuse PAC and other corporate Bribes. This is THE decisiom the scrotus is bribed for.
See what we made them do? A rather Alitoish sentiment.
John Robert should hang by his neck as #traitor. I’ll fucking say it.
The Roberts Courts have set back the legal system about 150 years. Maybe more.
Luttig..seems to me this is the smartest man alive in reference to politics.
Roberts dusting off Korematsu v. United States in anticipation of POTUS incarcerating and deporting large numbers of U.S. citizens.
This all is Roberts fault
Democracts were too frightened to rightly go after Trump and others who made heinous decisions for fear of being seen as targeting opponents. However, SCOTUS have made sweeping reaches of settled law that has caused the President to be act like a tyrant and his Regime to shit on your Constitution.
The man is delusional.
I have said often that John Roberts is a right-wing nut.
John Roberts is the butcher of the Constitution and he can go fuck himself.
bsky.app/profile/bria...
Roberts is the legal architect of the fascist coup.
Wait I love Luttig but we made John Roberts totally lose any respect for the law ?
The epitome of gaslighting.
My first question is, how so? Please explain how the Democrats are as responsible as the Republicans? I'm truly trying to understand that logic.🤔
Fuck him!
As responsible?
This is offensive. I hope those people that did not bother to vote will finally wake up and realize the chaos and destruction of America.
Roberts doesn't sound very self-aware in my book.
We are. We passed no laws prohibiting a convicted felon from running for office. Garland was totally ineffective. However SCOTUS bears even more responsibility via their in-house corruption and simply terrible rulings.
Then, John Robert’s is complicit in the overthrow of our constitution
I will read the Declaration of Independence tomorrow! Will you?
It’s not only offensive, it’s a LIE!
Fuck John Robert’s and the whole supreme joke.
There's 2 on that court that I really like. There's 6 that are corrupt AF.
Sounds like the Guillotine Blade of Impeachment may be coming for more that just Trump after the 2026 Mid Terms. Thomas, Roberts, and Alito, at the very least.
If there are any midterms. I am not so sure anymore. Expect a false flag or war entry and Trump declaring war powers. His congressional sycophants have the power to defer elections during war time. Mark my words, the midterms will not occur without GOP interference.
Declaring war powers does not suspend the Constitution which requires that a President be elected every 4 years. In 1944 even troops overseas were allowed to vote. There is no provision for suspending elections in the Constitution, and declaring Martial Law does not affect elections either.
If Trump attempts to suspend midterm elections, expect riots and even possibly armed revolt, hopefully resulting in the removal from office of the Bewigged Pig and his slimy minions.
I should be more specific, yes I know the president can’t defer the elections; however the state legislatures CAN and the GOP held legislatures will bend the knee to his demands and fall in line. If a number of state legislatures collude to defer elections it would effectively delay the midterms.
A central question I’d like to know is WHY? WHY DO YOU HATE YOUR COUNTRY AND COUNTRY MEN & WOMEN SO MUCH? When You were given the keys to humanity’s most PRIVILEGED position & GRACED with blessings beyond measure? WHY?
John Roberts is the literal THROUGH LINE KEY CENTRE CORE ANCHOR CORNERSTONE LYNCHPIN OF USA DEMOCRACY’S DESTRUCTION
So "judge" John Roberts knows everything that's going on. So he knows how corrupt, undemocratic and subversive the Supreme Court is right now. Glad we've established that. So he'll know what's happening later when he gets put up against a wall and executed. 👍
It's expected. He's a partisan Republican and won't own anything they do. And he lies. He's as MAGA as Alito and Thomas, but won't own that either. But Roberts is fine with Trump destroying everything as long as his job is secure and he won't be hurt. That's offensive. And expected too.
💥BAM😡
John Roberts is a tiny dick. He and trump should bond over that fact.
I agree, they have been pathetic so far.
Roberts was bought by the Heritage Foundation years ago. 🤬
But why? Why?
Roberts knows exactly how he and his wife got rich...and it wasn't from democrats...so bullshit
The Dems are a bunch of impotent cuckolds. They are partially responsible, but the GOP gets the majority of the blame.
F u they're doing everything fucking possible short of murdering the criminal fuck stain coward two faced republican. Everything.
When Civil War starts, and it's coming soon, no one will be safe. That includes Republican/Conservative justices. Does he understand that? JS.
John Roberts and his court of monsters are ruling themselves out of a job.
Chief Justice must be on shrooms or something.
Now that the damage is done.. too late buddy you have the blood in your hands same as every MAGA
