The snarky asshole in me finds this quote from Justice Roberts pretty funny…
Not a single person has voted for me and if we don’t like what the people in Congress do we can get rid of them, you know, if you don’t like what I do, it’s kind of too bad.
Of course he goes on to explain, quite succinctly, exactly what the Supreme Court’s role should be:
The only reason, the reason I’m protected from those political pressures is because I’m supposed to make a decision based on the law, and so I don’t think it would be a good idea to turn all the hard issues over to the courts. Those hard issues belong in Congress, they belong in the executive branch. Courts have the responsibility to make sure that those branches abide by the legal limits of the Constitution.
I love when those silly libs whine about Roberts… maybe they’ll do less of it now that they have something to be in charge of.
