The only person who called her out was Trump for that behavior.

The person who should have was Paul Ryan who as Speaker could have set in motion impeachment proceedings, which is the remedy for straying from the apparent one-sided 'Judicial Code of Conduct'.

Isn't it always the case when a lib decides to disregard the laws or protocol it is largely ignored, but when a conservative does it similarly one hears 'It is not right for one judge to act that way just because another does'.

Nope.  Others did, too.   But even if nary a soul did, that would not justify Roberts conducting himself in an unprofessione manner.

Unfortunately, Roberts is once again wrong.  We no longer have an unbiased, independent judiciary.  Roberts should know that.  He is among them.

We have an independent judiciary just like we have an independent press!

We do? Geez. Maybe I misunderstand what the word independent means.

@Frank Cannon just because I failed to put a <sarc> tag in doesn't mean it's not there.

Trump also called out Roberts.

Name someone who called out both other than Trump.

I shall!  And I hope you will as well!  I'm currently looking at a glass with about three fingers worth of Caribbean Cask in it.  Wish you were here.

Trump should ask Roberts if he feels overworked and would like something
less stressful. Some sort of voluntary occupation.

Maybe Trump should STFU and stop trying to bully the judiciary.  I seem to recall outrage from certain quarters when Obama tried to bully the judiciary, particularly the Supreme Court over the Citizens United case.  But hey, now that it’s “our guy” doing it, it’s perfectly alright.

Maybe these unelected jerks in black robes should confine themselves to their Constitutional roles and see what happens!

Seems Roberts is the one who mysteriously did STFU when he said nothing about Obama's words.

BTW, why do you sanction a judge getting involved in the political theater when they are supposed to do nothing but interpret law?

Hilarious. Roberts makes Trump's point by his selective criticism.

If Roberts had said "we shouldn't have Obama Judges or Trump judges he might have had a point.  But that isn't what he said.
