Chief Justice John Roberts says barricaded Supreme Court was 'gut-wrenching' to see

Chief Justice John Roberts defended the legitimacy of the Supreme Court on Friday and said that it pained him to see the public prevented from going near the court, which he says will soon change.

"It was gut-wrenching every morning to drive into a Supreme Court with barricades around it," Roberts said at the 10th Circuit Bench and Bar Conference in Colorado Spring, Colorado on Friday.

Roberts described the last year as an unusual and difficult one, pointing to the public not be allowed inside the court, closed in 2020 because of the pandemic and fenced off in May when protests erupted outside the court and outside the homes of some Supreme Court justices after the unprecedented leak of a document hinting the court was set to overturn Roe v. Wade.

The barriers have come down around the Supreme Court and Roberts says the public will be welcomed back when the new session begins in October. .............

You did that, John, when you allowed whomever to get away with leaking the Alito decision.  This barricading the Court Building business started around then.

Now the mobs know you can be pressured by protesting and pounding on the doors, so they're just doing what comes naturally.
