Chief Justice John Roberts asserted Wednesday that the US Constitution is as strong as ever as the nation awaits major Supreme Court decisions in 2026.
In his annual end-of-year message, Roberts avoided references to current events and the many legal challenges President Trump has faced implementing his second-term agenda, instead focusing on the enduring strength of the country’s founding documents.
In the new year, Americans should turn to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution for “solace and consolation,” knowing that those “two great charters of freedom and justice remain firm and unshaken,” Roberts wrote, quoting former President Calvin Coolidge.
“True then; true now,” Roberts said of the 100-year-old quote.
