Chief Justice John Roberts lost his 90-year old mother on Saturday. While grieving, he still took his time to write the Chief Justice annual report.
Roberts laments over the importance of not allowing misinformation and lies to spread virally and the importance of understanding the process of how the government works in the day of social media.
“In our age, when social media can instantly spread rumor and false information on a grand scale, the public’s need to understand our government, and the protections it provides, is ever more vital,” Chief Justice Roberts said.
He continued on to encourage his fellow lawmakers with this statement:
“We should reflect on our duty to judge without fear or favor, deciding each matter with humility, integrity, and dispatch,” he wrote. “As the New Year begins, and we turn to the tasks before us, we should each resolve to do our best to maintain the public’s trust that we are faithfully discharging our solemn obligation to equal justice under law.”
Justice Roberts will be the main individual overseeing the Trump Impeachment trial in the Senate.
Gratefully,

Quote: “We should reflect on our duty to judge without fear or favor…” As the Clinton and Obama judges/Justices are replaced, that is becoming more the norm. Tired of reading about some previously unknown District Court judge deciding to issue a nationwide injunction to prevent the administration from doing what it clearly has the authority to do simply because the judge believes in Obama and not the constitution.
Watching how Chief Justice Roberts makes his decisions since Trump has been in office bothers me. He votes like a liberal so I feel he is going to vote against President Trump. President Trump has done an excellent job as President for the time he’s been in office. This nation needs to have President Trump to serve another term.
Hopefully Justice Roberts will remember the Constitution regarding the trumped up by Dem-Rats impeachment of our President Trump better than he did regarding ObamaCare that destroyed so many folks’ capacity for medical care including Your’s Truly! We Republicans need to be mindful of what we are dealing with today with 2 traitor RINO Senators from ME and AK in the Senate now!
