A quote from Joe Sudbay

Joe Sudbay

“We are often led to believe that judges are imbued with mystical powers of fairness and justice. They're political appointees. Make no mistake, Roberts is on the Court to push an ideological agenda. Obama had every right to criticize the Citizens United decision. He would have been wrong not to.”


A quote from Jed Lewison

“Roberts is entitled to his political opinions, but as long as he's inserting himself into the public discourse, he should keep in mind that the people of the United States of America aren't that thrilled with his jurisprudence: "In Supreme Court Ruling on Campaign Finance, the Public Dissents."”


A quote from Stephen Green

“The last time I can think of a President dismissing the SCOTUS was Jackson. The result of Jackson ignoring the Marshall Court’s decision was the Trail of Tears — some of the most brutal and shameful actions in US history. I wonder what will come if Obama continues to dismiss the Roberts Court.”


A quote from Andrew Cohen

Andrew Cohen

“First, re-visiting the SoTU long after people had stopped talking about it makes Roberts look even more political than most people already think. Second, the prissy remarks reinforce the growing perception that the Justices are even more detached from public discourse than they are supposed to be.”

“As for Obama’s Court-bashing, don’t expect that to stop with the SOTU: Public opinion is overwhelmingly on his side regarding the Citizens United decision. Which brings the total number of issues these days on which the public is overwhelmingly on his side to, I guess, one. ”


A quote from Sister Toldjah

“It should be noted that Roberts didn’t actually condemn criticism coming from a President, but how it looked doing so in a setting that is normally supposed to be free from such cheap shots at the judiciary – cheap shots that can’t immediately be responded to in kind by the Justices.”


A quote from Scared Monkeys

“Look for there to be 5 empty seats at Obama’s next State of the Union in 2011, the missing SCOTUS formation as a mutual sign of respect for this President. Respect is a two way street Mr. President.”


A quote from Scott Johnson

“The attack on the Court's decision was rank demagogy, calculated to prompt the wild approval of congressional Democrats. On cue congressional Democrats salivated like Pavlov's dogs.”


A quote from Don Surber

“President Obama’s behavior was so childish, boorish and rude at his State of the Union address this year that Chief Justice Roberts is openly questioning whether he and other justices will bother attending the annual event next year. Elections may have their consequences, but so does stupidity.”


A quote from Glenn Reynolds

Glenn Reynolds

“Wonder how many will show up to the SOTU speech next year. My prediction: 3. What I would like to see is none show up in solidarity against such a brazen partisan attack. And all this hoopla because the SCOTUS defended free speech rights.”
