John Roberts may be reminded for whom he works

Brandon's famous shouted, "I don't work for you", to a group of tax-paying, voting citizens has been  emblematic of all the revelations of Elon and his Whiz Kids, but now comes something different.

Now the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is being hit with a lawsuit proclaiming the Judicial Conference and the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, both overseen personally by Roberts, have functioned more like executive agencies rather than neutral arms of the judiciary

In and of itself, not much, maybe, but OTOH this is the stuff of shots across the bow. Roberts has long been accused of being more concerned with getting good notices from the WaPo and the Gray Lady than with what's best for the American people. 

It has also been speculated he had a connection with Jeffery Epstein.

It could be a Long Hot Summer after all.

On Full Drawers & An Open Cabinet

 

And this, disclosed by Rubio, in yesterday's cabinet meeting:  

"One of the most shocking revelations probably came from the last speaker of the day, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who revealed that Biden was keeping files on United States citizens, monitoring their social media profiles, and attempting to identify 'purveyors of disinformation'. 

Not only was the Biden administration keeping files on U.S. citizens, but one of those people was sitting there at the table, a member of the actual cabinet. 'And by the way, I'm not gonna say who it is — I'll leave it up to them — there's at least one person at this table today who had a dossier in that building of social media posts, to identify them as purveyors of disinformation. We have these dossiers. We are going to be turning those over to these individuals...and they'll decide whether they want to disclose it or not.   

But just think about, the Department of State of the United States had set up an office to monitor the social media posts and commentary of American citizens to identify them as vectors of disinformation when we know that the best way to combat disinformation is freedom of speech and transparency'."
