Hear what Justice Roberts did behind the scenes before Trump immunity ruling

The Supreme Court’s toughest cases during Chief Justice John Roberts’ tenure have often generated internal suspense, with shifting votes, last-minute switches and the chief’s own push toward compromises that would lessen the appearance of politics. Not so this spring, when the six Republican-appointed conservatives established a far-reaching immunity from prosecution for former President Donald Trump. CNN’s Joan Biskupic reports. #CNN #News

Impartiality my ass. It's time to stop this bullshit.

[disscustinglybeautiful]

No human should be above the law!!! Those Justices need to be removed!!

[pulido]

So sad that they are playing politics with Justice. There should be term limits for the Supreme Court.

[manspike]

44 Presidents before Trump didn’t need absolute immunity.

[glen]

The supreme court has given up any pretense of being an unbiased interpreter of the law.

[RonnAmuk]

"It was a hard vote the day after oral arguments". So why did it take another 2 months to publish the decision? Delay, delay delay. Clearly biased!

[olliemorgan]

I hope Roberts now realizes that he is on the wrong side of history. When the immunity decision is overturned, he will be repudiated!

[bongkey]

Roberts is just as much a partisan hack as Alito and Thomas

[steveg]

Reform is the only way. Corruption is the alternative

[Rawkin_Dawg]

The Supreme Court is such a joke. Remember when the GOP would criticize legislating from the bench? Hypocrites.

[jayc]

Bull, Roberts is complicit. Time to reform that nest of snakes.

[moogs]

“Justice” Barrett signing off on Robert’s positions but then descending afterwards on some oh his points shows how much of a coward she is.

[anaashb]

We don't need compromise. We need term limits for congress and the SCOTUS.

[ktriddle]

Roberts' legacy will be forever sealed as head of the most corrupt court in history. Hope he's happy.

[JohnnyBoy-twmh]

Your judicial system is so dysfunctional!

[jsmcguireIII]

Roberts has succeeded in delegitimizing our Supreme Court.

[mydrouno]

I don't care, left or right, no one should be above the rest of us or the law.

[shawngroth]

So if they decided right away... why did they wait so long to release their ruling? We know it was politics - delay for Trump.

[saint]

No one is above the law...
except Trump.
There is a Double Standard of justice in America.

Robert’s is a shameless liar. In many ways he’s worse than Thomas and Alito, at least they give it the middle finger and go ‘come on then, try and stop me!’ Roberts is like that in private, but in public it’s like ‘let’s see if we can’t accommodate both sides’.
