Roberts rebuffs some criticism of Supreme Court decisions as 'venting'

Source: The Hill

06/28/25 12:57 PM ET


Chief Justice John Roberts on Saturday said some public criticism of the Supreme Court’s work is “not terribly helpful,” dismissing it as “venting” that only focuses on the bottom line.

“It would be good if people appreciated it’s not the judge’s fault that a correct interpretation of the law meant that, no, you don’t get to do this,” Roberts told a crowd of judges and lawyers gathered at a judicial conference in North Carolina.

“And it may be an incorrect interpretation,” he continued. “But if that’s their criticism, then, of course, they can explain that, and maybe the court of appeals will take a different view.” The chief justice added, “But if it’s just venting because you lost, then that’s not terribly helpful.”

Roberts was not speaking to any specific decision, but his conversation with Albert Diaz, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit’s chief judge, came one day after the Supreme Court handed down its final opinions of the term.

we should double and triple up on our 'venting' because him talking about it and saying that, means it is getting to him. The miserable excuse for a human being.

You should be talking to your fascist colleagues about your internal problems, not blaming others' reaction to it.

I'm not venting. I hate him, what he promotes, and the destruction he's allowed with every decision made not from justice, but from ideology and narrow-minded bigotry.

Along with traitor felon, this fake needs to be sent to a hell hole in some foreign country for life.

A 'correct interpretation of the law'??

Says who, Mr. Roberts? You and your court of bought appointees?
