John Roberts calls Supreme Court leak 'absolutely appalling'
Chief Justice John Roberts said Thursday that the leak of a draft opinion that would strike down Roe v. Wade is "absolutely appalling" and stressed that he hopes "one bad apple" would not change "people's perception" of the nation's highest court and workforce.
In his first public appearance since the leak on Monday, Roberts also said that if "the person" or "people" behind the leak think it will affect the work of the Supreme Court, they are "foolish."
Was Roberts publicly "appalled" when a sexual predator was appointed to the court? No.
Was he publicly "appalled" when one nominee was railroaded out of an appointment to the court out of partisan tactics? No.
Was he publicly "appalled" when a secretive partisan hack was appointed to the court? No.
Was he publicly "appalled" when it turns out that one of his justices is married to an (alleged) traitor?
No.
There's more than one "bad apple" on the court, and the "people's perception" of the court is that while they are paid by society at large, the majority of them absolutely despise that society.
