Chief Justice Roberts responded to a question by a student regarding remarks made about a US Supreme Court decision at the 2010 State of the Union address.
This activity fueled remarks by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Unfortunately.
Harry Reid has no call to make such statements about Justice Roberts.
Can any American actually believe that the Senate majority leader made the following comment: "Do you think John Roberts knows or cares how people get elected?"
Reid continued by stating: "I think what we need are people on that bench who have been legislators, people who are lawyers, people who are academics. You look at our Supreme Court and all these people, all they know is working with people in black robes. We have got to change that."
Factually, Justice Roberts is a lawyer. He spent 14 years in privtae law practice and argued 39 cases before the Supreme Court.
It would be nice if Mr. Reid got his facts right before mouthing off to national media. His actions lower even further the status of politicians.
Get to work, Mr. Reid. Do what Main Street USA pays you to do. We do NOT pay you to make inaccurate - and malicious - statements about members of our top court.
Over For Now.
Main Street One
