Judge Judgment

John Roberts may be in trouble:

The lawsuit, filed on April 22, targets the Judicial Conference of the United States and its administrative arm, overseen by Chief Justice Roberts, as rogue “executive agencies” that conspire with far-left lawmakers to wage lawfare against Supreme Court justices. The Gateway Pundit reports on the lawsuit, which reads: “For several years, the media and enterprising lawmakers have launched an onslaught to destroy the impartiality and political neutrality of Article III courts and, particularly, the Supreme Court. Justices Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh have all faced political and physical threats because of the politicization and weaponization of the law. This lawfare has been led by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Representative Hank Johnson, relying upon an ideologically favorable legacy media to falsely accuse Justices Thomas and Alito of ethical improprieties. Their aim was simple: to chill the judicial independence of these Supreme Court Justices.” The Judicial Conference and the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts—long presumed exempt from the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)—have functioned more like executive agencies rather than neutral arms of the judiciary, according to the complaint. In its argument, AFL asserts that these entities must comply with FOIA because they exercise “executive powers,” including responding to congressional oversight and issuing binding regulations—all under the direction of Roberts himself.

How convenient...
