The court that essentially determines huge swathes of law through constitutional interpretations, and whom have used that power in very partisan ways, thinks they’re apolitical?
The only part of the political process they’re not a part of is being electable, and therefore held accountable, by the public.
Per the article, Roberts said,
“I think they view us as truly political actors, which I don’t think is an accurate understanding of what we do,” he told a conference of lawyers and judges in Pennsylvania. “We’re not simply part of the political process.”
Shouldn’t he have said We’re simply not part of the political process.?
Shouldn’t he have said We’re simply not part of the political process.?
Nah, that would lose him the wriggle room his weasel words gave him.
The way he said it is technically true as long as they’re ANYTHING except a part of the political process.
Which they aren’t, but that’s MUCH harder to affirmatively prove than “political at all”.

So yeah. Technically they are not political. They just look away at the right time.
We need a constitutional amendment to overturn Marbury v Madison. The SCOTUS gave themselves this power, and it’s about time we take it away.
