We need to flood Chief John Roberts' office with calls.... [View all]

I'm watching a clip of Chuck Schumer on Rachel and he has asked for Roberts' intervention since dt's now directing Barr to interfere with the Roger Stone sentencing. Schumer said that in the past Justice Roberts has spoken out in defense of the independence of the Judicial Branch.

If I can, I'll try to get through to The Stephanie Miller Show in the morning with a number for people to call....

Do any of you have what you think the best number to call would be?

The kind of judge whose role isn't that of a judge? onenote Feb 2020 #12

wrong - he's still allegedly a judge - the top in the land Blues Heron Feb 2020 #13

Wrong.His role is that of the presiding officer. Not a judge. onenote Feb 2020 #14

Yes I know - we all heard that spiel a million times during the "trial" Blues Heron Feb 2020 #15

Please point to Article and Section of the Constitution which supports this. Hermit-The-Prog Feb 2020 #21

It says the chief Justice will preside Blues Heron Feb 2020 #24

Article I, Section 3 Hermit-The-Prog Feb 2020 #27

No, it is very specific. The Senate shall have the sole power [...] Hermit-The-Prog Feb 2020 #30

You got one thing right: as the presiding officer at the impeachment onenote Feb 2020 #23

so you think it was ceremonial - where does the constitution say that? Blues Heron Feb 2020 #25

So you think Mike Pence should exercise the powers of a judge onenote Feb 2020 #32

I expect hime to preside fairly over the trial- that means speaking up if the pukes Blues Heron Feb 2020 #36
