John Roberts Stop Complaining Challenge
This week, Jess and Imani read Chief Justice John Roberts’ annual “state of the judiciary report” so you don’t have to.
It’s one of the country’s worst New Years’ traditions, and this year was no exception. In the 2024 report, Roberts waxed poetic about the importance of protecting judicial independence, comparing Black Americans’ civil rights struggle to internet criticism of judges.
The one word missing from the report? “Ethics.”
