The Chief’s federal judiciary’s year-end report may as well have been generated by ChatGPT.
For Chief Justice Roberts, the Year-End Report on the Federal Judiciary is no longer a serious assessment of the state of the federal courts as much as it’s a taxpayer-funded blog post for him to express his disdain for the American people.
You might suspect that the design of an annual report of the federal judiciary would involve providing the American people with some sense that the Chief Justice of the United States grasps the issues facing the courts and, ideally, has some sort of plan for addressing them. After all, that’s the whole point of any annual report: to provide stakeholders with a sense of the successes and challenges facing an entity. It’s why a corporate 10-K can’t just decline to mention that the CEO is now wanted by Interpol.
While the federal judiciary in 2023 found itself beset by ethical scandals from top to bottom, jurists abandoning any sense of professionalism and decorum, a forum shopping crisis spawned by the lack of reform to the nationwide injunction procedure, and a criminal defendant openly attacking the judicial process and inspiring violent threats against federal judges, John Roberts addressed… none of these.
The poor is going to get to wait in line at urgent care for 6 hours waiting to get it attended to and get sent home with asprin. You really think our medical system is equal among classes?
I think losing a finger hurts the same amount no matter how long you wait for it to get attended to afterward.
Also, that’s not how ERs work. There’s triage. Even if an uninsured person comes to an ER with an emergency like that, they will be seen quickly. I know, I’ve been in the ER three times in the past year for a lesser issue, I have insurance, and a prisoner from the federal prison got treated before I did because he had been stabbed. That’s how ERs work. They don’t base them on your bank balance.
A ranked class medical system has nothing to do with the literal ability to feel pain. You’re acting like doctors somehow have different nervous systems from the rest of humanity.
Also, based on your rationale, are doctors who work at free clinics able to feel physical pain?
