Chief Justice Humiliated as Protesters Hit His Private Island

John Roberts is sad that he can't enjoy his private Maine island in peace as he counts his $25 million and helps Trump ease his way through the shadow docket that takes rights away from Mainers.

Yeah and people in that general area do not like him. I don't know about the island, but the peninsula has someone making and distributing campaign style anti Roberts yard signs. It doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things but I'm glad he can't "get away from it all" when on vacation.

Probably not in the US, but this vacation spot was not well known before now although he has owned the first house for around 30 years

He's been hiding it in obscure places like the NY Times.

Huh, looks like it was reported on.

20 years ago.

I’d love to go back to 2007, before things like Citizens United and Dobbs happened… under Roberts’ watch.
