Nation Rocked by Jarring Spectacle of Republican Showing Respect for Constitution



Maybe it's a different John Roberts?" one American wondered

Chief Justice Roberts has nothing to fear. History books must be approved by the Ministry of Truth. Roger B. Taney was a great Justice. Right?

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Millions of Americans were gobsmacked on Tuesday upon hearing that a prominent Republican official had shown respect for the United States Constitution.

512 Across the country, U.S. residents expressed shock and disbelief that a member of the GOP had openly validated the rule of law.

"At first I thought it was a hoax," said one American, echoing the views of many. "Then I was like, maybe it's a different John Roberts? It's a pretty common name."

At the White House, a furious Donald J. Trump said that the Constitution "isn't worth the paper it's printed on," noting, "When I was stealing documents I never even considered taking it."

In his harshest rebuke of the 238-year-old document, he alleged, "The Constitution has treated me very unfairly."

Anyone who imagines that John Roberts will stop Donald Trump... is an abysmal fool.

Yeah, might have something to do with that separation of powers thingy.

It seems the left goes directly in search of a complicit and compliant judge whenever they don't get their way.

But I agree with Roberts, let it go through the appeals process to humiliate these liberal activist judges when their wacky actions are overturned.

Separation of powers?  What separation of powers?   The Presidency, The House, The Senate and the SCotUS all right-wing Republican-based, kow-towing to Trusk (Trump+Musk) and you call that separation of powers?  jrSmiley_10_smiley_image.gif

I'm waiting for the day when he calls Roberts a radical leftist.

Borowitz never fails to crack me up. What's good about this piece is I'm not really sure it's all satire. Some of it rings true like trmp shitting on the constitution
