Chief Justice John Roberts presented his annual report on the state of the federal judiciary on New Year’s Eve, aiming for minimal audience engagement.
His report failed to address significant issues, including ethics violations and a dramatic drop in public confidence in the judiciary, highlighted by a Gallup poll revealing only 35% public support.
Roberts expressed frustration not with corruption but with public criticism of the judiciary, portraying it as an attack on judicial independence.

His approach has led many to view the Supreme Court as part of a political agenda, undermining its perceived impartiality and independence.
