John Roberts Stop Complaining Challenge

from Baby Boom! Lawyered Hosted by Rewire News Group's Jessica Mason Pieklo and Imani Gandy, Jessica Mason Pieklo, Imani Gandy

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.” Rewire News Group is a nonprofit media organization, which means that episodes like this one are only made possible with the support of listeners like you!
