This judge sent a nastygram to Roberts, saying he's hanging up his robe cause he don't like the way the Supremes roll anymore. He's not mincing any words. There are elements of the letter that are beyond my narrow scope of familiarity (ripping off Disturbed), but the general thrust of the missive is perfectly deducible from context.
Judge James Dannenberg writes John Roberts a letter resigning from the Supreme Court Bar.
The whole thing is quotable but this may be the salient point.
Quote:
Your public pronouncements suggest that you seem concerned about the legitimacy of the Court in today’s polarized environment. We all should be. Yet your actions, despite a few bromides about objectivity, say otherwise.
It is clear to me that your Court is willfully hurtling back to the cruel days of Lochner and even Plessy. The only constitutional freedoms ultimately recognized may soon be limited to those useful to wealthy, Republican, White, straight, Christian, and armed males— and the corporations they control. This is wrong. Period. This is not America.

It's pleasing that the blatant right wing activism of the court draws the publicly declared objection of one with the stature and position within the legal structure such as Judge Dannenberg.
