Warren’s pathetic treatment of Chief Justice John Roberts

Her private internal polling on her presidential campaign must put her numbers so rock-bottom that she figures the only thing she has left is to throw chicken$#!+ spitwads like this simply to try and garner more attention.

Elizabeth Warren’s challenge to Chief Justice John Roberts on Thursday had about as much value to the impeachment proceedings as Warren’s DNA has Native American ancestry.

Which is to say, not a lot.

Warren’s question to Chief Justice Roberts was truly ridiculous. “At a time when large majorities of Americans have lost faith in government,” Warren asked, “does the fact that the chief justice is presiding over an impeachment trial in which Republican senators have thus far refused to allow witnesses or evidence contribute to the loss of legitimacy of the chief justice, the Supreme Court, and the Constitution?”

It was Warren at her truest self: utterly populist, faux-intellectual, and totally obsessed with partisan pageantry.

The question, supposedly seeking a serious response from the House impeachment managers, got the treatment it deserved. Roberts’s calm response showed him for the far superior public servant he is. To his credit, Adam Schiff rebuked his fellow Democrat by answering her question with a defense of Roberts’s honest presiding.

Of course, Schiff has to take the opportunity to spout more of his BS.
