The Chief’s federal judiciary’s year-end report may as well have been generated by ChatGPT.

For Chief Justice Roberts, the Year-End Report on the Federal Judiciary is no longer a serious assessment of the state of the federal courts as much as it’s a taxpayer-funded blog post for him to express his disdain for the American people.

You might suspect that the design of an annual report of the federal judiciary would involve providing the American people with some sense that the Chief Justice of the United States grasps the issues facing the courts and, ideally, has some sort of plan for addressing them. After all, that’s the whole point of any annual report: to provide stakeholders with a sense of the successes and challenges facing an entity. It’s why a corporate 10-K can’t just decline to mention that the CEO is now wanted by Interpol.

While the federal judiciary in 2023 found itself beset by ethical scandals from top to bottom, jurists abandoning any sense of professionalism and decorum, a forum shopping crisis spawned by the lack of reform to the nationwide injunction procedure, and a criminal defendant openly attacking the judicial process and inspiring violent threats against federal judges, John Roberts addressed… none of these.

    Have you met doctors? Their personality type is the closest to robots we have. They spend years in misery memorizing things, yet when they become doctors they need to learn “bedside manner”

      I’ve been dealing with a serious mystery medical issue for months now and also have a bad nerve disorder and, aside from one case, I have had very good experience with my many doctors, who have all had an excellent bedside manner even when they were unable to help me in the end. The people in the medical industry in the U.S. who are not great at dealing with people are the people who didn’t go to medical school, like at the registration desk. They’re paid shit and are sick of their jobs and have to deal with terrible people all day and I don’t blame them. And doctors and nurses have to deal with terrible people all day too, which is why I am actually pretty impressed by how caring everyone has been.

      While waiting in the bed to get my gallbladder removed at the end of last month, I had to listen to some lady whine and complain to literally every person that came into her pre-op area across from mine, everyone from the intake person to the surgeon, and bitching to her husband the rest of the time. And, of course, regularly pressing the call button. I pressed it twice. Once to go to the bathroom and once because my IV bag was getting empty because someone accidentally made it drip too quickly.

      And wow are there some shitty healthcare jobs. A guy came in to shave my whole stomach with clippers, which took a good 10 minutes because I’m fairly hirsute. Then I listened to him in another waiting area shaving some guy who must have been Robin Williams’ stunt double because the guy was still doing it when I left for surgery and he started like 45 minutes beforehand. Imagine being the guy who has to shave everyone before surgery. And even he was really nice.
