According to Chief Justice Roberts

Agree or disagree with the courts decision with regard to free speech and election contributions, like President Obama or do not like him....surely everyone can see why the chief is concerned.

Two branches (executive and legislative) of govt, publicly rebuke (I lean toward attempting to intimidate) the members of the Supreme Court in a setting where the justices are expected to be non responsive, emotionless, and stoic.

It did not seem right to me.

I would not blame Roberts if he refused to send ANY justices to the next state of the union address.

I can only imagine the howls if President Bush had said "you got it wrong" to the court members when he was addressing congress during a state of the union address. Especially in relation to some of the rulings that he did not like or agree with.
