Chief Justice John Roberts

Extract from Speeches

‘I Wish You Bad Luck.’

Read Supreme Court Justice John Roberts’ Unconventional Speech to His Son’s Graduating Class.

·                
Now the commencement speakers will typically also wish you good luck and extend good wishes to you            

I
will not do that, and I’ll tell you why.

·                
From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly, so that you will come to know the value of justice.

               

           I hope that you will suffer betrayal because that will teach you the importance of loyalty.

             

           Sorry to say, but I hope you will be lonely from time to time so that you don’t take friends for granted.

·                
I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and
understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of
others is not completely deserved either.

 

·                
And when you lose, as you will from time to time, I hope every now and then, your opponent will gloat over your failure.            

            It is a way for you to understand the importance of sportsmanship.               

           I hope you’ll be ignored so you know the importance of listening to others, and I hope you will have just enough
pain to learn compassion.

 

·                
Whether I wish these things or not, they’re going to happen.

 

·                
And whether you benefit from them or not will depend upon your ability to see the
message in your misfortunes.

 

·                
Enough advice.

 

·                
I would like to end by reading some important lyrics.

 

·                
I
cited the Greek philosopher Socrates earlier.

 

·                
These lyrics are from the great American philosopher, Bob Dylan.

 

·                
They’re almost 50 years old.

 

·                
He wrote them for his son, Jesse, who he was missing while he was on tour.

 

·                
It lists the hopes that a parent might have for a son and for a daughter.

 

·                
They’re also good goals for a son and a daughter.

 

·                
The wishes are beautiful, they’re timeless. They’re universal.

 

·                
They’re good and true, except for one: It is the wish that gives the song its title and its refrain.

 

·                
That wish is a parent’s lament. It’s not a good wish. So these are the lyrics from
Forever Young by Bob Dylan:

May Allah bless you and keep you always

May your wishes all come true

May you always do for others

And let others do for you

May you build a ladder to the stars

And climb on every rung

And may you stay forever young

May you grow up to be righteous

May you grow up to be true

May you always know the truth

And see the lights surrounding you

May you always be courageous

Stand upright and be strong

And may you stay forever young

May your hands always be busy

May your feet always be swift

May you have a strong foundation

When the winds of changes shift

May your heart always be joyful

May your song always be sung

And may you stay forever young

Thank
you.

Question

Mr Roberts! …something I read about the Politics Vs Principles deliberation… to the court. I just wondered a lot of subjects comes in and I know there is lot of question comes in how the court operates. Could you comment perspective what part politics plays in decision making process vs doing what is right and what is wrong?

Answer

John Roberts: Politics covers many??? Certainly???? Partisan politics .Democrats and Republicans, I think it plays no role in the process whatsoever.

The Framers of the constitution …….. and protection in their salaries and ….ensures that they would not be swayed by those things and by large they are not. The instances where justices turn out not to flag the political values … appointed … legends across history because the president appointing him most liberal justices???? Politics s essence …. Justices do come to the court with:

·                 judicial philosophy,

·                 different views   

·                 theories of the constitution

and those certainly stay with them, are effective and times changed. But that is not politics in the partisan sense.
