"Chief Justice John Roberts is sending a message not only to Mr. Trump but also to the waiting world. Something along the lines of, 'People, this is what we’re dealing with.' The point being not that some fertilizers are now exempt from reciprocal tariffs but that a reckless president is sowing chaos in America and around the globe":

What a joke

#JohnRoberts' annual report

The chief justice touted #JudicialIndependence & urged Americans to keep faith in the #Constitution in year-end statement

Focusing on the #DeclarationOfIndependence as the nation turns to its 250th anniversary, Roberts said the #founders chafed at the crown’s control of colonial courts & “corrected this flaw” by setting up a #judiciary that would operate without interference from the other branches.

His son Sebastien Lai said the family had expected a guilty verdict, “but that doesn’t make it any less devastating.”

“In the 800-page verdict they have there is essentially nothing, nothing that incriminates him,” he told reporters in London. “This is a perfect example of how the national security law has been molded & weaponized against someone who essentially said stuff that they didn’t like.”

#law #JimmyLai #China #HongKong #democracy #authoritarianism #FreePress #JudicialIndependence

#JimmyLai has spent 5 years in custody, much of it in solitary confinement, & his family said his health has declined rapidly.

Lai’s trial, conducted in a #HongKong court without a jury, has been closely monitored by the US, Britain, the EU & political observers as a barometer of #media freedom & #JudicialIndependence in the former British colony, which returned to Chinese rule in 1997.

Three government-vetted judges found Lai, 78, guilty of conspiring with others to collude with foreign forces to endanger national security & conspiracy to publish seditious articles. He pleaded not guilty to all charges.

#JimmyLai was arrested in August 2020 under a Beijing-imposed national security #law that was implemented following massive anti-government protests in 2019.

Former Hong Kong pro-democracy media mogul Jimmy Lai convicted in landmark “national security” trial
