I hope John Roberts can't watch the NFL playoff games today because he has explosive diarrhea.

@msbellows
I hope he fucking chokes on it and dies, tbh.@qurlyjoe I work hard to not wish that, because I don't want a Chief Justice Eileen Cannon for the rest of my life.

I hope John Roberts throws up a little in his mouth today.
(Digression: obscene decisions like this are why, in this thread, I'm making it a practice to curse U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts every single day: https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-transgender-students-california-cca311ae39d267f31c1392a0bcf780cd
I've been a lawyer for nearly four decades. I've been PROUD to be a lawyer! On the day I graduated from law school I was privileged to shake hands with our commencement speaker, the outstanding liberal justice William F. Brennan. Lawyers and jurists like Brennan have been responsible for much of the social progress America slowly made through most of the 20th century, and I foolishly thought that that progress would mostly continue.
John Roberts represents the betrayal of that proud tradition. More broadly, John Roberts represents everything that is wrong with privilege and whiteness and toxic maleness and greed. So yes, I curse John Roberts, in small ways and large, every single fucking day. Because he has betrayed a noble calling, and the instant there's someone in the Oval Office who won't make Eileen Cannon chief justice, my final curse will be a general, passive wish for John Roberts to die painfully and slowly (but not too slowly).
But until then I curse him creatively, trying to bring a little humor to my rage.)

@msbellows ***non lawyer makes notes on what is acceptable to wish upon those you despise, but which will avoid a libel lawsuit or visit from someone with a badge and gun 🤪

@msbellows
Fair point. I tend to be swayed by the shortness of my expected future I guess, and really should have more regard for those that will have to endure the consequences of my short term wishes. My bad. -

@ai6yr My last post probably went too far, then.

I hope John Roberts has an annoying blob of earwax in one ear and goes to the hall closet for a q-tip but the Costco-sized box they've had literally for years is completely empty and that ear is really bugging him so instead he halfway unbends a small paperclip and uses the smaller loop to dig out the dried wax and he tries to be careful but the paperclip was dirty or he scratches something and anyway he develops a really nasty ear infection that makes him dizzy and gives him headaches and tinnitus.

@msbellows I hope someone breaks into his house and paints all the lightbulbs black, so when he switches the light on it gets darker and he bumps his shin, causing an unpleasant bruise

I hope today John Roberts tries to pick up a neighbor's cute, nice-seeming cat for a cuddle and it freaks out and scratches him badly right on the cheek.

I hope John Roberts' shoelace breaks, and not at home where he could just change shoes. And that those shoes have fairly short laces anyway, and that it breaks right at the eyelet where the knot will get in the way.

@msbellows This one's specific enough to travel down the blood line, ... like the one on the house of Atreus that led to Agamemnon's demise
