Trump's hot mic moment with Chief Justice John Roberts sparks conspiracy theories
After getting caught on a hot mic telling Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, "Thank you again, I won't forget it," conspiracy theorists claimed President Donald Trump was voicing his appreciation for the Supreme Court granting him absolute immunity from prosecution for “official acts” during his first term — a ruling written by Roberts.
But Trump tore into the "Fake 'Play the Ref' News" on his Truth Social Wednesday, taunting the media for its coverage of the exchange that took place at his joint session of Congress. “They never called my office to ask, of course, but if they had I would have told these sleazebag ‘journalists’ that I thanked him for SWEARING ME IN ON INAUGURATION DAY, AND DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB IN SO DOING! The Fake News never quits!” he wrote.

Hear what Justice Roberts did behind the scenes before Trump immunity ruling
The Supreme Court’s toughest cases during Chief Justice John Roberts’ tenure have often generated internal suspense, with shifting votes, last-minute switches and the chief’s own push toward compromises that would lessen the appearance of politics. Not so this spring, when the six Republican-appointed conservatives established a far-reaching immunity from prosecution for former President Donald Trump. CNN’s Joan Biskupic reports. #CNN #News

Chief Justice John Roberts on the Supreme Court (C-SPAN)
Chief Justice John Roberts: "We do not speak for the people. We speak for the Constitution. Our role is very clear. We are to interpret the Constitution and laws of the United States and ensure the political branches act within them. That job obviously requires independence from the political branches." He also says, "It's a small thing perhaps but it is a repeated reminder that as our newest colleague put it we do not sit on opposite sides of an aisle, we do not caucus in separate rooms, we do not serve one party or one interest. We serve one nation. And I want to assure all of you we will continue to do that to the best of our abilities whether times are calm or contentious."

3. Cutaway
4. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W. Bush, US President:
"My decision to nominate Judge John Roberts to the Supreme Court came after a thorough and deliberative process. My staff and I consulted with seventy members of the United States Senate. I received good advice from both Republicans and Democrats. I appreciate the care they took. I am grateful for their advice. I reviewed the credentials of many well qualified men and women. I met personally with a number of potential nominees. In my meetings with John Roberts I got deeply impressed. He is a man of extraordinary accomplishment and ability. He has a good heart. He has the qualities Americans expect in a judge. Experience, wisdom, fairness and civility."
5. Cutaway
6. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W. Bush, US President:
"Judge Roberts thank you for agreeing to serve and congratulations.
7. SOUNDBITE: (English) Judge John Robert, Nominee for Supreme Court
"It is both an honour and humbling to be nominate to serve on the Supreme Court. Before I became a judge, my law practice consisted largely of arguing cases before the Court. That experience left me with a profound appreciation for the role of the Court in our constitutional democracy and a deep regard for the Court as an institution. I've always got a lump in my throat whenever I walk up those marble steps to argue a case before the Court, and I don't think it was just from the nerves. I am very grateful for the confidence the president has shown in nominating me and I look forward in the next step in the process before the United States Senate."
8. Bush and Roberts shaking hands and leaving the press conference
STORYLINE:
President George W. Bush has chosen federal appeals court judge John G. Roberts as his first nominee for the Supreme Court, a rock-solid conservative who has won broad support from both parties but still could face a contentious battle over the direction of the nation's highest
court.
He announced his choice in a nationally broadcast speech to the nation.
Bush said his decision came after a thorough and deliberative process, "My staff and I consulted with seventy members of the United States Senate. I received good advice from both Republicans and Democrats. I appreciate the care they took. I am grateful for their advice. I reviewed the credentials of many well qualified men and women. I met personally with a number of potential nominees," he added.
Talking of Roberts, Bush said, "he is a man of extraordinary accomplishment and ability. He has a good heart. He has the qualities Americans expect in a judge. Experience, wisdom, fairness and civility."
The selection was something of a surprise.
Many expected that he would replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on the nine-member court with a woman or a member of an ethnic minority.
presidency.
Justices serve until they retire or die.

8. Bush and Roberts shaking hands and leaving the press conference
STORYLINE:
President George W. Bush has chosen federal appeals court judge John G. Roberts as his first nominee for the Supreme Court, a rock-solid conservative who has won broad support from both parties but still could face a contentious battle over the direction of the nation's highest
court.
He announced his choice in a nationally broadcast speech to the nation.
Bush said his decision came after a thorough and deliberative process, "My staff and I consulted with seventy members of the United States Senate. I received good advice from both Republicans and Democrats. I appreciate the care they took. I am grateful for their advice. I reviewed the credentials of many well qualified men and women. I met personally with a number of potential nominees," he added.
Talking of Roberts, Bush said, "he is a man of extraordinary accomplishment and ability. He has a good heart. He has the qualities Americans expect in a judge. Experience, wisdom, fairness and civility."
The selection was something of a surprise.
Many expected that he would replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on the nine-member court with a woman or a member of an ethnic minority.

Justices serve until they retire or die.
