A justice tasked to decide a criminal's fate having a friendly chit-chat with said criminal would have been instantly invalidating for the justice and the criminal.
Yet here we are today, it's just meh news.
That high-pitched whirring sound you're hearing is the Founding Fathers spinning in their graves at 15,000 RPM.
Founding Fathers spinning in their graves
A seemingly endless supply of renewable energy.
This county is a goddamn joke
You mean a country founded on the principle that all men are created equal yet had to have a civil war to free slaves a hundred years later?
No. It became a joke the first time we elected an actor to be President.

Why in the world is he allowed to talk to the judges?
why in the world hasn't he been executed for treason?
probably the same reason.
The answer to that question is "he missed".
Because fuck you, who's going to stop him?
Or the judges. They've have already proven that they consider themselves above the law.
Dredd: "I am the law!"
Who indeed? Who among the chronically comic book, lone wolf, hero culture obsessed United States could be inspired to action against a singular existential threat? In the interest of nonviolence I hope we never find out. It would surely be a tragedy if someone among the downtrodden stepped up and made their voice heard on a global scale by doing something desperate.
One guy did that but was relentlessly mocked for being ugly and having a less than ideal shooting platform and aim.

Why in the world is he allowed to talk ~~to the judges~~?
Oh ok, never mind then!
I remember learning about avoiding the appearance of impropriety in school. Maybe Justice Alito was absent that day.
The fact that he spoke with Trump at all while Trump has personal cases pending which are likely to reach SCOTUS is improper all by itself.
