Speaker of the House Mike Johnson recently made comments suggesting that the Supreme Court should intervene in the current political landscape. Johnson stated that he believes the justices on the court are deeply concerned about maintaining the system of justice and the principle of equal justice under law.
While Johnson's remarks initially sparked speculation about private conversations with Supreme Court justices, he later clarified that he has not had direct discussions with them. Instead, he emphasized that his understanding of the justices' character and past statements led him to believe in their commitment to upholding justice and avoiding the use of courtrooms for political purposes.
