NY TIMES INVESTIGATES ADOPTION RECORDS OF SUPREME COURT NOMINEE’S CHILDREN
**Exclusive**
The DRUDGE REPORT has uncovered a plot in the NEW YORK TIMES’ newsroom to look into the adoption of the children of Supreme Court Nominee John G. Roberts.
The TIMES has investigative reporter Glen Justice hot on the case to investigate adoption records of Judge Roberts’ two young children, Josie age 5 and Jack age 4, a top source reveals.
Judge Roberts and his wife Jane adopted the children when they each were infants.
Both children were adopted from Latin America.
A TIMES insider claims the look into the adoptions are part of the paper’s “standard background check.”
Roberts’ young son Jack delighted millions of Americans during his father’s Supreme Court nomination announcement ceremony when he wouldn’t stop dancing while the President and his father spoke to a national television audience.
Previously the WASHINGTON POST Style section had published a story criticizing the outfits Josie’s and Jack’s mother had them wear at the announcement ceremony.
One top Washington official with knowledge of the NEW YORK TIMES’ plans declared: “Trying to pry into the lives of the Roberts’ family like this is despicable. Children’s lives should be off limits. The TIMES is putting politics over fundamental decency.”
One top Republican official when told of the situation was incredulous. “This can’t possibly be true?”

Once TRUMP appoints another Justice, he should make a deal with Democrats to help him get rid of Roberts & we'll give them Merrick Garland

Teach Roberts & the other Justices a lesson

[Bobalu]

Trump always gets revenge...

I wonder what this will cause him to do?

[Yo-Yo]

“For the first time ever, the court invalidates an agency action solely because it questions the sincerity of the agency’s otherwise adequate rationale,”

It may be the first time for the Supreme Court, but it's not the first time ever for a federal court to do so.

Questioning the motive behind the completely lawful executive order restricting travel from designated countries was precisely the reason given by federal judges in staying that travel ban order.

The Supreme Court ended up upholding the travel ban in those cases, so why would Roberts question motivation behind a lawful act in this case?

I agree with Justice Alito, the only test is is the action lawful or is it not lawful. The motivation behind the action doesn't matter.

[bigbob]

Your pal Dougherty is full of shit.

[Rockingham]

I have no doubt that the judges on almost all courts have two primary topics of casual conversation: gossip about judges and lawyers; and gossip and comments about politics. At least that is what the judges whom I have known have told me.

[Pikachu_Dad]

Clearly so !

[bigbob]

I’ll tell you:

He will instruct Commerce to add the requested reasoning/explanation into the Census form and continue on. The plantiffs will of course have to sue to prevent this and they will do so where a district court judge will enjoin the question from being added.

Normall the Trump Administration would have to go to the court of appeals, but given the urgency of the Census they will seek a writ of certiorari before judgment (immediate SCOTUS review}.

This was NOT a defeat, it was a “Do-Over”. That’s exactly what Trump will do, and then the Scotus will have to decide once and for all.

[magna carta]

I believe he is a two-faced sodomist which explains his neither here nor there rulings

[rockrr]

Well, I wasn’t one of those who said you were nuts about Roberts, but...

It was actually the gerrymander case that showed very clearly there are “GOP” and “DEM” justices. The vote went 5-4 exactly by party. The GOP justices in classic Republican form chose to leave the political question to the marketplace of ideas in the states. The DEM justices wanted to impose a central/federal standard for drawing Congressional districts.

Involving either a dead or underage boy. Roberts disgusts me.

[kabar]

Yes, all persons are included including green card holders and illegals.

[ontap]

Roberts is what rinos call conservative....I feel dirty having voted for both Bushes!!!

[Colo9250]

That would be great! I believe that the Times dug up the truth on Roberts adoption and are sitting on the results which are being used to blackmail him.

[maxwellsmart_agent]

The citizenship question just proved that the Supreme Court is politicized. If it were not, they would have reached a decision on it.

[Lurking Libertarian]

Well, so what? That’s not the question before the court. In fact, the purpose of federal courts and especially the Supreme Court is to determine whether an administrative act by the government is both legal and constitutional. And Ross’ decision clearly was, as the dissenters wrote in their separate opinion.

Wrong.

We have something called the Administrative Procedure Act, which is an important check on the power of unelected bureaucrats. If an official or agency can permissibly make one of two decisions, they have to show their work-- they have to demonstrate that they considered the possible alternatives and gave a reasoned explanation for their decision.

Here, the evidence showed that the decision the Secretary of Commerce gave was a pretext-- he came into office determined to add the citizenship question and then asked the Department of Justice to tell him they needed the citizenship information to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

[Lurking Libertarian]

Are illegals included in the count for Congressional representatives?

Yes-- the 14th Amendment says that apportionment of representatives among states is based on "counting the whole number of persons in each State."

Extortion and black mail, open the books lets see who is doing this

Teach Roberts & the other Justices a lesson

Nonsense; the Democrats wouldn’t go for it. Why would they “teach Roberts and other justices a lesson?"
