Progressing toward socialism. That is not progress.

Let me guess - they're claiming this proves Roberts "lied" to the Judiciary Committee, and is therefore grounds for his impeachment and removal from the SCOTUS. Right?

Our now-liberal justices where appointed by Republicans should show anyone you can never predict future Supreme Court votes by a nominee's history or statements.

Did Chief Justice Roberts Mislead Senator Wyden?

Wyden had his opportunity to vote yes or no on Roberts' appointment.

It's a tad late now to bring this up.

Unless my memory fails me altogether, didn't Justice Roberts go out of his way to make sure that it was a given that each case would be heard and decided on its merits?

I don't see John Roberts getting in lock-step with much of anybody. Hard cheese Senator.

Of course, earlier today Roberts voted with Justices Scalia and Thomas in a dissent

Looking like Scalia and Thomas --- Looking Good!

"While they didn't discuss the Death With Dignity law directly"...Supreme Court nominee John Roberts declared that, in cases dealing with end-of-life care, he would "start with the supposition that one has the right to be left alone," Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said after the two met for an hour Tuesday. ...

This is why Justices don't say where they will vote on an issue coming before them.

The right to be left alone is different from active killing by lethal injection/Kevorkianism. I see no contradiction in Roberts' comments now and then.

Ron "Where's Bosnia" Wyden lied when he claimed to have a brain in his head.

Senator Wyden is too stupid to be "misled"...

This is the jerk with an IQ less than his shoe size...
This is the jerk that couldn't find Yugoslavia on a globe....even after the interviewer turned the globe of present Europe to Wyden's vision....

Oh, and he's a SENATOR...
A SENATOR from "progressive" Oregon..

Semper Fi

Do they ever "Progress" to the dissenting opinion to see what it actually said?

As I recall Democrats were caught lying about statements Roberts supposedly made in this private meetings.

From what I recall Roberts refused to be nailed down, and he was smart enough to evade them at every turn. Though he, like Alito, did protest inclusion of foreign law.

Democrats can certainly take the words of their Senators...but forgive the rest of the country for giving the benefit of the doubt to Roberts, who has not been shown to be a liar repeatedly on record as have the Dems.
