Only an idiot would that Roberts was a flake. His opinions are well read.
“He switched sides to vote with the libs on the AZ Immigration Law”
There was an explanation given as to why he did that - wish I had saved the post.
If I’m understanding (the best I can remember), it was due to the court actually being divided 4 to 4, and if Roberts hadn’t switched sides, Arizona would have lost completely for some reason.
Even for a news anchor on a minor, insignificant cable network, Matthews is an outrageous buffoon. If MSNBC would dump him, they might pick up a few viewers, prisons, mental institutions, old folks homes, nothing that would justify big advertizing bucks, but better than broadcasting into empty space.
It’s truly remarkable how utterly stupid these people are yet they, in a moment of supreme irony, would have us believe that they are the smartest people who ever lived.
Hmm, I guess because Sotomayor recused herself, it could have been 4 to 4 with no majority. Then, the prior court ruling striking the whole thing down would stand?
He was vilified mainly for the Dred Scott decision and for some of the reasoning in his decision, but the fact that he was a Catholic in a period of intense anti-Catholicism was probably an element in the hostility he faced. I think he was no longer a slaveholder at the time of the Dred Scott decision. He served through most of Lincoln's Presidency.
“Then, the prior court ruling striking the whole thing down would stand?”
Yes, I believe that was the reasoning.
I suppose the irony is Prissy wants Roberts to uphold the American People Slave Act.
The Supreme Court has always been for taking away Peoples Rights, Hell in Dred Scott they declared him to be a Non-Person and Lets not forget the Legalization of Child Murder in Roe v. Wade.
The Supreme Court has never truly worked correctly, even since the days of the Founding. The people they are suppose to oversee Ignore them, Andrew Jackson told them to Piss off during the trail of tears. But they have supreme power over the citizenry (see the Dred Scott case above).
Because he sided with the liberals on much of the just decided Arizona case.

“Dear Lord, PLEASE help us save the best medical care system in the world...”
Amen!
Obamacare is the big ticket TO slavery, for us and our descendents. Why in the name of God would any justice want to be the deciding vote TO enslave the population of America to a socialist catastrophe that will certainly impoverish us all and return America to slave state status?
No way!
Thomas has too much genuine integrity not to say and Rush has too much genuine integrity that would prevent him from asking.
It always sickened me to know that I agree with Charles Manson about the Supreme Court. Nine people telling 300,000,000 people what to do.
Without original intent, there are NO real limitations on what the federal government can do.
The problem for us it that R’s have also supported unconstitutional, big-government legislation for decades. And we continue to nominate candidates who do not believe in limited constitutional government nor their oath of office.
He was quite coy about the source and in his comments. But it was along the lines of don’t be shocked about what you see from Roberts.
That doesn’t sound good.
I agree, I think the left will con you with this do things our way and you’ll be a hero, don’t do things our way and you’ll be Roger Taney, etc. Roberts and Kennedy can be bought off in my opinion.
