Is he still being Blackmailed?
The AP engaging in wishful thinking.
That was my first thought.
If they did it to preserve Obamacare, they will do it again ... and again.
Is he still being Blackmailed?
If he has been blackmailed in the past, he is no longer under threat (unless who ever has negative information on him just want to destroy him).
Let us assume he has been blackmailed, and let us assume that what ever it is is released to the public, what would the results be...
1. He sucks it up, explains his side of the issue and remain on the bench, no longer afraid of exposure.
2. he sucks it up, explains his side of the issue and resigns from the court. President Trump appoints a new Justice.
3. Those with the information decide not to use it, he realizes that their knowledge is no longer a threat and he begins to rule according to the constitution. A win for us.
The only bad outcome is if he is such a moral coward he remains under the control of his (supposed) blackmailers.
Of course Justice Roberts could just be one of those guys you can not figure out and will vote how he “feels” on an issue.
No.
Obama was doing the blackmail.
In a sense no, but also in a sense yes. If he were blackmailed then that actively stopped once Trump started to weed the pond. But if he was, then he is now wondering when the truth will come out. From a number of key points in the Strzok texts, we have learned that several people were gone after, including Justices.
Once all is made public about the FISA unmaskings, that will become evident that the potential is that he was.
Roberts was blackmailed/threatened to change his vote on CommieCare - Scalia confirmed that change.
So it’s highly likely he can be blackmailed/threatened on other issues.
Thanks “W” for knowingly giving us someone who can be blackmailed...and he tried to give us the leftist, Harriet Myers.
That’s the big question.
That was my response.
He thought he was off the hook, and now they are digging up the papers on his kids again.
