Maybe I don’t, but the issue would not be a great matter to your average American. If it was such a big deal, why didn’t the Dems use it to kill his nomination outright? It would have been unlike them to let that one slide................

Roberts just signaled to the dems they have a friend on the Supreme Court. Sure hope one of the other left wing Justices retire soon so they can be replace with a normal and law abiding Justice.

Who the F does he think he’s kidding.

Does this little sheetbird think Ruth Buzzy was talking as an an objective jurist when she said Candidate Trump made her want to move to New Zealand?

Little Bobby didn’t send up a flare then.

Are we supposed to believe him or our own lyin’ eyes?

Trump was right! Obama appointed judges all seem to be opposing whatever Trump is trying to do to protect the people of this country with regard to Immigration, abortion, etc.

"You are just lucky that the NYT just HINTED at your children’s ILLEGAL ADOPTION!",p> If he had not met with the NYT editorial board and let them know his real feelings, they would have hounded him to death like they did Kavanaugh. Once his views were known to them, the word was put out to all the media lemmings that he would be playing ball and his confirmation was smooth.

“Chief Justice Roberts is theoretically correct.”

But, in practice, Trump is right.

One more conservative to the court takes that backstabbing SOB out of the equation.

Roberts said Wednesday the U.S. doesn’t have “Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges.”>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Roberts is wrong about that. The whole 9th circuit is full of such waggle Justices who make law out of whole cloth, legislating from the bench instead of following the Constitution.

These radical judges are tearing the country apart,dangerously overpowering the executive branch in execution of its constitutional duties, such as protecting any state from invasion, as indicated in Article 4 clause 2 of the Constitution. That includes invasion by the so called “Caravan” of the present day.

He could have, and should have, ignored it as a political question and said that SCOTUS doesn’t get involved in political matters beyond adjudicating the cases before it.

"Roberts is wrong about that."

While many think the statement by Roberts was dumb or naive, I think his counter punch at the President proves just how political the judicial system is ...and that he knows it.
