Roberts is captain underpants. He leads NOTHING!

Total sell out

Bush presidency becoming less and less relavent each day.

Hollywood taking chainsaw to Cheney.

Still no pushback from W?

Grow some ball$ man!

I’ve given up on W, and the Bull$hit Bush clan.

They were NOT interested in protecting USA.

They were swamp creatures!!!!

MAGA!

Roberts blows with the wind - more concerned with perception of the court than doing right by the constitution and American citizens. lukewarm.

Hes no better than socialist libtards who lie to our faces, demanding we believe their lies, and get pised when we do not.

Hes the exact same thing.

Maybe the meaning of “conservative” has changed & we weren’t notified.

He is controlled. Roberts needs to be removed from the bench.

They’re cut from a similar cloth.

For all the raves about the Federalist Society, I increasingly think they are not our friends.

By his voting pattern recently, It looks move like Roberts is trying to establish a block to move the court left ...

The Slimes has it backward - his only “attempt to make it look like SCOTUS is not partisan” is that he will have to move further to the left to override the actual constitutional Justices...

Voting with the liberals is sure an excellent plan to prove you’re a non-partan conservative.

Actually, it proves you’re a partisan liberal.

Chief Justice John Roberts is now the Supreme Court’s swing vote
The retirement of Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy is all but certain to shift the ideology of the court to the right
.
As the court’s swing vote, Kennedy is what political scientists call the “median justice.” Plot out the ideology of the court’s nine members, and you’ll find Kennedy smack in the middle with four conservatives on one side and four liberals on the other. The median justice wields considerable power on the court: On decisions that split neatly by ideology, you can’t have a majority without the median justice.
