John Roberts is the biggest disappointment to the Supreme Court since Earl Warren.

I can settle the whole argument without all the legal mumbo jumbo with one question;

Why didn’t the supreme court interpret political intent when Obama removed it from the census?

Once we get Amy Coney Barrett on the Court, let whispers of TRUMP telling Senators to make a deal with Democrats

Help us get rid of Roberts & we will give you Merrick Garland! Once Roberts hears these rumors, he will start voting straight GOP on EVERYTHING!!!! LOL

POTUS should ask one question for clarification. Is it constitutional or not? Yes or no?

Other than hat, he should just go ahead and reprint the forms with it in.

We should all clip this article and mail it to Injustice Roberts. He is making a mockery of the rule of law

#2: "John Roberts is the biggest disappointment to the Supreme Court since Earl Warren."

Absolutely. No doubt about it.

Even more horrible is that it will only get worse as Roberts "grows" into his job over the years.

Our only hope is if one of the five libs dies soon. We only have four conservatives on the Supreme Court. Dear Lord, please make that five conservatives by the end of President Trump's first term. In Jesus name!

Whatever it is they have on Roberts, its knowable. If the black hats have it, the white hats should be able to determine what it is and either free him up from blackmail, or simply present it to him directly and force him to resign.

In any case, he needs to go. He is subject to improper influence and that means he has to go... but he will only go if he is more afraid of the white hats than he is of the black hats.

Similar to the Acosta episode. He was subject to improper influence when he agreed to Epstein’s sweetheart deal. We need to know who was pressuring him... but the fact that there is something out there that makes him “pressurable” meant he had to go. What it was we maybe don’t need to know, since he is out of government. But the fact that he has some kind of baggage that compromises him means he had to go.

Well not quite yet, but I have no doubt he will get there post haste.

Was there a lawsuit filed to prevent the removal then?

How much more proof do you need that this country is ruled by a hidden elite exercising control from the sidelines.

Well... it’s definitely late in the game, but is it too late to start one? It’s not going to save the 2020 census, but something needs to be done about a duplicitous rejection by the SC. They can’t question Trumps intent without applying the same question to Obama’s

John Roberts is keenly interested in protecting the SCOTUS as an institution, and somehow has come to the misguided conclusion that he can split hairs in such a way as to shield it from criticism. This is not the first time he has done this.

In this instance, I think he counted on PDJT staying resolute, reconstructing his plan to add the citizenship question, and then moving forward to have that on the census. Roberts could then step back and say, “Hey, no harm, no foul. All’s well that ends well; thanks to the SCOTUS.”

But PDJT is a crafty fellow. He gets to have his cake and eat it too. He finds another means to construct the same data. He disarms the Dems. He wins in the court of public opinion. He makes John Roberts in particular look like a fool. And he reinforces in the minds of his base (and increasingly of independents) that the judiciary is a big part of this country’s problems.

PDJT is described by liberals everywhere and always as impetuous, as if he opens his mouth and stuff comes out. My sense is the opposite. He plays with gut instincts but is premeditated and calculating. He stays relentlessly on message and methodically on plan. Because Dems fail to understand him, they react reflexively, flailing about, and always jumping the shark. This in turn gives him greater license to tweet incendiary things, since he knows that Dems will come back orders of magnitude more incendiary and largely incoherent.

I am neither fan nor foe of this president, but his reliable winning streak is impressive and likely to continue. I just hope that he does not become complacent or filled with hubris.

Nobody sued to stop the Kenyan from Indonesia from removing it.

Just as nobody sued to stop DACA.

Just as nobody stopped him from usurping the Presidency in violation of the Constitution.

He made a mockery of the Constitution on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009

He was far from alone.

Yeah it’s a tax, and for some reason Americans don’t need to know how many of the people who partake of our great country are citizens.
