Chief Justice Roberts now dragged into Democrat impeachment process
American Thinker ^ | November 22, 2019 | Ed Timperlake

Posted on 11/22/2019 6:36:42 AM PST by LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget

The target of Democrat zealots in the House of Representatives lead by Speaker Pelosi and Adam Schiff is to impeach and remove President Donald Trump. Sadly for him the person they have a much higher probability of removing from his lofty perch is Chief Justice John Roberts. The famous cliché; the law of unintended consequences is fast approaching.

...

Since the Constitution definitely states it must be the “Chief Justice” by title that presides over a Senate trail it can easily be understood and fully accepted that provision (b) of serving in government employment is not an ABA ethical disqualification. However, provision “c” cannot be ignored, and thus the law of unintended consequences will kick in.

The Constitution requires specifically that the Chief Justice must be the Judge for the Senate Trial. According to ABA ethics if Chief Justice Roberts is a material witness he cannot and should not fulfill his constitutional role and must step aside. He will have one of the biggest conflicts of interest in American history.

The constitution does not say “acting” Chief Justice so if he must recuse himself and another Justice legally and ethically steps into the Impeachment proceedings that Justice must become the Chief Justice... If the replacement Justice does not become the legal Chief Justice the Senate trial is fatally flawed from the opening gavel.

So the question for this article is simple;

Madam Speaker are you prepared to see Chief Justice Roberts step aside to become just an associate Justice while a new Chief Justice is selected and given the oath of office?

It is that serious you ignorant zealots.

Chief Justice Clarence Thomas. Let the leftists attack the black justice and throw the racism tag at them. Plus what patriot wouldn’t prefer Thomas over the comprimised Roberts?

“Fiona looks like a guy.”

I thought she looked like Rudolf Hess. Maybe it was the eyebrows, and the flatline mouth.

Geez, the least of my worries. Who presides over the Senate will have next to nothing to do with the outcome. The President is not going to be removed from office from this process. There is no way. This is all just a big dog and pony show to appeal to the commie Rat base and get them to vote in 2020. The Rats know this. There is NO WAY Trump is removed.

Unless he presided in some way over that particular document on the FISA court or the FISA court judges themselves are under investigation he’s not a material witness in anyway shape or form.

Please read this carefully. It is very important because it could not only be the key to moving the Blackmailed Roberts out as C J BUT but but maybeeeeeeeeeee impeaching him for THIS and thus avoiding his further embarrassment over the illegal adoption of his children. At this point I don’t care about destroying him. I just want him gone so the blackmailing stops and we can get an honest justice in to take his place.

"Chief Justice Clarence Thomas! That would cause some heads to spin."

I would prefer a Chief Justice Kavanaugh to really watch heads explode.

How did he become a material witness?

—————

Roberts is head of the FISA court and, while probably not a coup plotter, he was intimately involved in the process surrounding theFISA abuse.

Thus he is a witness and must recuse.

Unfortunately, recusal means Roberts will have to resign as Chief Justice

I would go with Chief Justice Gorsuch. He would be around a lot longer.

Roberts can end this in an instant. He can announce that, if he must step down as Chief Justice, he will recommend Brett Kavanaugh replace him. The Dems would go ape feces over that!

Indeed; it is easy to conclude he was the beneficiary of child trafficing and has been under the Deep State's control ever since. They let him play around for appearances except when they really need his vote to help destroy America.

Roberts should go to West Texas on a hunting trip and sleep with a pillow on his face.

That’s exactly how it will play out.

President Trump has got to be having the time of his life.

He will never be removed by impeachment

How old is Thomas? Who can we really count on?

Philip Alito, the son of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito Jr., has left Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher to become a staff counsel to Republicans on a U.S. Senate investigative subcommittee.

The Constitution is an illusion.

The last occupant of the Oval Office was not a natural born citizen.

Roberts swore him in anyway.

Oops. Wish he was on the Supreme Court now.

Only Roberts as Chief Justice can determine whether he can be sanctioned short of impeachment and removal of himself.
