I saw that and was pleasantly surprised. Roberts said it very firmly.
Broken clock/ blind squirrel...
He may have been considering it, but after that rude question from Liz Warren, asking if he was even a legitimate judge, presiding in a No Witnesses Case, he thought: “Screw them, I’m supporting the president this time”.
And the Roberts as a Democrat tool theory falls apart.
Point to note is that Democrats now assume he is one of them.
“pointing back to the trial of President Andrew Johnson in 1868, where the chief justice at that time did cast votes to break two ties on procedural issues.”
And those were lessor issues, that chief justice violated the most important point the founders made. That no non-elected official should determine the welfare of the USA.
There was a HELL of a discussion at the constitutional convention of the issue of whether the courts should be elected by vote of the people or appointed.
It’s not a trial when you start with the verdict already decided. That’s called a lynching.
“It would be inappropriate for me, an unelected official from a different branch of government, to assert the power to change that result so that the motion would succeed,” he said from the chair. “
Ok.
Fine.
I still don’t trust him.
I had NO doubt that he would.
Speculation that he wants more involvement was lunacy, he wants out ASAP that’s up to Senate Rs
Waiting for the constitutional law experts of FR who were claiming otherwise to come fall on their swords.
I’M SO TIRED OF FREEPERS bitching even when a politician or Judge or whomever comes through for our side.
Ya’ll sound like annoying wives that are impossible to please.
To all of those people..here’s $5, go buy a smile.
Now that Epstein is dead and DOJ is investigation him... Trump has the dirt now baby!
I think Justice Roberts had his eyes opened. Maybe he will give a second look to that Obama judge/Trump judge thing.
Roberts made Schumer look like a complete dumbass.
What are the Dems going to say...you're a political appointee...appointed by a Republican. That would go over big.
Just curious, why wouldn’t the VP be brought in to break a tie?
I said ptty much the same thing:
He can’t vote. He is not a member of the US Senate.
CJ Roberts deserves faint praise for not digging his hole deeper after his unfounded refusal to read Sen Paul’s valid and pertinent question about Ciaramella’s relationship with this guy Misko who now works for Schiff. Everybody Knows CiaraMelaka is the ‘whistleblower’ yet they pretend not to know. If Roberts doesn’t know who he is then how would he know not to allow his name to be spoken? Schiff lilied repeatedly in the trial by saying his doesn’t know who the whistleblower USA d should be the one on trial. Rand trapped him with that question and for all purposes Roberts clearly Protected Schiff
Finally, Roberts has done one small thing to atone for his vote on Obamacare!
What a complete massive smack down of that vile @sshole Adam Schittforbrains!!! Not only did Roberts say no, he said “Hell no, you RETARD!””
He totally humiliated Schittforbrains, who I hope is suicidal right now.
Freeper trolls who continuously attacked John Robert are greatly saddened ...
