Roberts apparently believes a state has no right to ensure the safety within its borders for the abortion procedure. He has mouthed his dedication to judicial restraint, but his decisions at the SCOTUS show him to be a seriously conflicted jurist.

Robert's nomination by GDubya, as were his father's nominations, are examples of how ill- suited, most of the time, the old-line GOP leadership is to ever subduing the left in this or probably any other regard.

Roberts is a total disaster.

GW Bush appointee. What a joke.

I think it was levin who said that Democrats choose team players for judges, but Republicans choose based on esoteric adherence to types of legal interpretation.

If there is blackmail material out there on Roberts, isn’t it time to find it out and bring it to light? Or bury it once more, IF the price is right....Like a retirement for health reasons when POTUS wins re-election.

GW was a Bushitter. When asked directly about laws and regulations being Unconstitutional GW said “That ship has sailed, we can’t go on fighting battles we have already lost” BEFORE he was elected the first time, when he should have been his most Conservative. I heard Republicans saying “Bush is MUCH more conservative than his Father”. Rino’s, the party establishment is stock full of them.

We need to ditch the GOP globalist party and start a Trump MAGA party.

The next SCOTUS judge will be picked by a Dem.

So it won’t matter.

I wonder how much was put into Robert’s Maltese bank account this time?

I think Bush or at least Roberts made a deal with the Democrats to side with them on their issues in exchange for an easy confirmation and future cash payments.

Its all WWE Kabuki theater, DC forces what the elites want down our throats, while making it appear that votes still matter just enough to prevent an all out insurrection against them.

But unfortunately for them, Trump is the proverbial "fly in the ointment" ...

Roberts: in his confirmation hearing, made it clear that he was a Roberts-ian. He told us that this was his approach.

Breyer authored the majority opinion.

Roberts wrote his own Concurring opinion. Begins on page 46.

Thomas wrote the dissent. Page 62

Alito wrote his own dissent. Page 82

Gorsuch wrote his own dissent Page 116.

Kavanaugh also wrote a 2-page dissent. Page 137

I read much of Roberts. Gorsuch was excellent. Thorough & brutal ... picks apart Roberts/Breyer.

I recommend reading Gorsuch.

Each of the opinions

While Plessy v. Ferguson was never officially overturned, Brown v. Board rendered it moot. It has not been cited for precedence since.

“...When is the last time he decided anything in a remotely conservative way?...”
Maybe back before he was blackmailed?? Dunno.

Agree. They need to be made public. They’re most likely some xxx kiddie porn-type pics of him in a verrrrrry compromising way some kid while on Epstein’s Island. Whatever it is, it’s got him fully compromised. They need to made public which should force the POS to step down.

Many on all sides will never vote for a Mormon as president....Mormons in politics play to Mormons’ best interests no matter what party they pretend to belong to. Reid and Romney....no differences between them at all.

That is what happened in 2012 from our side.
