I’m more and more convinced that he was threatened in a way that had teeth.
I see this as our country’s Reichstag fire. The implications are that this is not the last time the nuclear option will be used (things like HUGE voter fraud). The near future will be very interesting.
“I’m more and more convinced that he was threatened in a way that had teeth.”
Probably; it’s how the Chicago mob/political machine operates. Blackmail and worse are SOP for these people. Roberts knows better; this isn’t what his life has been about. Something evil was threatened, I believe.
IMO, the President and his party threatened to unleash hell on the conservative justices.
They for the most part are pretty obscure to the general public away from the court; imagine what they’d face having the Occupy crowd down their throats all the time.
Guess we’ll never know.
If he was threatened, I am thinking - as a previous FRer had noted- that it was about the adoptions of his two children.
If so, ‘out’ the adoption. Who, what, why, where, when. Get to the bottom of those adoptions. Find out what may have been used against him or be prepared to bend over with many more rulings like that compliments of Roberts.
“I’m more and more convinced that he was threatened in a way that had teeth.”
That’s the only thing that makes sense to me.
The reasoning was too tortured and inconsistent with any approach Roberts has used in the past.
May be clutching at straws but I agree with you.
the smell of blackmail is in the air.
Remember,back when he was first being considered, NBC went on a witch hunt regarding his two children, adopted from South America.
They have - gasp - blond hair and blue eyes - from S. Amer. surely, thought the media lackey, there's got to be a story there...
Blackmail is the clintooon/Chicago way...gathering info and sitting on it until it can best serve them.
he also has epilepsy. Threaten to make a major fuss over it in public and sway the people to 'He shouldn't be sitting on the bench?"
Anything is possible. WE are dealing with some deep evil these days, folks.
“I see this as our country’s Reichstag fire.”
Fast and Furious was supposed to be our country’s Gleiwitz incident.
See my tagline.
What could the White House have on him?
I think he must have been blackmailed. I wish someone would investigate that angle.
