John Roberts is no doubt a brainy man, and that seems to carry a lot of weight among the intelligentsia — despite glaring lessons from history, showing very brainy men creating everything from absurdities to catastrophes. Few of the great tragedies of history were created by the village idiot, and many by the village genius.

Without even going past your post, that is THE line in the whole article that grabbed me. Well said again, Dr. Sowell!

Another thought re: Village Idiot - So far, SloJo Biden, our own village idiot, has only created entertaining sound bites, and no tragedies. I will
stand up for my point to the end...

I just happened to read this excellent Sowell piece on another site. Once again, he is spot on! Simply, Roberts betrayed his oath of office. Many of the *pundit* comments in the wake of the Roberts decision are irrelevant. I pray....God Bless America!

Roberts thinks he is Smarter than everyone. That’s the whole problem with judicial activism and statism.
1 guy/gal/king/queen making decisions for 300,000,000 people doesn’t have their interests at heart. Only free citizens have that.
Weird SCOTUS decision.
