Double-minded ruling by a double-minded Justice.
I’ve come to the conclusion that Roberts simply isn’t even a particularly good legal scholar, let alone someone with the skill and intellectual fortitude to mange the Supreme Court and be a capable Chief Justice.
PS. Notice how the leftist SCOTUS judges never wobble--its always our supposedly conservative justices who dribble leftward. I'm sick of them and regret I only have two hands with the middle finger.
What's that you say - they keep electing the same reprobates that won't do their job? Sorry, then I got no sympathy.
“Someday, liberals could win an environmental-protection measure in a state and see a conservative governor and attorney general refuse to enforce or defend it,” he told me. “When that time comes, the proponents may seek their day in federal court and find that there’s only darkness because they lack any standing to defend their own law.”
Nah, Republicans don’t have the guts. They always tell us it is now the law and they have to enforce it. Only communist/liberals get away with not enforcing laws.
Which begs the question, why did the homosexual justices on the Supreme Court not recuse themselves?
HOMOSEXUAL, because there’s nothing GAY about it.
What baffles me is the argument. 87 congress members and a president are racist because sodomizers have rights ?
The Chief Justice can set the rule of the the arguments of merit to the case before the court. It’s done every day it’s known as “the judge won’t allow”. Because the administration now favors “gay marriage” I wouldn’t expect what could be called a healthy defence from them. Sodomy wasn’t the issue . The issue was protecting the integrity and intention of a basic unit of society through a mechanisim known as marriage to encourage familys.
What should we expect from a political party which itself has gone through a marriage with one world socialist radicals known to many as communists who can’t even use the word God. They’ve hyphenated into Demo-Coms.
I don’t know what the left is using to blackmail Roberts but it is powerful stuff.
With his asinine decisions on Obamacare and Prop-8, Roberts has lost any stature and credibility he might have earned over the years.
He is making a bigger ass of himself than Marco Rubio is doing in his Gang-Of-Eight immigration debacle, and that is no mean feat.
True, with one caveat.
Roberts' abdication of his oath and duties isn't a dribble leftward - it is a gusher.
He has made a a fool of himself with his efforts to twist logic and rationalize decisions he knows to be bad.
Whatever Obama is using to blackmail him is working well - for Obama.
Roberts place in history will be found filed under "Obama's Chumps and Fools".
Scalia was the 5th vote with the majority. Read what he wrote.
“Governor Jerry Brown is already ordering clerks to issue marriage licenses to gays in California, a bold step”
The clerks have standing.
Roberts is just odd. It absolutely creates this problem.
Having said that . . . I HATE the Prop system here in CA. Props are mob rule. People who have no responsibility for the decision, and have done almost NO research, pass laws based on TV commercials. The Prop system should be ended. Don’t like laws? Elect someone else.
Last I checked, this was a representative Republic, not a populist mobocracy. If the sheeple vote to take our money and our guns away, guys like Fund would get the point.
In other words, until the Democrat Socialists are able to seat a leftist chief justice, Roberts will do just fine.
It’s time for States to begin to assert their authority under the 10th amendment, and declare actions like these to be extra-constitutional abuses of (limited) Federal power.
There is no need to ask the Federal Government for permission to exercise duly granted State authorities, or to deny the enforcement of abusive legislation and judicial fiat.
Who will bell the cat?
My ONLY comfort in this decision is Roberts will stand before Almighty God some day, as we all will, and will he then tell God he doesn’t have standing?
with the current court membership, does anyone here WANT tHEM TO hear the case on its merits?
Kennedy and the 4 libs would vote for a right to gay marriage, nationally. Scalia was smart to get it punted back to California. Somebody with standing will sue or get sued. It will be back soon enough, hopefully with a new judge replacing a lib.
Kennedy turns 77 next month. Not old enough to die.

Remind me which Presidents gave us Kennedy and Roberts?
We have a Catholic/Jewish court, few of whom appear to follow the avowed teachings of their religion. Can’t we find a President who could appoint straight shooters?
