Jeb Bush: Chief Justice John Roberts Is Doing ‘A Good Job’
Daily Caller ^ | 9/16/15 | Steve Guest

Posted on 09/17/2015 3:16:10 AM PDT by markomalley

Jeb Bush insisted that Chief Justice John Roberts was doing “a good job.”

Bush, appearing on the main stage during the GOP debate on CNN Wednesday, suggested “going forward, what we need to do is to have someone that has a long-standing set of rulings that consistently makes it clear that he is focused, exclusively on upholding the constitution of the United States, that they won’t try to use the bench as a means by which to legislate.”

Jeb Bush: Well first of all, as I said he supported John Roberts, he supported him publicly. So you can rewrite history I guess Ted, but the simple fact is, you supported him because he had all the criteria that you would have thought would have made a great justice. And I think he is doing a good job. But the simple fact is going forward, what we need to do is to have someone that has a long-standing set of rulings that consistently makes it clear that he is focused, exclusively on upholding the constitution of the United States, that they won’t try to use the bench as a means by which to legislate. And that’s what we should do. And I hope I’ll be working with members of the United States Senate to fight hard for the passage of people that have that kind of qualification.

Well, John Roberts is doing at least as good a job as Jeb Bush.

Just another ignorant Jeb opinion and another reason not to vote for him.

Why doesn’t he just run as a demonRAT?

I don’t see any significant difference between his platform and that of the DemonRAT party.

Well, at least Mr. Weatherbee admits to being a socialist (if I am not mistaken).

As an aside, and I do realize that FEMA’s role in Katrina was a two way street of (mis)coordination between Federal and Local authorities, this comment reminds me of the unfortunate and inopportune by W with respect to Michael Brown, FEMA director at the time —— “Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job................”

Democrats nominate people who have been screaming and litigating for abortion for thirty years, and the Republicans vote for them because they are “qualified.”

Republicans nominate stealth candidates, hoping the Democrats can’t find a plausible reason to block them.

Really, Jeb!?

I think he should be impeached, also that campaigning for POTUS in Spanish from behind the counter in a food truck, when the entire world knows you are an elitist trust fund baby is a loser strategy.

Reason #6,492 why not to vote for Jebush: He would spend his entire four years defending his brothers administration.

Anyone in the base who did not laugh out loud at that statement has not been paying attention,

“Jeb Bush insisted that Chief Justice John Roberts was doing “a good job.”

That’s what all liberals are saying and only a liberal would
agree. The Bush’s are lying liberals pretending to be
republicans. Jeb is no different.

The letter I sent to Roberts after his last obamacare vote:

In re: King v Burwell

Chief Justice Roberts:

“It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.”

George Orwell + John Roberts

You don’t have to try so hard, Jeb. You’re imploding just fine without all the added effort.

Gun-grabbin’ Jebbie, the Spanish-speaking pencil-necked geek! I’ll vote for him on the 7th of NEVER.
