Does Roberts have epilepsy?
I thought that the adoption thing was just speculation,not fact.

(d) Whoever, with intent to extort from any person, firm, association, or corporation, any money or other thing of value, transmits in interstate or foreign commerce any communication containing any threat to injure the property or reputation of the addressee or of another or the reputation of a deceased person or any threat to accuse the addressee or any other person of a crime, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

Definition of 'extortion': Virtually all extortion statutes require that a threat must be made to the person or property of the victim. Threats to harm the victim's friends or relatives may also be included. It is not necessary for a threat to involve physical injury. It may be sufficient to threaten to accuse another person of a crime or to expose a secret that would result in public embarrassment or ridicule. The threat does not have to relate to an unlawful act.
Other types of threats sufficient to constitute extortion include those to harm the victim's business and those to either testify against the victim or withhold testimony necessary to his or her defense or claim in an administrative proceeding or a lawsuit. Many statutes also provide that any threat to harm another person in his or her career or reputation is extortion.

the black mail was the fact that he and his wife adopted two children from south America. they were actually Irish citizens and the paper work on the adoption was improper because it was filed in the south American country. basically they threatened him with turning the kids over to a relative in Ireland using treaty obligations we have sighed to prevent the trafficking in children.
You know it!
May your chains rest lightly upon you.
Great.
Your question would be an interesting one to pose to a Grand Jury questioning deer Neera.
There are photos of Roberts with a few gay guys...blackmail!
We can whine about it all we like, but you really have to give the Dems credit for all they've accomplished.
The Democrat party and the Leftist movement is a well oiled machine that does nothing but win.
They play to WIN. Every single time.
I wish our side was as half as aggressive as they are.
I’ve seen one photo that was foo-fooey. I suppose there are more. He’s the Chief Justice for life. Photos shouldn’t be enough to get him to retire...especially in this “age of enlightenment”.
“Political pressure” always means blackmail.
This poll tells me that every presidential poll showing Hillary leading anything is absolutely manufactured, in advance, to align with the voter fraud already in the works.
Wake me when the shooting starts.
It turns out that I was right.
This is not a secret. John Roberts was and is being blackmailed because he and his wife illegally adopted their two children. The kids were born to different mothers in the Irish free state where the law it no nonIrish citizen can adopt an Irish born child. The kids were taken from Ireland to an undisclosed (yes undisclosed} country in South America where the adoptions took place. This is well known because at the time of his confirmation hearings te New York Times published this information then suddenly dropped it when the left realized they could blackmail Roberts at will. The left has carefully used this blackmail and only applied the threat three times once with gay marriage and twice with Obamavare. When the last Obamacare case was ruled on Scalia was shocked and said he had talked to Roberts 45 minutes before the ruling cazme down and Roberts told him he was going to vote no on Obamacare. Clearly the pressure talked about in this email was applied in a phone call during that small window of time. It might even have been from Obama himself. Look this up. Don’t take my word.
I agree with every word you posted ,, the news was that the emails confirmed what we already knew.
He adopted Irish kids at a time it was illegal in Ireland for Americans to adopt. He has publicly stated they were adopted from Latin America.
So they were going to go after this family and also his breaking adoption laws to try to boot him off the court.
I read his full decision. It really does read like the against position but then someone hastily went through and rewrote parts to support Obamacare.
