Stop sweating, lefties. Chief Justice Roberts will save you. He has tried to convince us that he's mostly conservative but sides with the left on occasion. But of course those occasions tend to be the really big issues, and then he basically just makes stuff up to justify a position he cannot justify with the law. In other words, the basis of his decision is really politics. And when it is, he comes down on the left.

With Kennedy gone, Roberts will be forced to be more openly on the left side. He will abandon the pretense of supporting the conservatives except in a few token issues. Watch for it, Roberts is going to be the guy who saves the lefties from a conservative court, and denies the country the chance to claw back a little liberty from the dictators in black robes.

We should consider ourselves lucky that Bush's second SCOTUS appointment went to Sam Alito who has been wonderful. Never forget that Bush gave us Roberts who has been at best a disappointment and I believe is poised to go full Earl Warren on us. And he tried to give us Harriet Miers who I am sure would have also been a globalist tool on the bench, but the hew and cry was lout enough that he was forced to scramble and accidentally appointed someone good in Alito. And you know what? I bet Bush regrets that most of anything he did in office.

I’m kinda hoping Trump can add a more conservative and constitutional SC judge and appoint them Chief, demoting Roberts.

I think around time Roberts was being appointed I read the President can make changes of who is Cheif or not.

I agree somewhat. To get where we want to go. We need Gorsuch 2.0 and Buzzie or Sotomeyer or Breyer to leave. Then we have 4-4 and the floater Roberts. What takes us over the top is two more after Kennedy is replaced IMO
