[Who is John Galt?]

Justice Clarence Thomas has stated: "When faced with a clash of constitutional principle and a line of unreasoned cases wholly divorced from the text, history, and structure of our founding document, we should not hesitate to resolve the tension in favor of the Constitution's original meaning." Such an approach could have powerful and positive consequences for any 2nd Amendment cases that reach the high court, particularly if Justice Thomas is in a position to write or assign the majority opinion.

(I've always thought that the biggest mistake of Dubya's presidency was his failure to nominate Clarence Thomas to be Chief Justice! ;>)

We need to find out who has what on Roberts, and expose it.

Take him for a ride in a Blackhawk.

I find it distasteful that the article author alluded to the ‘conservative’ Supreme Court justices as a “cabal”!!

But, then again, with “this wrong woman” now part of the SCOTUS team, I might have expected it.

I like the concept, but
I strongly suspect that
Judge Thomas would like to retire soon, and is holding out for the duration of Trump’s first term only.
It may be time to make Supreme Court appointments not for a lifetime, but for perhaps 25 years.

COULD the Chief Justice be shouldered aside? What makes you think he has not ALREADY been reduced to irrelevance?

Donald J. Trump plays an amazing game of 3-D and even 4-D chess, with moves so arcane that even years from now, the full importance will still be getting revealed.

I am counting on ACB to shame Roberts into being more of an originalist. Her cold dry logic is irrefutable. I already sell challenge his legislating from the bench.

It could have even more impact if it were applied to the Commerce Clause, you know, restricting jurisdiction of Federal commercial regulation to actual interstate commerce as it used to be before the New Deal.

There’s a possibility that John Roberts may be more conservative IF Kavanaugh or Gorsuch do not defect.

[mass55th]

Let’s hope so.

Well he is not going to die in a hunting cabin with a pillow over his head. The democrats love him too much.

roberts would just change sides to control the opinion to have it watered down.
