Yes, either he’s a closet homosexual (taking trips with his old college pal instead of his wife), there was something illegal about how they adopted their kids, or he is on the Epstein flight list. I’ve heard all of those possibilities. Or, he’s just a George Bush deep state, uniparty RINO type
Yeah, I don't buy that at all.
His rulings of the last several years have very consistently been adverse to the republic and to the Constitution.
Have his meds made him a liberal statist? I think not.
Blackmail.
OK, you may be right.
But wasn't he touted as a somewhat-conservative Constitutionalist? He was with the Federalist Society, which is originalist and conservative, at least in that regard.
That’s a pilot log book excerpt. Passengers are listed on a passenger manifest, not in the pilot’s own personal logbook. In Epstein’s case, I wouldn’t be surprised if there never was a passenger manifest. There’s no requirement for one on personal aircraft. Not to mention, John Roberts is a pretty common name.
WHY NO ISLAMIC MOSQUES ????
Wait until Trump is sworn in, by him. What wonderful irony— and then... Roberts resigns, so he can live with a boyfriend in Malta.
5-4, thank God that bitch died. Roberts is such an asshole.
It's CNN's Fredo and his other brother Fredo.
Yeah but William Brennan was also one of the top five worst SC justices ever appointed. Ike didn’t have good intincts when it came to appointing SC justices.
Nominated by POTUS.
So nominated by POTUS. Does that also appoint him too, or does he have to go through some hearing process after nomination?
Roberts needs to be taken down a peg or two.
I probably should have used the word appointed by POTUS. But must be confirmed by Senate. No requirement that they must have been an associate Justice. I believe about one third were prior associate justices.
Thanks. But why not provide some of the rebuke of Gorsuch:
New York’s Governor has asserted the power to assign different color codes to different parts of the State and govern each by ex- ecutive decree. In “red zones,” houses of worship are all but closed—limited to a maximum of 10 people. In the Ortho- dox Jewish community that limit might operate to exclude all women, considering 10 men are necessary to establish a minyan , or a quorum. In “orange zones,” it’s not much dif- ferent. Churches and synagogues are limited to a maxi- mum of 25 people. These restrictions apply even to the larg- est cathedrals and synagogues, which ordinarily hold hundreds. And the restrictions apply no matter the precau- tions taken, including social distancing, wearing masks, leaving doors and windows open , forgoing singing, and dis- infecting spaces between services.
At the same time, the Governor has chosen to impose no capacity restrictions on certain businesses he considers “es- sential.” And it turns out the businesses the Governor con- siders essential include hardw are stores, acupuncturists, and liquor stores. Bicycle repair shops, certain signage companies, accountants, lawyers, and insurance agents are all essential too. So, at least according to the Governor, it may be unsafe to go to church, but it is always fine to pick up another bottle of wine, shop for a new bike, or spend the afternoon exploring your distal points and meridians. Who knew public health would so perfectly align with secular convenience?
As almost everyone on the Court today recognizes, squar- ing the Governor’s edicts with our traditional First Amend- ment rules is no easy task. People may gather inside for extended periods in bus stations and airports, in laundro- mats and banks, in hardware stores and liquor shops. No apparent reason exists why people may not gather, subject to identical restrictions, in churches or synagogues, espe- cially when religious institutions have made plain that they stand ready, able, and willing to follow all the safety pre - cautions required of “essential” businesses and perhaps more besides.
The only explanation for treating religious places differently seems to be a judgment that what hap- pens there just isn’t as “essential” as what happens in sec- ular spaces. Indeed, the Governor is remarkably frank about this: In his judgment laundry and liquor, travel and tools, are all “essential” while traditional religious exercises are not. That is exactly the kind of discrimination the First Amendment forbids.
Nor is the problem an isolated one. In recent months, certain other Governors have issued similar edicts. At the flick of a pen, they have asserted the right to privilege res- taurants, marijuana dispensaries, and casinos over churches, mosques, and temples. See Calvary Chapel Day-ton Valley v. Sisolak , 591 U. S https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf/20a87_4g15.pdf
Not only is it a rather common name, but top results for websearch find some big names like Fox News’s chief White House correspondent, a TN car dealership, and a guy that owns four spas in Ohio. But I would wager it’s either Chief Justice of the Fox guy, the rest aren’t likely politically connected enough.
