It’s one of the ladies...if anyone. And she could be impeached....but would step down before that happened.

Just checked on twitter. I love the smell of Leftist heads exploding in the morning.

Here’s is Chief Justice Roberts’ problem: he is now part of the minority. His 1-to-4-to-4 decision salvaging Obamacare will be next. Roberts will go down in history as a particularly ineffective Chief Justice.

Consider Chief Justice Earl Warren. He too was a liberal Republican, but he strove to get a 9-to-0 vote in Brown v. Topeka Board of Education. By seeking consensus in ending segregation, Warren played a key role in the civil rights movement.

Roberts is no Earl Warren. Roberts could have bargained with the conservatives to fashion a decision with softer language in return for his vote. But, it appears that he choose, instead, to make the decision overturning Roe into a 5-4 decision.

Having said these things, we are only dealing with a leaked draft of a majority decision, and - there being no precedent to the leaking of such things - we don’t know what may transpire before the actual decision is released.

He voted correctly on Obergefell, but pro perv Kennedy gave us that abomination.

Cases like this leads me to believe that the so-called moderate judges pre-determine the ruling that they want and trade off being the deciding vote. This allows them to distribute the criticism.

I strongly feel Roberts is hiding something or the LIBS are holding something over his head.... blackmail!

There is zero evidence that John Roberts is some rock-ribbed conservative being blackmailed into voting against his will. He didn't "join" the liberal justices - he _is_ a liberal justice. This is what he is, and what George W gave us.

:: in order to give D’s a fighting chance ::

And, herewith, you have touched the real reason for the leak.
Antifa and BLM will make a resurgence.
Blue urban areas will be the targets.

And he voted for this to give the D’s SOMETHING to run on for the midterms. Full stop.

Roberts doesn’t care about State’s Rights. He’s doing what he’s told. Period.

Roberts is a coward.

Think how much we all owe Donald Trump.

I’m with you and still watching.
“Official” fake news always has a narrative/reason.

The actual rumor is Roberts wanted to split the baby.

He wanted to uphold the MS law but not completely overturn Roe.

I have to keep thinking the hat marriage decision is more recent and possibly had less Constitutional logic behind it.

That slippery slope of the radical gay and now transgender movement has done great damage to society.

Unprecedented?, Maybe not, but your statement comes across as NO BIG DEAL.
I mean if it happened in 1852, I mean, what the heck, it’s no big deal it happened yesterday!
SHEESH!!!!!!!!!!!
