CNN: John Roberts Worked Up Until Last Minute in Attempt to Flip Conservative Justices on Roe v. Wade Decision
The Gateway Pundit ^ | July 26, 2022 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 07/26/2022 1:06:04 PM PDT by Macho MAGA Man

On Tuesday CNN reported on how Chief Justice John Roberts worked up until the last minute in an attempt to flip conservative justices on the Roe v. Wade decision.

Steve Bannon says CNN could not have reported this without John Robert’s assistance, via Midnight Rider.

This makes you wonder if it was Chief Justice Roberts who leaked the decision to the press months before it was announced hoping to change some minds?

CNN reported:

Chief Justice John Roberts privately lobbied fellow conservatives to save the constitutional right to abortion down to the bitter end, but May’s unprecedented leak of a draft opinion reversing Roe v. Wade made the effort all but impossible, multiple sources familiar with negotiations told CNN.

It appears unlikely that Roberts’ best prospect — Justice Brett Kavanaugh — was ever close to switching his earlier vote, despite Roberts’ attempts that continued through the final weeks of the session.

Why did he vote with them? Did he say before that he wanted it overturned?

He didn't. His concurring opinion was to uphold the Mississippi law as consistent with the Roe v. Wade trimester framework, while dissenting from the overrule.

So, it was 6-3 to uphold the Mississippi law and 5-4 to overrule Roe and Casey.

He was for a half-measure. Ruling for the state of MS but not overturning Roe.

Traitor Roberts still being a traitor against the Constitution and a single tier Rule of Law based on logic and rational reasoning?

Whoda thunk it?

What this story says about Roberts is that he does not decide cases on their Consittionality as required by his oath, but by his politics which he has shown constantly to be on the Left. Another Bush legacy that damages our country.

He did not vote with the majority on overturning Roe vs. Wade. There were 2 different parts to the ruling. Roberts only voted with the majority on upholding some of the restrictions in the state law that was at issue, then he went and voted with the left to uphold Roe vs. Wade.

Roberts concurred with the decision to uphold the Mississippi law. He wrote a concurring opinion agreeing with the result, BUT he expressly said he would not have overruled Roe v. Wade. This is common for Robert’s as he believes that change should be incremental, and only address the specific matters before the court.

That is why the law was upheld 6-3 but the overturning of Roe was 5-4.

He went a little farther than that I think...and said though he agreed with the majority’s opinion, he would have only have ruled on the MS case.

it was a different john roberts. I cant remember all the details but the log entry was for a different plane and different owner but same pilot. It seems like he was a lawyer. Well associated with a university. Maybe Wisconsin. Through an endowment. My memory is sketchy on this

Chief Justice Roberts had a case around the day in question...that day or next day.

One would have to be stupid to not suspect this.

Roberts fights for the Left, and he put a Russian Hoaxer in charge of “reforming” the FISA process that didn’t get reformed.

Roberts is a Deep State hack.

Very believable that Roberts would do this. He has always valued PR and the court’s “image” in the leftist press over the Constitution.

John Roberts dean of law close to Eugene Applebaum of the Arbor Drug chain fortune. I think is the connection to the plane.

That would be interesting if true, especially after his umbrage about getting to the bottom of all this and finding the leaker. “All right, I know I’m in there and I’ve got myself surrounded. If I don’t come out with my hands up, I’m going to go in there after myself”.

The Constitution's silence on abortion means that the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly make the murder of unborn children a "right" imo. So Roberts' alleged pressure on conservatives to flip on abortion was pure politics imo.
“3. The Constitution was written to be understood by the voters; its words and phrases were used in their normal and ordinary as distinguished from technical meaning; where the intention is clear, there is no room for construction and no excuse for interpolation or addition.” —United States v. Sprague, 1931.

New, Trump-endorsed federal and state governments elected by Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters need to require that all citizens pass a basic Constitution test before even being allowed to be a candidate for a government office, such a test emphasizing the vast powers of the states to serve the people versus the fed's very limited, constitutionally enumerated powers.

”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)

Immigrants also need to pass such a test before taking citizenship oath.

And thanks to Robert's alleged arm-twisting concerning abortion, prospective judges especially need to pass a Constitution test before being allowed to take oath for bench, regardless of Ivy League law school credentials.

After all, whatever the law schools are teaching students about the Constitution, its evidently not the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as the delegates to the Constitutional Convention had intended for those powers to be understood.

"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

Passing a Constitution test can later be used to help prosecute federal and state government officials who prove by their official actions that their oaths were empty.

Insights welcome.

In the meanwhile, Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents in federal and state governments. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.

Again, insights welcome.
