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.

IOW, he wanted to cut the baby in half... how apropos.
He was just doing the job that his handlers are paying him to do.
Not surprising.
That’s more clear and how I recall it. Thanks.

I have no doubt Roberts kept the SC from hearing the steal case. Hiding behind the standing argument. Everyone in the country has standing in a stolen Presidential election. I believe this story and he probably was the leaker.
Welll, he failed.
Nothing we can do about him. He is there for life.
Roberts is compromised. Remember this.
Oh I totally agree.
He’s either a VERY BAD CATHOLIC or he is being BLACKMAILED about the adoption of his children!
My GAYDAR is OFF the CHARTS!
“Didn’t they also give us Thomas?’
George H.W. Bush gave us Clarence Thomas and David Souter, one of the most liberal judges on the Court. He was 1 for 2 in putting a conservative on the Court.
George W. Bush gave us Chief Justice Roberts. For the second justice he nominate his close friend, the RINO attorney Harriet Miers on the White House staff, who had never served as a judge. After considerable pushback from Republicans in Congress, Miers withdrew her candidacy and Bush appointed Samuel Alito who has been a reliable conservative on most votes. This makes George W. Bush 1 for 2, but if his original pick for his second nomination (Miers) had been confirmed, he would have been 0 for 2 in putting conservatives on the Court.
It has often been noted Democrat appointments to the court always remain liberal. Republican “conservative” nominees often drift left on the court — Earl Warren, Harry Blackman, John Paul Stevens, Susan Day O’Connor, David Souter, and John Roberts. It remains to be seen if Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett move left over time.
Democrats never compromise or waste a Supreme Court vacancy. Too many times Republicans go for establishment pedigree (Ivy League law school, federal judge, time in the DOJ) instead of ensuring their conservative philosophy of government is rock solid.
Harvard and Yale law school teach the “living Constitution”, not original intent of the Founders. Yet for some reason every GOP president goes to the leftist Ivy League law school graduates for judicial appointments. Why?
If the Dems hadn't attempted to Bork Clarence Thomas, things may have turned out differently. Apparently, Justice Thomas holds a grudge longer than an Irishman.
