No
Roberts is the Chief Justice and did what he was hired to do.
He said at his confirmation that that his job was not to pick sides but be an umpire, to many in this country today confuse the term conservative in the context of the supreme Court with the political term.
A Conservative Justice will find a law passed by the Congress constitutional if at all possible. A conservative justice gives the will of the people expressed through their representatives precedence.
IMO Roberts looked at the dysfunctional Congress and simply said you guys passed this this.. deal with it...
Ah, but he re-wrote it.
IMHO opinion, your IMO makes no sense.
His job is to enforce the Constitution of the United States, all of it. If Congress passes a law, any law, that violates the enumerated powers granted to the federal government, then he should do his job and strike it down. That is his job.
he went beyond umpire, that’s why people are wondering.
1. he changed his position.
2. he wouldn’t explain it to his colleagues he switched on.
3. he unconstitutionally rewrote the law.
this is why many believe he was threatened/blackmailed.
“IMO Roberts looked at the dysfunctional Congress and simply said you guys passed this .. deal with it...”
Then what do we need Supreme Court Justices for, just to sit on the sidelines? Then abolish the Court as they are unnecessary.
Which really means he punted when he should have stuck with the Constitution
