My definition of a Conservative Judge, to use your term, I prefer Constitutional Judge, is one who rules to uphold the Constitution. To make sure that the executive, legislative, and even judicial branch plays by the rules that are stated in the Constitution. Under your scenario, hell we can just close down the Supreme Court. What good are they if they will refuse to over rule anything Congress or the President does. Me, I want them to slap down Congress and the President when they exceed the authority given to them by the Constitution.

I certainly understand what you are saying.

I’m just telling you why Roberts is acting the way he is acting, as well as I can figure.

He’s a Harvard educated lawyer, no doubt aspiring to be Chief Justice from birth. How you or I define him is irrelevant.

there is a reason lawyers are so unpopular. Half of the folks lose and half of the half are dissatisfied with the outcome of their litigation.

The Judicial system is not and will never be what you or I may want it to be.
