Roberts WAS a hard core conservative.
It doesn’t work that way . . . re magnitude of slippage. They cast a devastating vote. Like Obamacare. What bigger moment could there have been. Roberts can vote conservative the rest of his life and still be averaged out hard core left wing.
You can’t know. The fight can be harmful. If the reward is uncertain, it’s not a fight worth fighting.
1. Ginsburg, a Jew, recognizes Obama is a Muslim.
2. She’s lost her husband, her best friend in Scalia, and most of her friends and co-workers. She loves the law and her role, particularly in defending the 4th Amendment.
3. She’s not as frail as people think. She’s looked this way for 30 years.
4. She fell asleep. Law and scholarship are rigorous, tiring, memory-tasking, definitely not 9-to-5 jobs. Every word must be the right one. A judge I knew said in his verdict: Words are not fungible.
5. After Trump gets his pick approved, he should put Roberts on the carpet and ask his resignation. Make Thomas Chief Justice and appoint the youngest conservative to replace Roberts.
