John Roberts Is a Freaking Coward, and It's Time to Stop Pretending Otherwise
Red State.com ^ | November 29, 2020 | Bonchie

A few days ago, I wrote on the 5-4 decision by the Supreme Court to strike down Andrew Cuomo’s clearly unconstitutional COVID regulations. They were clearly unconstitutional because they specifically and unfairly targeted religious institutions. Cuomo didn’t even really attempt to make a salient case, as one simply doesn’t exist. His rules have been arbitrary and discriminatory, worrying more about Jewish kids going to school than mass protests in the street.

Neil Gorsuch eviscerated Cuomo in response (see Neil Gorsuch Murders Andrew Cuomo, Twitter Murders John Roberts)

Of course, this shouldn’t have been a 5-4 decision. A ruling so fundamental to individual rights should have been 9-0, but the liberal justices are going to do what they do. Yet, it was Chief Justice John Roberts, a Bush appointee, who truly showed his colors. Listen to his reasoning and try to come away with any other impression than he’s just a political coward.

GORSUCH (counterpoint): "If we dismissed this case, nothing would prevent the Governor from reinstating the challenged restrictions tomorrow. And by the time a new challenge might work its way to us, he could just change them again."

Roberts essentially admits that what Cuomo is doing is unconstitutional. Instead of simply ruling that given that was the question at hand in the case, he decides it’s best to vote in favor of Cuomo. Does that make sense to anyone? His excuse is that Cuomo was no longer enforcing the guidelines, yet as Gorsuch explains, without striking them down, they could be reinstated at any time. Roberts knows this, but he’s such a coward that he can’t even be on record supporting the most basic of individual rights, i.e. the First Amendment.

Roberts is trying to have his cake and eat it too by saying in his opinion that the restrictions are probably unconstitutional but let's not decide either way as long as Cuomo temporarily lifts the restrictions whenever they make their way to us.

— Eddie Zipperer (@EddieZipperer) November 29, 2020

None of this is surprising though. There’s a reason the Supreme Court has thus far refused to hear any difficult Second Amendment cases. Roberts does not want to have to make a tough decision. That’s why he rewrote Obamacare instead of rightly ruling it unconstitutional. It’s why he ruled for COVID restrictions back in January that were targeting churches while allowing other forms of gatherings to go on. Roberts is not a protector of the law. He’s a political actor trying to keep the back-slaps flowing on the D.C. cocktail circuit.

George W. Bush made a lot of mistakes. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, to the extent they were justified, were ultimately waged inefficiently and without the will to win. Bush delivered essentially nothing for conservatism, instead embracing a Medicare expansion and the further federalizing of education. Yet, John Roberts may be his worst, most inexcusable fumble. He had a chance to place someone as Chief Justice who could be a conservative bulwark against tyranny for generations. Instead, he put Roberts in that position and the country has been paying the price ever since.

Roberts is compromised. We knew it following his decision on Obamacare after he was seen shortly on “vacation” on Malta, the world’s money laundering capital. Let us also not forget the name “John Roberts” is on the passenger manifest of Epstein’s Lolita Express.

Whatever the deep state has on Roberts they first put to use during the Obamacare fiasco. And from that time on Roberts has been working for them.

What you said. He shows great courage in personally flying to Malta to deposit bearer bonds.

He’s worse than a coward; he’s a traitor to the US Constitution. The very thing he swore to uphold. That also makes him a liar which means his word is mud.

Is he a coward, bought and paid for, threatened with some kind of dirt, or has he always been a Leftist that just hid it well?

Coward? Or politician? I think we’ve known this since the Obamacare ruling 8 years ago.

Although there have been quite a few 5-4 rulings since that time where he was on the right side. But he feels the need to toss some bones to the other side so they feel he’s “objective.”

Supreme Court nominees who have enjoyed a junket now and again on the Lolita Express need to politely say thanks, but no thanks.

55-45 Republican. But with Specter, Collins, Snowe, Murkowski among those making up the majority. Specter was also the Judiciary Committee Chairman.

And that's just an uncommon name, it leaves little doubt as to who it was.

Or that’s what he believes. I don’t know why the whiny section of conservatism is so hung up on bitching about him. He doesn’t agree with us. Suck it up and move on.

John Roberts is a compromised justice. He also knows exactly what happens if the deep state becomes unhappy with him and his family. Roberts is a gate keeper for the shadows.

Court is a beautiful thing in the United States of America

The beautiful thing about court is there’s guidelines and principles and restrictions , such that the truth has its best chance of being heard

As far as I’m concerned we’re already ahead of schedule as we already had our first hearing last week which was quite incredible if you listen to Rudy and Jenna and the president present their case there in Gettysburg

Roberts certainly is a lost cause. A bush disaster. Bush had a lot of disasters

But I digress

Last week in this fight for America ; this war ; this counter- revolutionary war. Against a leftist totalitarian cabal trying to seize power illegally. ( the democrat party and its concorts )

Last week was just filing week according to me ; this week is hearings week ; and decisions week and appeals week perhaps .

and then the next week is supreme court week in this run up to December 14 , the first real deadline that we have for any of this to be completed by

The main point is that Ruth Bader Ginsberg decided to go meet her maker at a very opportune time. Amy is the real deal. As are Gorsuch and kavanaugh: Thomas and Alito. All four were treated horribly And unfairly by the Democrats in their nomination fight.
L
Of course I believe President Trump , our wonderful and great , and selfless leader, Has all this mapped and planned out

The information is coming out slowly but surely but in a measured manner cases are being filed evidence has been presented and pretty soon the evidence is going to be repeated and overwhelming

If you didn’t listen to the interview with Marie Bartiromo this morning, you absolutely need to

So getting back to court what court case could probably have any more import than this one? Maintaining free and fair elections
