"And I don't want to hear anything from the two junior justices," Roberts added, the clerk told Howard-Browne's source. The clerk said Roberts went on to say, "I will tell you how to vote," and that "Justice Clarence Thomas said, 'This will end be the end of democracy, John.'"
"When they left the room, Roberts and the liberals and Kavanaugh had big smiles; Alito and Thomas [were] visibly upset; ACB and Gorsuch didn't seem fazed at all,"
The Supreme Court claiming it has no jurisdiction over a suit between states in this case was pure political cowardice. If the Supreme Court can’t hear a case joined by 20(!!) State DA’s, in a time of crisis - who does have the power to hear it??? By their craven punting of this issue, the court has made an ass of themselves and has lost a lot of credibility.
We should also note also that all 3 of Trump’s SCOTUS nominees, voted to deny the Supreme Court has “original jurisdiction” in this case. Trump was again stabbed in the back by his own choices.
“The clerk said Roberts went on to say, “I will tell you how to vote,””
Who does this guy think he is?
Shameful if this is true and the CJ is such a coward that riots frightened him off.
“’Are you going to be responsible for the rioting if we hear this case?”’
Well Damn!
if that isn’t a sound Constitutional arguement I don’t know what is.
typical for treason scumbag John Roberts.
This sounds entertaining but apocryphal.
John Roberts needed to be retired as soon as DJT was inaugurated.
Yep, I called that one too.
That’s ok, Johnny, the SCOTUS isn’t needed for any of the remaining moves POTUS needs to make.
On that note, POTUS needs to go scorched Earth on any and every weak-kneed or flat out Vichy “Republican”. The skullduggery goes both ways.
The Justice to watch is Justice Thomas!
He had talked of retirement but I think he may stay to keep the C. vote in play. Not give Hid’n Biden a quick fill.
Although if he did retire, his first book would be a gangbusters Exposé!
Only my 2 cents but I believe he is a Top Jurist and Christian!!!
This is why Antifa was created.
Those unnamed sources again.
What this says is that Thomas and Alito are honorable. Would love to see Roberts implicated in the Ratcliff report
There is ZERO chance this fan fiction is true.
1. Clerks don’t sit in the private meetings of the Justices. There would be no chance for a clerk to hear anything, let alone this.
2. Roberts has no power or authority over the other justices. If they want to hear a case, there is nothing he can do about it.
3. SCOTUS clerks don’t leak. It’s an end to any legal career. Period. It’s the one rule the slimy lawyer cartel can’t break.
Roberts should not let the threat of a leftist temper tantrum influence his decisions.
That is not impartial.
Lord, Please remove him from his seat.
So Roberts is an effing coward. He sold the country out because of riots!
Hang him for cowardly sedition.
Wasn’t there already like 6 months of riots? Whats the big deal. I remember they rioted when Hillary lost.
Brett Kavanaugh helped to cover up the death of Vincent Foster. He’s well trained in Washington’s corrupt ways.
Don’t know if this is true or false. The friday refusal to
hear Texas vs. Ga. et. al. is all I need to know about Trump’s newbies. R.B Taney would be proud of them.
The Supreme Cowards did as expected. That is what happens when you elect bureaucrats.
If this is true another few steps towards Civil War, Sad.
I always said Kavanaugh was a bitch.
So any decision that could result in riots automatically goes to the liberals according to Roberts. That means that Roberts has de facto done away with the Constitution. He believes in mob rule. What if there were conservative riots? Would Roberts decide differently then?
