Yeah that’s kind of where I’m leaning.

John Roberts has cast a hell of a lot of conservative votes in his tenure. That’s why so many people were surprised by this on both sides! You just can’t rewrite his record now and say he’s really a closet liberal. He’s not. You can call him a coward. A wimp. An a@@hole. But a liberal he is not.

What record are you looking at? - surely, not the last three! He should step down if he is as righteous as you claim. HE won't - HIS ACTIONS scream while your words mean nothing! Not every liberal is a TRAITOR but he is!!

The dissenting opinion by three of the court's most conservative members (Scalia, Thomas and Alito) was very deferential and respectful of Roberts. I suspect these four have a lot of very interesting, intelligent discussions over legal matters and the role of the judiciary in the Federal government.

Roberts also sided with the "liberals" in overturning the Stolen Valor Act. That may not have been a popular decision here on FreeRepublic, but it was the right one. In fact, I suspect Scalia, Thomas and Alito dissented on that one just to practice their writing skills ... and to make sure it wouldn't be a 9-0 decision. :-)
