Lol, very funny pm. Wouldn’t Occam’s Razor more likely lead us to the fact that Roberts just isn’t Conservative?
What you posted is an extremely convoluted conspiracy theory.
The Occam's Razor explains the opinion that he was compromised. I take it you didn't read the opinion. It starts out coherent as if he had written it in order to strike down the law on the grounds of the commerce clause and then suddenly, in legal language not fitting a first year law school student he launches into a diatribe about the taxing authority of Congress and then to top it off he writes an exception to the anti-injuction rules regarding challenges to taxes.
Now IF Roberts was compromised and was forced to write this weird and convoluted last minute opinion, then whatever Eric Holder has on him would be serious enough that he could be compelled to resign in order to give Obama a shot at creating a majority of liberals on the bench.
Now who would be the least likely candidate to be voted down by the Senate? That would be Hillary. The Republican libs like Snowe and Collins would be thrilled to have Hillary on the bench and McConnell would NEVER call a filibuster against a former first lady.
Watch it happen my FRiend. It shall come to pass.
Actually, that would be a tough argument to make. Every conservative writer in America and the entire conservative base was convinced that John Roberts was a conservative, and that based on his record, his testimony, his early votes, etc.
EVERYONE....that is why the shock at this.
So, I'd have to agree that Occam's Razor is on Marlowe's side, at a minimum in terms of Roberts never having presented in the past as a liberal.
SOMETHING took him to liberal-land...and that's what Marlowe is "Occam's Razoring" about.
It's entirely possible he woke up one day and said to himself, "John...darn...they're right. Those darn liberals are right. I'm signing on right now as of today."
I guess that's a possibility, too.
