It was blackmail.
The Chicago Way.
1. Roberts’ homosexual past
2. Roberts’ illegal adoption of his children
Shame on Bush for nominating this guy.
“...who can’t find a limitation to government anywhere in the Constitution.”
Today, on Independence Day, we are reminded that the entire reason for the Declaration and later the Constitution, was to limit the central government’s power over the people. The Founders had had a king and didn’t want another.
Roberts should be pilloried when he comes back from hiding in Malta.
Nice article. Bozell correctly writes that there is no “silver lining” and you can read between the lines and see that he’s as pissed off as the rest of us. “Traitor” is not too strong a word here.
It is distressing, that Republican politicians fail to see this.
This is the worst of Roberts’ actions - that the left now knows that they can mau-mau the Court whenever they want and still get their way even when the law is plainly against them. It’s like when they were successful borking Bork. It doomed us to endless acrimony with every SC appoinment by a GOP President. Roberts’ has doomed the Court to be under an electric arc of bolshevik threats and agitation whenever their marxist project is at issue. He has done exactly the opposite of what he imagines his ‘cleverness’ to have accomplished. He did not ‘save’ the Court from politicization he condemned it to political hell.
Regardless of the reason, Roberts has demonstrated that he’s little better than a middle-school nerd who can be intimidated by the cool kids.
He needs to go—One way or the other.
I need to drink a cup of coffee; go to the bathroom to take a good Roberts, and then jump into this fray.
Roberts is an attention whore. “Look at me, everybody, look at me! I really shocked people, didn’t I, huh, didn’t I ?!?” The little weasel shoots America in the head and then runs away like a coward to vacation in Malta. What a sick piece of sh**. Roberts is dead to me.
>> He is a traitor to strict constitutionalism, whether he folded to Obama or to his image-manufacturing bullies in the media.
He is certainly an jackass, and it will take a miracle to prove otherwise.
Roberts is out of the country, and so is Ken Melson.
Ken is staying out of the country. Obama will not let him come back.
This is the worst July 4th I’ve ever spent. This ruling by Roberts & those 4 hacks on the court have enraged me. I was thinking of my late old man this evening who spent 4 years in Europe fighting the Nazis. He was shot & spent months & months in the field fighting for his life for what.....so his son & grandchildern could be enslaved by the federal government ? As a poster mentioned: we are now finding out that Roberts was NEVER a member of the Federalist Society. It’s a fiction he let stand. Brave guy....this Roberts.
