Chris Matthews is going to get this copy for the centerfold.
Time magazine should save their blue dress.
Anderson Cooper too.
Exactly why Roberts did what he did - media adoration.
He's receiving his reward from men alright, but he's sacrificed his soul ( and this country) to get it.
What were on the other 4 pages?
No kidding. Time is about as thick as the average Costco advert, but with less content.
So, mathematically, 1 page of favorable press coverage = 2 pieces of silver?
Kind of like giving the kid in the corner with the dunce cap a gold star.
As long as he is OUR stupid I suppose.
they were left blank
So aside from Roberts, I wonder who is going to buy one of these at the news stand or grocery store checkout?
Well he got what he wanted!
“By contrast, the Congress voting to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt for failing to deliver documents on the Fast & Furious program drew two dismissive paragraphs ”
Wow. They actually mentioned it? I`m shocked. No sarc/
The example cited is not the only example of Roberts “Squirming like Houdini”. The entire decision is simply nonsense. It is totally inconsistent both with itself and what the authors of the bill had said.
Robert's decision is not a "compromise" or a "bravura feat". It is an abandonment of logic, legal principles and even common sense. Roberts originally had decided the health care law was unconstitutional. Late in the process, for no perceptible reason he changed his position and supported the law.
No one can refute that John Roberts is very intelligent. He is far too intelligent to believe “squirming like Houdini” and simply making stupid, illogical and contradictory statements constitutes a sound legal analysis.
Whatever the reason for Robert's decision, the dishonest praise by the MSM proves something is very wrong.
Good grief.
You know what REALLY worries me ... where does the Roberts Court go from here? I see him sliding much more toward Kennedy on Social issues, i.e. liberal. I also see the Court, shifting, somewhat, to the Left.
The Health Care ruling is the least of our problems.
John Roberts
Just when I thought there wasn’t a single square inch of my back without a knife in it.

LOL. I’m laughing with you, not at you. Believe me, I share your pain.
He has his reward.
Oddly enough, this would probably be defeatable, with a little Freeping. If he gets back from Malta, and undergoes what Al Gore underwent (”Get out of Dick Cheney’s house!” only more like “Traitor! Coward! Spineless! Liberal!”), I’d bet he would think twice before pulling that little stunt again. Those who crave adulation are even more sensitive to personal criticism.
I’ll bet the subtle image of being surrounded by hostile individuals taunting him would affect him more than we could understand. And it would prevent him from thinking such a move as he pulled would be worth it in the future.
The alternative is to let the Liberals reward this little prick’s cowardice with ego stroking, and begin to train him, which will be a huge problem in the future if we don’t counter it with a sharp correction.
