Chris Matthews is going to get this copy for the centerfold.
Time magazine should save their blue dress.
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?
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.
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.
Congratulations, Roberts. You’ve destroyed the integrity of the court in exchange for some media whoring. This is his legacy.
Had the decision gone the other way, the Court would have been trashed, criticized, villified and de-legitimized; the usual tactic of the subversive left.
(It looks like Mr. Roberts might have been threatened; if true, it would be lovely to find out by whom.)
IMHO
