On Thursday, the Supreme Court delivered another major victory to ObamaCare, voting 6-3 in King v. Burwell to uphold the subsidies at the heart of the sweeping health care reform law. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts appointed by George W. Bush, and once a beloved figure on the right wrote the majority opinion, joined by the court's liberal wing and swing Justice Anthony Kennedy.
This isn't the first time Roberts has sided with the left on ObamaCare. And as a result, my fellow conservatives are comparing Roberts quite ignominiously to David Souter.

On second thought W gave us Roberts and Alito, so perhaps you are right - maybe this is an intentional manifestation of the Bush family’s infamous principle-lessness.
He is a blackmailed coward who has betrayed his oath of office. He will go down in history as a disgraceful traitor to all those who died for freedom, just like Bowe Bergdahl and Anthony Kennedy.
I wanted Roberts and Kennedy to FOLLOW THE LAW! Two frauds!
Note to any new, emerging nation. Do not, I repeat, do not, under any circumstances, adopt the concept of judicial review of legislative acts by a high court. It will come back and bite you in the backside, every time.
Of course, W only gave us Alito after the uproar over his nomination of Harriet Miers caused him to pull that one and nominate Alito.
And there were rumors that he wanted to nominate Alberto Gonzales, but some internal objections might have nipped that in the bud.
Had GHWB not ridden into the White House on Reagan’s coattails, none of them were ever have gotten close to the presidency.
You cannot abandon something you never were. I believe Roberts was a stealth candidate and snookered GW into appointing him. Then of course the likelihood of him having illegally adopted two kid from Ireland is also opening him up to blackmail.
No he won't. Roberts and others like him are the ones writing our history now.
Just heard a short radio news spot and Trump said that it was Jeb who helped convince W to appoint Roberts. Roberts got involved in the Florida recount in 2000 and got to know Jeb.
Lol, maybe we'll hear more on that. Hopefully Trump can make it stick to some extent.
You are right, of course. But, those who meet in basements years hence to discuss the formerly great America that millions foolishly died to save, Roberts and Kennedy will be looked at as scum.
This I did not know but it does not surprise me.
They know theyre making sh*t up.
We know theyre making sh*t up.
They know we know theyre making sh*t up.
We know they know we know theyre making sh*t up.
There is no pretending anymore.
Its a dictatorship.
Roberts never had any core values except for what's best for him. Truth, honor and decency means nothing to him or most Americans now a days.
Roberts was/in like this Soft Handed Turncoat PU$$Y:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Olson these 2 are why Sodomite “Marriage” will be inflicted on US!
Pure and simple, we now live under a dictatorship.
Roberts was always a man who could be bought with money. Bring up the internet photo of Roberts going to the entrance of the Bank of Malta with a briefcase. He gives a sheepish glance when he notices he has been seen. This was at the time he made two-step dance to twist Obamacare as socially palatable.
Outside of Bush1 doing what many other pilots did by fighting and dying against the Japs with plane instead of surface ship or dirty and ugly hand combat I don’t see much in the Bush family that excites me above other families as to being upholders of the Founders intent for the US. The Bushes like and courted the friendship of the Saudis who were friends of Hitler in WWII. The same family that holds sacred the shrines at Mecca and Medina for Arab jihadists to claim eternal glory.
FU G. W. Bush. I didn’t like this guy from day one. He looks like a leftist toady. And FU Fred Thompson, a man I once had respect for, for helping W get him confirmed. Go sell your reverse mortgages to gullible seniors Fred you jerk.
Oh, btw Fred, your acting sucks.
Roberts has abandoned the CONSTITUTION, not conservatives.
BTW, would Harriet Miers have been worse than Roberts?
I’m not convinced, at this point.
