Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts rejected a plea Thursday to block a contentious air pollution rule for power plants in a big victory for the Obama administration

Do you miss hin NOW???? Another example of why the Bushes are airheads. This clown needs to be removed from the Chief Justice position. He has morphed into a liberal monster - another Earl Warren

John Roberts doing 0bama’s dirty work again?

Wow, I couldn't see that coming.

Knock me over with a feather.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Air pollution is a tax, apparently.

[pgkdan]

Of course he did. The stench of W. lingers...

[Axenolith]

Roberts has to be a Hastertite...

[TMA62]

If it is a rule, then don’t follow it. The EPA has directly poisoned a pristine river in Colorado and knew about lead contamination levels in Flint’s water supply and did not alert local and state officials for MONTHS.

He definitely has something he wants to keep secret.

[RIghtwardHo]

Don’t it just.

[RIghtwardHo]

That’s not true. Just because someone does what you don’t want or expect doesn’t mean there is something to hide .

However ... it DOES mean that he definitely skews liberal.

"The EPA responded that no judicial stay is necessary since it’s working to fix the problem the court identified by next month, and the states would not suffer irreparable harm in that time."

This looks to be a technical hold. To see if the EPA will amend its plan. Let's not get our hair on fire yet. It will emit too many particulate and carbon dioxide pollutants if we do.

[shelterguy]

Then he is just an idiot.

[Renegade]

The “gay” traitor should be thrown out and deported.

[Dana1960]

And I’m supposed to worry about DJT picking justices, right?

[Founding Father]

Appointed by a GOPe president, the GOPe judge, betrays the constitution again.

Down with GOPe. Burn the party down to the ground and start over.

I’m guessing the NSA data mined some dirty laundry on Roberts and passed it on to. Obama.

[Samwell Tarly]

George W. Bush is the worst president in American history.

Worst natural-born citizen president anyway...

[Sacajaweau]

It looks like the rule itself is intact...but not in effect until the EPA submits some data.

[Flavious_Maximus]

You must not have lived through the Carter or Lindon Johnson years. Those two are the worst. Neither of them was reelected.

[SoothingDave]

Why bother to inject facts and reason into it. Don’t you know that all FR cares about now is winning?

When electricity becomes too expensive for Middle Class families to afford, they can thank Chief Elitist Roberts. They ought to turn off the power to the Roberts abode so he could empathize with the ruin he has brought to this nation.
