Appearing on today’s Morning Joe, law professor Jonathan Turley noted that Chief Justice John Roberts teamed with Justice Anthony Kennedy to devise an exception to the Court’s ruling of yesterday that permitted President Trump’s travel ban to remain in place. Under the exception, the ban does not apply to foreign nationals with a “bona fide” relationship with a person or entity in the United States.
Turley said that as of late, Roberts has been “swimming a lot in the middle of the pool,” has become very Anthony “Kennedy-like,” and would become the new swing vote should Kennedy retire.

For this swim, Roberts took the dive when he voted for Obamacare.
Roberts seemed like a conservative next to the lady Bush tried to6appoint, Harriet Myers.
NO. TRUMP doesn’t know what he is talking about
4 to grant cert
5 to write it as per curiam
3 dissents can be part of the 5
Per curiam Does not mean vote was 9 to 0
Lawyers are arguing on whether no votes have to write a dissent. I think not on per curiam cert grant
Exactly right.
Why is it we never see liberal judges come over from the Dark Side and become strict constitutionalists?
Alito was second choice after he nominated Harriet Myer
Yes, presuming Kennedy and Ruth Buzzy retire in the next couple of years, we’ll need two conservative to nullify Roberts. What a horrible disappointment he has been.
Alexander, Corker, Flake, Gardner, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, McCain, Rubio, Burr, Tillis, Portman, McConnell, Thune, Cornyn, Cochran, Isackson, Blunt, Johnson, Gardner, Toomey, Capito, Fischer, Collins, Wicker, Sasse are all Democrats in R jerseys.
I’d say their chances are good.
Then when Kennedy retires, tell the left they already got their “moderate” in Roberts and appoint a Constitutionalist.
Roberts is just not getting enough orders from his owners. When it matters to the oligarchy, he will be told what to do. And he will do it, eager to please his masters.
