His leftward shift may have as much to do with institutional pressures as ideology.

Is Chief Justice Roberts A Secret Liberal?

Maybe...maybe not, but a lot of people think that the Odumbo admin. “had something” big on Roberts from way back and used it to keep him compliant.

Correct, he most surely did. Whether it be due to the Oath was sans Bible/pro Koran, or sans true Birth Certificate? (O’Bama, Marshall, Soetoro) there were dirty oaths given and spoken, both participants.

Photos of him younger out with the boys, you’d NEVER THINK he was heterosexual.

He and his wife have adopted two Irish born white babies from South America, breaking laws in order to do this. Third party country adoptions are illegal everywhere. He would never allow his two precious children taken away from their parents, home, and country.

He is bought and paid for and on that tight public leash.

Yes, as the Harriet Myers pick was his wife’s or some liberal puppet of his.

That is when his true colors came out.

Bush Jr is an arrogant prick who does not like to be challenged.

Eh, I don’t buy it, this is all supposition.

If it was Scalia or Thomas upholding Obamacare, that would have been suspicious.

But as we’ve seen since, Roberts is only a moderate conservative at best. I think he just betrayed us, pure and simple.

If I was as you said, I would have zero sympathy for him knuckling under to gangster tactics. The thing to do would have been to go public and fight. But again, I don’t buy it.

This constant abuse of the word “liberal” is maddening.

Why does anybody want to call the fascist tyrants liberal?

Crony corporatism and social conservatism are at odds.

If my memory serves me correctly, "Heard he has an adopted son he got illegally from Ireland"

Heard he adopted two son's he got illegally from Ireland, via Columbia, South America.

Doesn't everybody go to Columbia, South America to adopt children? /s {/s= end of sarcasm}

Re: “We don’t know for sure what caused Roberts’s leftward shift.”

Bunk.

Every one of these guys had a hardwired ideological slant BEFORE they got to the Supreme Court.

The best predictor of how they will vote has nothing to do with 538’s charts and statistical wizardry.

Instead, the Senate Democrats tell us exactly how these guys will vote...

Harry Blackmun, John Paul Stevens, and Anthony Kennedy - Democrats unanimously confirmed all three of them.

David Souter - 45 Democrats voted to confirm.

John Roberts - 22 Democrats voted to confirm.

I don’t know ? this is just speculation.I think one of the parents was Brazilian the other was an Irish national. the children had dual citizenship but Roberts and his wife were not aware of that being a problem. I had heard that they learned of the children through friends but tis is just internet rumor.

No he is a not so secret international felon who illegally adopted two children from Ireland and has been blackmailed about this ever since. Look it up.

Five of our kids have no health insurance. They ALWAYS had it before Obamacare. I have to pay for all their med care. Even childbirth. I am retired. I cannot afford this. But due to O care it is necessary. Our niece can’t afford health insurance. Her dad pays for her medical care. Our son makes $32K a year and pays $1k a month for health insurance thru his job. We paid into Medicare, social security for DECADES. Our Medicare is taking $1400 a month from our S.S. Checks. Thanks to Obamacare, Roberts, John Cronyn, etc. I never go to doctor! 66 years old, perfect vision, etc.
