>> Instead you get fraudulent misrepresentation, like Coulter's here. I would have thought that was beneath her. I was very obviously wrong. <<

Knowing Coulter's history, I think extreme hyperbole and bomb throwing about a candidate is just typical behavior for her, and certainly not "beneath her". She loves to say outrageous stuff to get attention. IMO, she does more damage to our side than "helps" us.

That being said, she was right to doubt John Roberts at the time, and sadly it fell on deaf ears among most conservatives (including me). Ultimately, she did accurately predict that Roberts would betray us, but she was INACCURATE in claiming he'd morph into "another Souter".

Aside from Obamacare, I don't think Roberts has turned traitor since then. I'm not one to buy the "Roberts was blackmailed" conspiracy stuff but it seems odd he'd only side with the four commies on that ONE issue. It was very out of character for him, especially since Mr. Squish Anthony Kennedy was vehemently IN FAVOR of striking down Obamacare.

Still, Roberts betrayal on Obamacare means I can never trust him 100% again. As far as I'm concerned, we only have two reliable conservatives on the court now: Alito and Thomas. Next tier down would be Roberts who seems 90% truthworthy, the next tier down that is faux "pro-life Scalia-type judge" Gorsuch who idealogically has much more in common with Sandra Day O'Connor, the next tier down from that is the center-right Anthony Kennedy, and then the bottom tier is the four socialist RAT judges.

Roberts is extorted by the American Communist Apparatchik STILL in control of DC.

He ought to RESIGN tomorrow, confess that he betrayed us due to extortion (he looks like a homo and has shenanigans going on with his adopted kids), and really throw a MONKEY WRENCH into the gears of the scumbags in DC.

What a dishonorable DOUCHEBAG!!!!!!!!!

Roberts can redeem himself and admit he was forced into his unconstitutional ruling, I’ll petition his office to do the right thing.

ANOTHER BUSH MISTAKE!!!!!

My thought is Roberts didn’t want to overrule Congress and so twisted himself into a pretzel to not do so. He seems like a smug, full of himself and his judicial majesty type.

I give no credence to evidence free “blackmail” theories which seem to amount to “he illegally adopted his kids and libs could take the kids away or impeach him for it”. I don’t understand why that nonsense is easier for some people to believe than to believe he’s just a jerk. Maybe they don’t want to take responsibility for loving his nomination? I don’t see why, mistakes happen, especially with the limited information we have on judicial nominees.
