Please, don't be bashful, tell us how you REALLY feel. lol.
In any case, I think Roberts turned traitor as well, but the FReepers demanding he be tarred and feathered weren't helping us anymore than those on the other extreme trying to justify Roberts decision saying it had a "silver lining" of "ensuring Obama will be a one term president" and other BS like that (including the Gorsuch style excuse of "oh he was just sending it back to Congress to get them to do their job right and fix the law, so his reasoning was sound").
I recall numerous FReepers demanding Roberts impeachment at the time of the Obamacare decision. How exactly that would be solved anything was beyond me, since if they hypothetically succeeded in getting Roberts impeached and removed at the time, Obama would have promptly named a Ruth Bader Ginsburg clone to fill the vacancy.
Overall, if Gorsuch and Roberts had been on the court a similar length of time, I could probably easily show Gorsuch is well to the left of Roberts (as he certainly was prior to his SCOTUS appointment) But since Gorsuch has only been there a year and Roberts has been there a decade, we have almost no Gorsuch record to evaluate. Roberts record after only 1 year on the court had been "excellent" as well (and so had Sandra Day O'Connor, Harry Blackmun, John Paul Stevens, etc.), so it basically means nothing.
If you want to talk REAL judicial reforms against these backstabbing federal judges, it is time to rethink the rules allowing them to have a LIFETIME appointment and the ONLY method of removal from the bench being impeachment. If that means amending the U.S. constitution, so be it.
