Called it several days ago when he caved on the asylum ban:

We’re gong to hear a lot of “even conservative Justice Roberts” from the media in the future, much like “conservative John Mccain.”

Ha!

The President uttering the words “0bama Judge” really struck a nerve with Roberts and big media.

Did they think no one would notice?

Like McCain, he has developed a taste for the fawning praise of the media when he does their bidding. In the end, it will turn him into what McCain became: a bitter old man who reflexively stabs other people in the back for his own gain. When you need that approval it makes you an extremely insecure individual. It also gives those whose approval you crave absolute power over you.

Ruth Ginsburg practically called Trump a Nazi, and despite 3 cancers and dementia, she will not retire and will be taken out feet first.

No, no - the court (and our permanent government bureaucracy) are not political at all.

We need one more vote. Barrett for RBG would work.

Judges are human too, and lifetime appointments mean they can do whatever they want unchecked by any authority. Also that the courts have aquiured powers the founders never expected them to have.

“The author, Adam Liptak. Lawyer turned journ0list. Looks ten years older than his 58 years too; perhaps even 20 years older than he ought to look.”

Being a RAT will do that to a person. But he has only half of “The RAT Look!”
To complete it, he will need to grow a serious, but ratty, perpetual five o’clock shadow, and get a pair of round wire-rimmed glasses with flat lenses.

Hopefully, she’s getting some well-deserved “help” from Satan!

With this piece from the Slimes, looks like Roberts is a goner in terms of being a constitutionalist conservative. Not surprising, given the horse he rode in on.

It is partisan, the 4 libs are at least. We need every GOP appointed Justice to be as well. Partisan is not a dirty word, we’re in a cold civil war and there are 2 sides, and too many on “our side” are willing to play the Vichy role.

As Chief Justice, Roberts must tamp down claims of bias while the grim reaper is scratching for RBG.

He’s not a swing vote. If he is it’s in name only. He’s a liberal vote on anything that makes a real difference but then a conservative vote on the frivilous non everyday concerns. He us a piece if crap.

Roberts is not conservative not is he the leader of anything conservative. I would say it is about time that we call him the leader of the liberals.

I guess the NY Times forgot about the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco and the damage they have done along with the damage they wanted to do that got overturned at the first opportunity by a higher court. I guess it was just a little oversight.

The dems only appoint hyper-liberal judges that legislate from the bench. Pretty much blows the non-partisan theory out of the water.
