Roberts was nominated to the Supreme Court by Bush II. (You messed up yet again, W.)

The article notes that Roberts usually sided with the conservatives early in his tenure there, but is now more of a swing vote.

Sounds like Roberts is a case of the supreme court becoming “Souterized” by a justice appointed by a Republican president.

That’s why everybody to the left of Chuck Hagel is so frantic about Ginsburg. If she’s replaced there will be an ACTUAL conservative majority.

Bush was part of the one world order movement, part of the anti America group. Why would you expect anything else from someone he appointed to the courts. Most anti USA Dems ate overt, Republican traitors are covert.

If Roberts is being blackmailed (perhaps because of his illegally adopted son) he should step down since he can’t do his job properly anymore.

Roberts kids were were the result of illegal child traffic actions. He is forever owned by the left.

Roberts sold his soul to Hades when he sold out the nation on the Obama care decision.

If he ever had any integrity and honor at all he threw them away at that time.

He is still Chief Justice but is not worthy of the chair he occupies in that lofty position.

As a man and as a judge he isn’t worth a gob of warm spit.

Ways you can tell.

1. He smirks like Peter Strzok.
2. Obamacare. Gee, there, Roberts. Thanks for that great “tax” idea.
3. His insane “There are no political judges!” rant. Anyone THAT blind should not be on the Supreme Court.

And, as others have said, thanks again for putting another shovel full of manure on America’s unwritten history, GWB.

His sorry a## is theirs, its being held to the fire. The adoption of his child that was illegal is over his head. It should be revieled delt with and get him off the court. A supreme court justice is being blackmailed!

He’s a lost cause, and will soon be joining the leftist judges in 5-4 decisions on high profile cases, not mere procedural matters.

There will never be a genuine conservative Supreme Court. If President Trump manages to win re-election and the GOP manages to hold the Senate then maybe we’ll get to replace Ginsburg with a conservative, but if that happens then the temptation of being the hero to the elite class will fall to Kavenaugh and Gorsuch.

Find out how Roberts is being blackmailed, and expose it already... get him to resign. He’s worse than worthless.

“You messed up yet again, W.”

I’m convinced W did not mess up. He fully intended to put “moderates” not conservatives on the court. The nonentity Harriet Miers was his other choice. He only ended up nominating Alito because enough GOP conservatives in Congress opposed her nomination. Had Bush been successful in getting Miers on the SC, we would have Roberts, Miers, Kagan, Sotomayor, Breyer, and Ginsberg as a majority of 6.

History shows Supreme Court justices never move right as they age. Conservative judges either hold to their convictions (Scalia and Thomas) or evolve moving left (Kennedy). Moderates (Souter, Blackman, Powell) always move left.

Roberts should resign. He is obviously compromised.

Chief Justice John Kennedy Roberts.

The 5-4 conservative majority is false - with lefty Roberts, Kavanaugh leans left also and so the real make up when push comes to shove is 6-3 liberal. When DJT’s case on the border wall comes up, they will vote against it.
