Incredible information in this article.

After an unusual three full days of oral arguments in late March 2012 (a typical case gets one hour on one day), the nine justices gathered in a private conference room off the chief's chambers to cast initial votes. They were alone, with no law clerks or administrative staff......Roberts did not want the entire law to fall.....

As was his prerogative as chief justice, Roberts chose to write the majority opinion, giving him the ability to shape what the court would ultimately say. Senior liberal justice Ginsburg was ready to write for the dissenting foursome. Soon after, Roberts began trying to persuade Kennedy to find that the unconstitutional insurance requirement could be severed from the rest of the law. But Kennedy -- often a swing vote on high-profile cases -- was firm in his position. He was puzzled, and then put off, by Roberts' view that the ACA provisions could be severed. Later in April, Roberts tried another path. He began exploring whether, as the Obama administration had argued, the individual mandate could be upheld as a tax.

Fled to Malta immediately after the vote. What's in the briefcase Judas?

Replacing Roberts with a decent Chief Justice would cement Trump as our nation’s
“savior!”

[Moonman62]

Hear that everybody? The Constitution is negotiable under John Roberts rule.

[Fido969]

Another fantasy from CCN. So many think that Roberts was threatened or bought off. The “tax” idea was obviously a complete scam.

I hope we learn the truth.

What BS. There is nothing “inside story” about this piece of crap. The inside story is Roberts broke the law with the adoption of a child. It was serious enough that it could be used as blackmail against him. He didn’t want to give up his sweet job which was more important to him than the welfare of the Nation.

But they aren’t political, right?.

Why would an article like this be coming out now??

[hardspunned]

Roberts, the Bushite knife in the back that just keeps twisting.

[FLvoter]

This article just reads like a cover up. Its trying to make him sound justice-seeking, principled man of law for some reason. Not buying it.

You know what, Chief Obama Judge Roberts, the Traitor?

I never bought the ***damned insurance, and I never will.

I’m not your subject, punk.

A Supreme Court justice negotiating for political reasons rather than protecting the Constitution is an act of pure evil. The perspectives that words don’t mean what they say will in the long run be far more dangerous to American freedom and to the rule of law than the national socialists, the soviet socialists, and today’s socialists combined.

Negotiating?

This kind of stuff makes me furious. The law is not “negotiable”. Every one of these judges who “negotiated” should be impeached and removed from office.

It shows Roberts NOT thinking as a jurist - what does the law and the Constitution say - but as a legislator - how can I make this work.

Strangling the Constitution by altering - ipso facto - the pure text of the law, in order to make the legislation work, is what is only to be done DURING THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS, not by the judges.

All of the Bush picks will serve the globalist agenda,

Expect nothing from Bush choice Kavanaugh either,

This is the spirit of anti-Christ rising up,

This is not a battle against flesh and blood,

They receive their power and authority because that serve that spirit whether they understand it directly themselves or not, daddy bush knew who he served,

Chie& Justice Judas.

[LaRueLaDue]

You know, the description of Roberts worried about health care business, the court’s legacy, etc. is so fraudulent and wrong-headed it is pathetic.

The court’s mandate, and primary function, is to rule on constitutionality of laws. Nothing else. Everything else is up to the legislative and executive sides of the government.

We have fallen so far from Constitutional government, I don’t think we can regain what we lost.

Watching the TV news, all the democraps say is Merrick Garland was denied his place on the court. If Obama hadn’t engineered the death of Justice Scalia, nobody would know who Merrick Garland is. I wonder if Clapper, Comey, and Brennan were in on the murder.... (yeah, the tin foil hat is fitting pretty good tonight).

I’m not sure that this article explained the real reason behind Roberts’ shift in opinion, just the mechanics of the thing.

Trump’s quotes at the end were funny as hell, though. Classic Trump!
