GWB: You know what to do, John.

During an appearance on Huntsville, AL radio’s WVNN, Brooks referred to Roberts’ 2012 opinion in National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius, which upheld the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, as justification for his skepticism in the chief justice’s abilities.
“Justice Roberts has been mentally erratic in his legal foundation for the opinions he has written,” Brooks said on “The Jeff Poor Show.” “By way of one example, out of nine Supreme Court justices, he was the only one who thought that Obamacare was not socialized medicine, was not some kind of government health care program. He thought it was a tax increase, therefore it was permissible; therefore, the government could mandate that the American people be forced to buy products that they may or may not want, OK? Now that’s a direct conflict with the liberty and freedoms established in the Bill of Rights and the United States Constitution. But Justice Roberts engaged in this kind of legal gymnastics in his own brain that all eight of the other Supreme Court justices thought was rather bizarre. But nonetheless, he was the deciding vote on Obamacare. So, I don’t trust John Roberts’ judgment.”

Neither do I.
Who does trust his judgement?

In no time at all, Socialist Nancy Pelosi and her buddies have established a new bourbon brand: ZERO PROOF!
Unfortunately, America is being forced to drink it.

Now that’s clever.
Dread Pirate Roberts just appointed a new judge to FISC - a radical leftwing judge originally appointed by hussein44.
But it’s all good - all judges are the same...right, Johnny?
“He’s dirty, Jim”
Faggots are always unstable!
When Justice Rehnquist was asked what he did during the Clinton impeachment, he said “Very little, and I did it well.”
......
Again, this is a legislative proceeding, not a court or a trial.
Justice Roberts opinion is not relevant since ‘impeachment’ is a political process.
In his absurd opinion concerning Obamacare, Roberts proved that he cannot be trusted.
Well Mo- even though he is mentally erratic- he’s magnitudes more sane than the left that just impeached donald trump over NOTHING
i don’t think the Chief Justice will have much impact on an impeachment trial ... the Senate majority establishes ALL of the trial rules in advance (likely to be the same rules used in the 1998 Clinton impeachment), so the only job of the presiding judge is to rule whether the rules are being followed or not ...which is pretty much the job of any judge presiding over any trial ...
I don’t trust Roberts, or MCConnell, or Pelosi, or Schumer, or Schiff, or Nadler, or Comey, or Brennan. I didn’t fully trust (former democrat) President Trump until he had been in office for a year. Ronald Reagan said it best “trust but verify” (a Russian proverb - collusion?), and even that was diplomatic compared to my real feelings. Trust almost no one.
The price of betrayal will at best be a second civil war. We need to keep our eyes on America’s enemies, foreign and domestic, and even on our so-called allies to avoid that catastrophe.
I'm not so sure of that.
He has at the very least sided with republicans on issues- the left in government hardly ever does- because most of them are nearly completely insane
I’m no roberts fan- just making the point that mo calling him irrational or whatever he said is the pot calling the kettle black
Roberts turn the Obamacare ruling on its head, and he could do the same thing here. He’s shown he’ll color outside the lines to get the ruling he wants.
He’s as queer as a three dollar bill.
He’s the equivalent of Mitt Romney in judges.
