This is what I saw. I wonder if anyone else saw this besides me.

“I still wonder how the Rats got Roberts to rule in their favor on Obamacare...”
Right.
And I don’t think this is over by any stretch of the imagination. I smell a rat.
A Swamp Rat.
Hopefully I’m wrong.
They want Roberts to make the decision because they own him and he will rule for them or else!
We don’t have a majority we have 50.
but he won’t get involved
The other reason Democrats want the Chief Justice to decide which witnesses are relevant is that if witnesses had to be subpoenaed and that went through to the Supreme Court, Justice Roberts might have to recuse himself from deciding if the witness would have to appear because he had already been involved in the case. Taking one conservative out of the mix could help the Democrats cause.
The comments on the website are mind-blowingly stupid. They must live in an alternate reality.
He has a job for life. No political fallout for him if he screws us
what’s DISGUSTING is that 3 Rs are making us even have to discuss this
Every time we get close to winning, the Dems come out with something else.
It's a roller coaster.
One moment I think the President has got a solid case, and the next moment, the Dems have thrown another wrench into the works.
I would like to see this over, but the Dems are never going to let up.
And the Repubs keep letting them get away with more and more.
When is this going to stop?
Not his job
Corrupt people asking a corrupt judge to further corrupt a process that they have all corrupted.
These people are disgusting.
Here come the time wasting Dem amendments. There will be a bunch of them like this.
That was beautiful.
Enjoyed seeing bald-faced Schiff left in the lurch.....knowing Nadler had been lying in wait for that moment.
As enjoyable as watching frozen Hillary fall into the SUV.
Betcha Nanzi and Schiff are hatching a plan to let Nadler take the blame for sinking impeachment.
A shoe tapping Larry Craig type situation?...
This is what I saw. I wonder if anyone else saw this besides me.
If Roberts pulls the Democrats’ nuts out of the fire, it will be his “Dred Scott” decision.
So let me get this straight -CvH offers a motion allowing the CJ to break ties, and it is defeated on party line votes. What a monumental waste of time.

(HAT TIP BASALT) Chris Matthews warned----in the key state of PA
the buzz from big shot pols is that Republican registration is going thru the roof....
Does anyone know what happened to Dersch??? I looked for him last night, and now all I can find is that he quit the legal team. Nothing on him about this anywhere except on Drudge. . . True?
We have a Constitution that has abided since 1789, through one crisis after another, even a civil war, and it is plainly written. Changes can be made but only through a deliberate process the Founding Fathers made difficult on purpose.
Now the democrats are willing to toss that all aside; 231 years of history and precedent just to politically get one man.
Do they think it is worth it?
Could not this be used against them in the future?
Does the Chief Justice, who balked at taking away the first black president’s ultimate achievement not see the implications of history also being taken here?
The whole thing is patently unconstitutional and any rational lover of the United States would see this.
We live in a terribly lawless and shameless age!
“He has a job for life. No political fallout for him if he screws us”
He intervened and legislated from the bench before, there’s no reason to believe he won’t do it now.
“what’s DISGUSTING is that 3 Rs are making us even have to discuss this”
Collins has no choice, there’s NO excuse for the puke romney.
I can’t believe what fuc#### asshat that guy is.
What’s CvH?
