Who appointed Roberts to the court anyway?

Yep. Said this the other day when the cert denials were being discussed on here. The four want to force the lower courts to treat the 2A as a real right, but they are not yet sure cowardly Roberts will see it through, so they vote for cert (and dissent from denial) in different cases rather than all voting to grant the same one which would have the Court hearing the case and possibly creating bad precedent.

Roberts is unpredictable. Because it only takes four justices to put a case on the docket, if Roberts were a solid anti-2A person, the liberal bloc could get one of these cases on the docket. If Roberts were a solid 2A guy, the conservative bloc would push this onto the docket.

It’s an open secret. Everybody knows Justice Roberts has turned a hard left. It’s no longer a surprise, though still a disappointment.

I’m almost certain that Barack Obama and his leftie Deep State friends have something on Roberts. Something big. More and more he is going against almost his entire career track record prior to the Supreme Court.

Roberts is compromised. To me that has been evident since the Obamacare ruling.

What you’ve just written is exactly why, if the Flynn case gests to SCOTUS, Flynn and DOJ are likely to lose. Remember, Obola has sent up the Bat Signal.

I was hoping it was only temporary, unfortunately it isn’t. President Trump surely fell for him. He isnt the first one who fell for a Supreme Court Justice and unfortunately won’t be the last one either.

This stand sends a message to the state regulators that they can now implement any gun legislation they want.

We need committed right-wing activists, just as the Left nominates committed left-wing activists. Sneer all you want at Sonia Sotomayer and her credentials - she’s a guaranteed left-wing SC vote on every issue. We do not need any more “textualists” recommended by the Federalist Society who are savaged by Democrats during the nomination process and who then promptly betray conservatives once they are seated. We need the right-wing equivalent of Sonia Sotomayer - a reliable vote for conservative causes on the SC.

The fact the only case they took is one that was already settled is all you need to know. They are not doing anything until after the election.

Roberts is OWNED.

Recall the mysterious appearance of 200-some odd FBI records in the West Wing of the Clinton WH circa 1996?

Like HRC, Obama’s people have similar intel on him and his background/foibles.

A quick websearch will show you a flight manifest on Epstein’s Lolita Express with John Roberts’ name in it. So far I haven’t seen anyone refute its authenticity with any level of expertise.

Why do you think the FBI scoured Jeffrey Epstein’s pedophile island estate AND his house in NYC so quickly after his arrest?

Agreed. Scalia said of Thomas that he was somewhat crazy for basing his decisions on Natural Law theory. We need more rather than fewer Natural Law theorists.

If what you say is correct, why did Roberts vote for the Heller and McDonald cases, which uphold the Second Amendment, and which the left universally loathe.

GWB may not have been a libtard but he definitely is all in for globohomo. When we are told by Conservative Inc. that such and such justice is conservative, what they are really saying is that justice wont get in the way of megacorps.
