Roberts, Kavanaugh and Barrett have seized the Supreme Court for now
CNN ^ | Fri June 18, 2021 | Joan Biskupic

Posted on 06/18/2021 10:32:58 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Chief Justice John Roberts, along with Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh, demonstrated their collective power at America's highest court on Thursday.

They fueled the Supreme Court's limited opinions on Obamacare and religious liberty, in action that marks a twist for the conservative-dominated bench and adds to the suspense of the next two weeks as the court finishes its annual term.

An overriding question going into the session that began last October was whether Roberts would still wield significant control, after former President Donald Trump appointed Barrett to succeed the late liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and created a 6-3 conservative-liberal bench.

But the latest developments suggest a possible 3-3-3 pattern, with Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh at the center-right, putting a check on their more conservative brethren who regularly push to overturn precedent.

Well, that sucks. I knew from the beginning that Kav was a Roberts clone, but it’s disappointing that they’ve lured ACB into their orbit.

I think Kavanagh was beaten into submission during his Senate confirmation hearings. He is proving to be quite a whimper.

I don’t know what Amy Coney Hotdog’s problem is. She doesn’t seem to have turned out as conservative as predicted. At least not yet.

Have we, once again, installed RAT moles on the Supreme Court? “If it quacks like a duck…”. David Souter was nominated by HW and voted straight Commie from day one!

Kav was apparently chosen by Kennedy to be his replacement.

Kavanaugh is such a spineless little bitch. The leftist had his number and their confirmation attacks broke him like a rotten stick and now he is their little pet flying monkey.

Kavanaugh is worse than Roberts. Roberts is usually bad on big issues, but on smaller issues he can be like he was before he got to the Supreme Court.

And Kavanaugh is better than Gorsuch, who was significantly to the left of Kennedy when both were on there.

And he picked Gorsuch to be Scalia’s replacement.

No, he was always like this. He was a Kennedy clerk. His work on the Supreme Court is 100% in line with what we would expect from his path. If anything, maybe he’s been slightly to the right of where he usually is.

Whoever recommend Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh to President Trump must of been supporting the RINOs for sure and not the Constitution. From my standpoint they sure are not conservatives.

You are probably right, Mitch McConnell’s list of justices is pathetic. It still doesn’t change my opinion of this weak human posing as a judge. Kavenaugh was publicly pilloried and abused by the left and he took it like a woman and even though he is in a safe, lifetime appointment, the bitch votes for the pimps that beat “him” into submission.

#4: "I don't know what Amy Coney Hotdog’s problem is."

She is a trendy suburban soccer mom. She has a trendy designer interracial family, mix 'n' match, collect 'em all. "Look at me!"

With her it's all about the lil chilluns. She could not give a whit if our guns are confiscated "for the sake of the lil chilluns".

I thought I read somewhere that the white hats are in charge of the Supreme Court now (thus all the recent 9-0 decisions)?
