Well now, you simply can’t have it both ways! The SC justices are supposedly appointed for life because they are all interested in upholding the Constitution and the rule of law. They are all above the current partisan politics, right?? Or are they pliable by the current mood of the public and pressure from elected politicians? If they can be influenced by external pressures then maybe they should not have lifetime appointments!
Is it 5-4 or 6-3? I guess it depends on Roberts. That said, my biggest concern is that one of the Justices ready to reverse Roe will have a “heart attack.” There would be no smoking gun. It might even be a real heart attack. But no one would believe it.
There are probably enough credible threats to give Roberts sufficient cover to call an immediate vote and announce the decision early.
Breyer is Jewish....he’s all FOR abortion!! Go figure.
They already voted and made the decision, have to craft the majority opinion just right Hense the leak..
Delays are the leftist’s primary weapon. They organize behind the scenes, pass out talking points, and THEN make their attack. Pressure, pressure.... pressure. That is a weapon that must be neutralized.
Conservatives need get inside the leftist OODA loop. Acting quick neutralizes leftist action. This SCOTUS decision should have been officially released within 24 hours of the leak.
Every additional day that goes by means you are playing into the leftist game plan. If this decision isn’t released until June, it is almost a certainty that the vote will be switched.
“Flip” meaning terrorize into submission to mob rule.
I thought Roberts voted against the decision??
If the decision is already made, taking a justice out wouldn’t change the ruling. Cold hard fact.
Sick perverts.
They screwed up on Dred vs. Scott.
The plaintiff was Etheldred Scott. The case was Scott v. Sandford. The court decided the Circuit Court had lacked jurisdiction, and that the Supreme Court therefore lacked jurisdiction. The Supreme Court remanded the case to the Circuit Court with instructions to dismiss for want of jurisdiction.
Jurisdiction in the case was claimed on the grounds of diversity of state citizenship. It was claimed the owner was John Sanford, a citizen of New York and the defendant was Dred Scott, a citizen of Missouri. The Supreme Court of Missouri, in a prior proceeding, had decided that according to Missouri state law, Scott was not a citizen of Missouri. In interpreting state law, the final authority is the highest court of the state. As Scott was not a citizen of Missouri, the claim of jurisdiction by diversity of state citizenship failed.
As stated by the Court, 60 U.S. 393, 454 (1857)
Upon the whole, therefore, it is the judgment of this court, that it appears by the record before us that the plaintiff in error is not a citizen of Missouri, in the sense in which that word is used in the Constitution; and that the Circuit Court of the United States, for that reason, had no jurisdiction in the case, and could give no judgment in it. Its judgment for the defendant must, consequently, be reversed, and a mandate issued, directing the suit to be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
It should also be noted that Sanford was not the real owner. The owner was Calvin Chaffee, an abolitionist Republican congressman from Massachusetts.
Been saying this for a while. Same with the elections. Same with the border. Same with the riots.
I’m not talking about a convert but rather a one time conscience pang and how well it would “trigger” the Left. Roberts is a lost cause. I think he is just weak and facing some problems that might amount to blackmail.
What I did find over the ten years I have been covering this story is that Roberts' wife, from Ireland,and the couple had roots there, but not the mandatory two years required by Irish law to be able to legally adopt kids.
Anyway Roberts' mother in law had successfully talked his wife into adopting a blonde haired boy and girl from Ireland. From what I read they took the birth mothers to South America and here's where it gets murky and has the feel of Epstein meddling. Somehow the kids were smuggled into the U.S. as South American kids with blonde hair and blue eyes!
This thing has Epstein and his paramour written all over it. Anyway the NYT did a standard piece on it and probably found out what had happened but declined to pursue it since they are gutless wonders at best.
With this story somewhat hidden the middle aged couple went on their merry way until Obmacare hit the Supreme court. My guess is, with little confirmation, that ozero used the super computer designed by experts in the field to track terrorists to dig up dirt on Roberts. It Didn't take much computer time to find the NYT story.They pursued it a little bit more and figured out that Roberts had indeed smuggled in his kids to the US and was prime for blackmail.
Hard to say who did the dirty work but it's likely someone did and Roberts did a very awkward 360 on zerocare. The other conservatives on the court were aghast.Roberts got the wrath of Scalia and one other judge.
For almost a month they tried to figure out who got to him. Roberts,who is slick as owl sh_t eventually eeked out a 5/4 victory for Obamacare classifying it as a tax.
Later, he claimed he did it so it was easy to repeal,since a tax can be killed any old time. That was a lot harder than he suggested. And Roberts' reputation was destroyed and still is today.

The Scullduggery John and Jane (nee Sullivan) Roberts were married in 1996 and about four years later they adopted their two children, both infants at the time, a boy and a girl, about four months apart in age.
The adoptions were "private," meaning they were arranged through private parties without the involvement of any agencies. The notion of the Obama White House blackmailing Roberts arose with rumors that the adoptions may have been illegal under the laws of Ireland.
Ireland? Yes. It seems the children were said (by whom is unclear) to be of Latin American origin. Their fair complexions and blonde hair, however, suggested to some that a northern European origin was more likely. Two sets of circumstances to keep in mind:
One is that during Roberts's confirmation battle almost nine years ago (he was nominated by George W. Bush), the New York Times was hot on the trail of anything untoward in the nominee's past. Seven years later, in the weeks immediately preceding the ObamaCare ruling, the Obama White House was doing its own digging, and the president himself was out in public decrying a possible ruling against his signature accomplishment. Now, a question: Which European country makes both private adoptions and out-of-country adoptions illegal? Yep. Ireland. Therefore, as the rumor has it, the Roberts children must have been born in the Emerald Isle and therefore their adoptions in America must have been illegal. Clearly the chief justice was ripe for blackmail if there were facts to back it up. Be a shame to see your family broken up over ObamaCare, wouldn't it, Chief? Then there's that impeachment thing.

If Obama's dirty tricks team was able to use the government's might and power – just as the IRS is doing – to find out the details of the adoption proceedings for Roberts’ children, that might have given them a tremendous amount of power over Roberts.
Baker claims that, if the children came from Ireland, Irish law bars both private adoptions and adoptions that take children out of Ireland. If that is what Roberts and his wife did, Baker has no sympathy for them. They broke the law because they thought they were above the law.
What's more interesting, if this whole theory is true, is how it affects the American people: There's absolutely no doubt that Roberts, who truly adores those children, would sacrifice his professional ethics to keep them. Indeed, if the Irish adoption story is true, he already sacrificed his professional ethics to get them.
The fact that this could destroy the American economy and turn the IRS from a scary administrative agency into a true fascist, bureaucratic monster, would be of little concern to him. This is all conjecture, of course, all of which stems from two peculiar things: two blonde little children identified as coming from Latin America and one Chief Justice's bizarre legal decision.
Normally, we here at Mr. Conservative wouldn't consider this kind of entirely unsubstantiated conjecture. However, given all the recent stories proving that there is no end to the lies and malevolence flowing from the Obama administration, especially when it comes to advancing the Obama agenda, it seems reasonable to believe that the Obam-ites wouldn't get squeamish about a little thing like blackmailing an American Supreme Court Chief Justice.

It’s 5 without Roberts, who probably is only concurring in the upholding of the MS law, not the striking of Roe. Otherwise he almost surely would have written the opinion.
