Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts cites the horrendous Korematsu and Plessy v. Ferguson cases as profiles in judicial courage to right the wrongs of the past. But when given a chance to right an unconstitutional wrong on abortion, he wimped out.
When the draft Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization was leaked in May, the vote to overturn Roe v. Wade and its replacement, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, was at 5-4. After Friday’s decision, it’s still 5-4.
Roberts is the man who refashioned the “taxing power” of Obamacare so he wouldn’t have to spike the first black president’s signature legislation — at great cost to American freedom. Roberts is known as a traditionalist who cares more about the institution of the Supreme Court and whether it’s staying out of the press than about the actual decisions. His moves in Obamacare angered his conservative colleagues and were “not consistent, and his legal arguments were not entirely coherent. But he brought people and their different interests together,” according to a book about Roberts.
Roberts is known to whittle, chop, wheedle and trim cases so that the court votes only on a small sliver of the case, leaving remaining issues for another day. And that’s what he tried — and failed — to do in the abortion decisions. In the Dobbs decision, he tried to have it both ways, but none of the conservative justices were picking up what he was throwing down.
Instead, they threw their lot in with Justice Samuel Alito’s painstaking review of the lies, misstatements, and wrong-headed “history” conjured in the Roe and Casey decisions.

Just a suggestion here, but really, you should cease posting on this forum until you educate yourself on the issues. Clearly you are completely ignorant of what is going on.
This.
What?
Me thinks you mean Shrub.
My recollection of those hearings is that he was an empty slate, a cipher. It appeared he had planned all along for the nomination. No bold statements in any of his opinons.
Sure, he had excellent command of precedent, and I grant that takes diligent effort over an extended period.
I think he’s simply unprincipled. As others note, minimalist when it comes to deciding a case. Has an affinity for “split the baby” or “we report / you decide (purposely giving voice to liars).” Too clever by half. I know managers like this. They are insufferable.
👍
Roberts filed a separate BUT CONCURRING opinion, you douche canoe!
ROBERTS AGREED!
That makes it a 6-3 decision, not some kind of three-headed 5-1-3 freak of nature.
DA HELL’S the matter witchoo?
GMTA!

I like you.

Sorry, but I saw you post that acronym earlier in another thread, I’m a bit slow deciphering acronyms and vanity license plates. What does LGBFJ mean?
Glenshaw glass and the so called income tax on wages and any other direct tax to restore the constitutional requirement to be apportioned among the states should be next. It will upend the power of stealing all our money unlawfully and with it the power to corrupt by the feds. They will not be able to raise enough money to perpetuate the deep state.
Stop being a pinhead. Roberts DISAGREED with overturning Roe.
“ Trump’s biggest mistake.”
No idea what you’re talking about

Worse still is Roberts treason in shutting down any SCOTUS review of 2020,
Which almost certainly sealed the steal and the destruction of the Republic we have now.
Hmmm?
Your age and ignorance is showing.
