And honestly, I was glad he was nominated back in the day.

You never know how these toads are going to come down on
issues.

There’s something about the enormity of the impact of these
rulings that play on the Justices mind. Thomas is the one
true solid guy on the court.

These issues do not play head games with him, and I respect
that a lot about him.

John Roberts allowed the FISA Court to be the Secret Police of the Democrat Party.

John Roberts - and I think he warned the other Justices of “Revolution” and tried to scare them off their positions.

The court’s 6-3 decision in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization upheld a Mississippi law that banned most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Technically, the vote to overturn Roe was 5-4, with Chief Justice John Roberts attempting to split the difference: In a separate concurring opinion, he agreed with the majority opinion on Dobbs but argued for “a more measured course,” saying he would have upheld the 1973 precedent. Justices Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh also wrote their own concurring opinions. In Thomas’ concurrence, he wrote that the court should now “reconsider” its decisions that found a right to contraception, sex between consenting adult men and same-sex marriage — and “correct the error” made in cases like “Griswold, Lawerence and Obergefell.” All three of the justices appointed by Donald Trump — Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett — voted to overturn Roe after stating on the record during their Senate confirmation hearings that Roe was settled precedent.

Me thinks you mean Shrub.
It was wishful thinking. S/he was hoping it was Trump.

I get that, but at bottom he CONCURRED, and that’s what counts. You wanna give it back?? Is that the point of this exercise; it’s not exactly unblemished so we’re sending it back to the dealership?

I simply DO NOT get the animus of slicing and dicing how he very nearly almost but not quite didn’t exactly agree in all the relevant particulars.

ACCEPT THE VICTORY AS THE VICTORY IT IS!

Da Hell is it with Republicans that they gotta look a gift horse in the f’n mouth all the damned time? NOTHING is EVER GOOD ENOUGH for you people! Probably gonna critique Jesus Christ’s entrance at His Second Coming too. “Oh, what a kitschy entrance! Should’ve swooped down right out of the Sun like they do in those fighter plane movies! Ruined the entire effect!”

No wonder we got lily-livers in Congress, we got nit-picking sourpusses and insufferable perfectionists back home; poor bastards get sent up to Washington knowing they’ve got to get it 100% right or they’ll get made into mincemeat by their Constituent ingrates at the next Town Hall.

Bloody Hell...

“Bloody Hell” yourself.
You’re acting like it was a flat out 6-3 to overturn Roe when it wasn’t.

Trump is not responsible for Roberts.

Just a small thing, but I was not impressed with Roberts when W nominated him.

At the event, his 7-8 year old son was acting up.Sure sign that this was not a very well run family.

I’ll wager he’s a pedo. Bet he made more than a few trips to Epstein’s Island.

The Court is clearly being led by the Thomas-Alito partnership that is providing the willpower and guts to motivate the conservative majority to decide cases based on the law

They have filled Scalia's big shoes nicely.

#24 He is the one that asks: “What do you think?” instead of making a decision. The one who always answers a question with a question and never giving an answer.

That is true. Roberts did Concur and yet last night on Newsmax the hosts were calling a 5 to 4 decision.

It really made me a little furious.

Robert is a politician. He wants to please everybody. He does not want to make any tough decision. We call it wishy washy.

Thank you. Nailed it. He cannot be trusted to be a judge first. He's 95% politician and 5% judge.

So are Robert’s adopted daughters now 18+, where he can’t be blackmailed any more with the threat of having them taken away, due to a dodgy adoption?

“Roberts is now the prime suspect in the ruling leak ...”

Watching Newsmax yesterday, one of their Contributors (name escapes me, but a Democrat) said as much without naming Roberts. He referred to the Justice that he suspects as “political adept” or something to that effect. I took it as Roberts.

Had Roberts been courageous we would be free of not only Roe but also Obamacare.
