I do not like Chief Justice John Roberts. I think his loyalties lie more with defending the entrenched powers of the political Establishment than with defending the Constitution of the United States. I find his jurisprudence squishy. Although his decisions could be described as advancing, more often than not, conservative viewpoints, Roberts does not seem to have a consistent philosophy guiding his opinions.
Roberts is a pragmatist. He surveys the mood of the country and considers how the rest of the members of the Court will vote on any case, and he chooses a position that he feels will best preserve the institutional longevity of the Judicial Branch. Roberts is, in other words, more interested in maintaining the power of the branch that he embodies than in making tough, but correct, decisions.
None of Roberts’ rulings better exemplifies this pragmatic, amoral approach to jurisprudence than his 2012 decision to save Obamacare by redefining the individual insurance mandate as a tax, rather than as a penalty...

I don’t like John Roberts either.
I think the author said, “he’s a Bush-y.”
And there are persistent rumors that he’s compromised and perhaps being gently blackmailed — perhaps something to do with his adopted Irish children. But I suspect he’s simply spineless and keen to support — and be seen to support — the establishment and the latest legal fashion.
Lets not forget the illegitimate adoption Obama conveniently brought to his attention when he wanted Obamacare scam classified for all Americans, scum
I do not like Chief Justice John Roberts
Agreed. Hated him since his ruling on the Obamacare legislation - where he changed his mind at the last minute after publicly denouncing Obamacare.
“Chief Justice John Roberts changed his position on the Affordable Care Act at the last minute during the Court’s deliberations in 2012, shifting from initially voting with the conservative justices to strike down the individual mandate to ultimately upholding it as a constitutional exercise of Congress’s taxing power.”
He is a bought-off traitor, IMO.
And his squishiness is more subtle.
Loper Bright is a prime example. While most of the majority would have held the Chevron Doctrine to be outright unconstitutional, Roberts decided to write the opinion and say that Congress can make Chevron the law again.
And Barrett is his lapdog. Votes with him 90% of the time.
He’s untrusting when it comes to the constitution. Sometimes yes. Sometimes (as with the tragedy of his Obamacare order) “the constitution be dam@ed!”
And, this cowardly turd violated the Const by not sending that re-written ObamaCare tax bill back to the HOuse so it could be submitted — IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONSTITUTION.
He is not pragmatic, he is a tool.
First look at headline ,,,I expected this to be a bee sting.
I suspected this guy was going to be an establishment shill when the the Chief Justice died while Roberts was being confirmed for SCOTUS and Bush elevated his nomination to chief justice and the Senate jumped to approve him, showing he was probably a card carrying uniparty hack. And indeed, 20 some years later, we know he for certain that he is.
What spine?
Some people think spine equals ruling for the Repub position all the time.
Others think that a spine equals ruling upon an objective interpretation of the original intent of the Constitution.
Laws don't change until the legislative process changes them, legitimately.
What spine?
