John Roberts, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, is seriously considering stepping down from the nations highest court for personal reasons, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Roberts, known for his conservative judicial philosophy, has served on the Supreme Court since 2005, having been nominated by President George W. Bush after the death of former Chief William Rehnquist.
RadarOnline.com has been told that Roberts, 55, could announce his decision at any time.
The decision paves the way for President Barack Obama to make his second appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court following his first, Sonia Sotomayor.
If this turn out to be true, its Rahm-a-cide.
This is a diversion. It’s sure to be fodder for the news cyle.
What is the news story they are trying to divert attention from with this junk?
Oh please, is this going to be Roberts Rumor Day. I’m out of here.
I am aware. If the rumor is true, he may have a serious health problem. I was referriong to Ginsberg and the others who hang on.
Many of them are “oathkeepers”
Are you saying you heard it on FOX??? If it is true, it must be that Roberts was threatened to step down.
National Enquirer Exclusive
...and the definition of credible media outlet is?
Remember who had the goods on My Little Pony, John Edwards early on???
I pass over American media pretty much now print wise and go with the London Telegraph UK for news which has shown to be "out there" before it is "out here", (news discovery on terrorism, climate-gate fraud, medical discoveries etc.) even before our favorites of talk/radio. "Free" APP for the cell Phone directly from website via on-line...which I like better than their web site as broken into categories made easy to peruse and sized for easy smart-phone readability. Quick.
The moderator who changed the title..it’s misleading. Roberts has NOT SAID “news to me”
Latest I saw on Fox News was that it’s not true...probably more soon.
This is a wait and see. I cannot believe John Roberts would step down at this time unless the reason is quite dire.
He knows how important he is to the well being of the country he loves.
Fox is reporting it’s not true.
Barry trying some strongarm tactics?
Check out RadarOnline’s homepage, and see what you think of their credibility.
Well, it must be back, cuz it's there (as of this second).
If he is, Roberts would be the wrong person to try it on.
now gone from Drudge
I agree. These thugs work behind the scenes to take down their enemies.... no telling what they are up to.
Where at? It’s not on the website.
