Roberts issued a ruling this week, that procedurally green-lighted Washington DC implementation of marriage for homosexuals. There have been insinuations that Roberts is gay. I suspect this resignation story is pure speculation/hype, of a sort that can naturally be built on recent events, and recently-illuminated insinuations.

That said, I will not be the least bit surprised if Roberts steps down from CJ position, or perhaps from the Court.

If this is the worst, what did folks expect Roberts to do. He’s been hemmed in.

Yeah, that’s what I fear too, I remember the left trying to slime Roberts back in 2005 about being gay as well. He does have a wife and kids, however I believe all his kids are adopted...

I pray this isn’t the case, and don’t shoot the messenger, these are just things I have heard raised by the left.

No.

The ruling did not address the question of same sex marriage, only legal jurisdiction, and it pointed out that future cases would more directly address the issue.

Where is the source of the rumor that Roberts is a homosexual? Please, some kind of source.
